RENTING CONSISTS OF 3 STEPS IN THE NETHERLANDS
FIND YOUR HOUSING
We know how daunting the Dutch housing market feels, especially when you're searching from miles away. Your first step is to get familiar with Funda, Pararius, and Kamernet—these are the main spots where your future home will pop up.
Since things move fast here, we’ve put together a survival strategy specifically for students. It’ll help you get your paperwork ready and teach you how to grab a landlord's attention so you can land that first viewing.
ATTEND THE VIEWING
Once you’ve sent off your application, keep a close eye on your inbox. If the landlord or agent likes what they see, they’ll reach out to invite you to a viewing at a specific time.
Since these slots fill up in minutes and you might still be abroad, this is where we come in. If you can’t make the trip, just let us know and one of our locals will step in to be your eyes and ears on the ground.
MOVE IN
Once the viewing goes well and you've got the green light, it’s usually a quick sprint to the finish: you'll sign your lease, handle the deposit, and get your keys.
Welcome to your new place!
Rule of thumb in apartment search is to never rent without viewing. But what if you are not available for a viewing?
OnBehalf is service for students and professionals who seek a new home but due to location/schedule can't physically attend house viewing.
PRICING €
Once you’ve sent over the details, we’ll put together a custom offer for you. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all flat fee because every search is different.
We’ll calculate a fair price by looking at the distance our local has to travel, the current viewers supply in that area, and any specific requirements you have for the visit.
This way, you’re only paying for exactly what your situation requires.
