Rent Apartment Amsterdam

READY TO RENT A HOUSE IN AMSTERDAM?

Just of the airport (Schiphol) in Amsterdam and you’re ready to hunt some houses! Very good! But there are some things which can come in handy before you’ll start to house hunt. Understanding ofTHE RENTAL PROCESS can be your biggest advantage, as it can save you lots of time.

As an expat finding housing in Amsterdam

Life in Amsterdam for expats on the property market can become frustrating and confusing. As an expatriate in Amsterdam it is difficult to find anything to rent beneath the 1.000 euros per month, as the city council has STRICT REGULATIONS for renting out property in Amsterdam. The regulation consists of the fact that citizens of Amsterdam can rent cheap apartments because of the fact that they have a basic income and have been on a waiting list for years and years.

Apartment Rentals in Amsterdam

The rental market in Amsterdam is one of the most fast moving industries in the Netherlands: the market is very quick and very good apartments in Amsterdam are rare. Most apartments are rented out within a month; so it’s key to be quick and make the right decision! A HOUSING AGENCY is very valuable in this process; as this housing agency knows the market and can get you the best lease deal possible. Do not select too many housing agencies in Amsterdam, it’s best to stick with one at the time. As all licensed housing agencies are working together it won’t even get you a better deal in a financial sense. And on the other side: all housing agencies know each other, so they will know in no time if “you have been sleeping with the competitor”.

Picking the right agency in Amsterdam

Be wise and pick a housing agent which works no cure, no pay. You can also ask the housing agencies whether they work for multinationals in Amsterdam / do business housing. Mostly if they do, you know you’re at the safe side. Working with a good housing agent is important, as there are lots of “cowboys” on the market which can get you to rent illegal apartments (without you even knowing it!) or let you pay deposits and in the end you’ll end up with nothing, so be careful! On the sunny side: Amsterdam has also lots of dedicated licensed housing agencies for expats, though every agency has its specialty and some are more trustworthy than others. The housing agencies we work with have been working with expatriates for over years and speak proper English, as they have all documents in English for you as well.
