"Huur gaat voor koop," a legal doctrine in Dutch law, means that in the event of a property being leased, the tenant's rights hold priority over those of a subsequent buyer if the property is sold. To illustrate, imagine Alice is renting a house from Bob with a two-year lease. If Bob sells the property to Carol during this lease period, Carol must respect Alice's existing lease agreement. Despite becoming the new owner, Carol cannot evict Alice or modify the lease terms until its expiration. Essentially, this principle safeguards the tenant's rights, ensuring the continued validity and enforcement of the lease even after a change in property ownership
