Renting out a residential property in Amsterdam?

You are always the one who makes the final decision, we only have an advisory role in this. We will not cooperate with a selection based on discriminatory preferences.

The identity document is checked and verified, an employer’s statement, 2 recent salary slips and a bank statement are requested and checked. If the tenant has already rented out in the Netherlands, we will ask for a reference letter from the previous landlord. If a tenant is new to the Netherlands and starts a new job, we will call the employer to verify all submitted documents. Also a google check often provides a lot of information about the person in question. Renting out is never completely without risk. A careful selection and screening prevents possible problems with the tenant or misuse of the rented property as much as possible.

If you would like a live meeting in addition to the profile of a tenant, we can arrange a Meet & Greet. This is not always possible live, but a video call offers a solution.

Renting out in the free or liberalized sector means that you can agree on a (market) rental price yourself. In order to comply with this, the house must have sufficient points in accordance with the Housing Valuation System. The limit for the free sector is currently (as of 1-1-2022) at 763.47 euros, which according to the table amounts to at least 145 points.

This is possible. Please note that regular renting for a period shorter than 6 months is not allowed.

There is a market for upholstered homes as well as for furnished homes. When renting out to expats/internationals, the demand for furnished accommodation is often slightly higher. The smaller homes are also often better furnished to rent out. Families are more often looking for an upholstered home, or at least not fully furnished. The larger homes are therefore often better furnished to rent out.

As of 1 May 2022, an important change in the home valuation system will apply, which can have a major impact on renting out your home in the private sector.

To be able to rent out your home in the free sector, you need a minimum of 145 points according to the Housing Valuation System (WWS). The starting point is the free sector limit of 763.47 euros (2022), which is now equal to 145 points. A large part of the total number of points currently comes from the WOZ value. In the new WWS, a maximum of 33.3% of the share of points from the WOZ value applies from 1 May 2022.
