Housing in the Netherlands
Universities generally cannot guarantee housing and may only reserve a limited allocation for international students. Fraud checks and a signed contract are essential in the private market.
Check the full cost
Confirm deposits, utilities, contract length, furnishings, transport and cancellation terms, not only the advertised monthly amount.
Protect yourself
Verify the landlord or provider, use a written contract and avoid untraceable payments or offers that cannot be inspected.
