Pricing

The relative shortage of rental properties in the
Netherlands is correlated with the housing
prices. Rent may vary from 300 euros for a
single room to over 2.500 euros per month for a
fully restored apartment in a 17th century canal
house in the centre of Amsterdam.

The rent consists of two parts, the basic rent
and the service charges. You will notice that the rental price can be either inclusive or exclusive
of the service charges (gas, water, electricity,
Internet connection, landline, cable TV, and
building utilities).

If your rent is less than 540 euros per month you
can apply for a rent subsidy. Click here or

Requirements

You will definitely be asked for guarantees
concerning your ability to pay the rent.
Professionals need to demonstrate a copy of
their job contract whereas for students it can
be more time-consuming: you usually have
to present a bank statement of your account
in the Netherlands, and probably a statement
from your family bank account with an
English note exhibiting your crediting ability.
In any case, you must provide your BSN
and always look for apartments where you
can register.
