The Dutch rental market is more competitive than ever. For every available home, there are dozens of candidates. How do you ensure that you stand out?
1. Ensure you have a complete and professional file. Landlords want certainty — a good file provides that.
2. Respond quickly. The best homes are gone within hours. Set up notifications and respond immediately.
3. Expand your search area. Also look in surrounding municipalities for more opportunities.
4. Engage a mediator. A professional party like Snelwoning has access to homes that are not listed online.
5. Be flexible with your wishes. A slightly smaller home or a different floor can make all the difference.
6. Prepare well for viewings. First impressions count with landlords too.
7. Keep your financial documents up to date. Payslips, employer’s statement, and ID must always be current.
