Yes, you can!

• If not stated otherwise (in the rental contract) you have a 1 month notice period (opzegtermijn in Dutch). Which means that even if you have a one year contract, you can tell the land lord end september that you will be leaving en of october.
  
  Remember one thing, in the Netherlands the tenant enjoys more legal protection than does the landlord, so do not be afraid to open your mouth and ask what you want.
  
  Maybe some people think they can treat you bad because you are a foreigner, but if you do not let them, you will not have any problems.
  
  STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHT!!!!!
