My Apartment Story
I moved to the Netherlands to work as a software developer, while my partner came to study. We started searching for an apartment 5 months before arriving. Even though we had a stable financial background, didn’t smoke, and had no pets, we got zero reasonable responses from over 200 applications.
Then, a friend of ours mentioned she was moving to another city and offered to recommend us to her housing agent. We put together the perfect offer—one that was harder to turn down than to accept. And guess what? It worked!
Our Application looked like this:
-
Move in the day after the last tenant leaves – no empty rental means no lost income for landlords.
-
Accept the apartment as-is and offer help with repairs to make it easier for the agent.
-
Show proof of financial security – every landlord's main concern
-
Clear, well-structured introduction and a picture from us.
