More ways to rent out: Hospi Housing for hosts and landlords
Hospi Housing is now open to landlords. List studios, apartments or houses and find suitable tenants through our trusted housing platform.
For years, Hospi Housing has been known for homestay: people who live in their home and rent out a room. That focus helped thousands of tenants find affordable housing, while helping hosts share their home in a safe and simple way.
Now we are taking the next step.
Hospi Housing is now also open to landlords - people who rent out a property while not living there themselves. This expansion allows more types of rentals on the platform and gives more people the opportunity to contribute to easing the housing shortage. In this blog we will explain how Hospi Housing works for landlords.
For what type of landlords does Hospi Housing work?
Hospi Housing is still the platform for homestay rental, but we are now also open to other type of landlords. This contributes to our mission to provide more, affordable housing. Who do we welcome:
- People who want to sublet a home while not living there
- Private landlords with one or more studios, apartments, or houses
- Agencies, brokers, and property managers renting out multiple units
Whether you rent out a single apartment or manage several units, you can now use Hospi Housing to find suitable tenants.
How does Hospi Housing work for landlords?
1. Two registration paths: host or landlord
When creating an account, you simply choose the option that fits your situation:
Host - You live (mainly) in the property and rent out one or more rooms, or you temporarily rent out the entire place.
Landlord - You do not live in the property and rent out one or more units as an owner, agent, or property manager.
Registration is free in both cases, and both hosts and landlords receive personal support from Hospi Housing.
2. Creating a listing as a landlord
Landlords can create listings for:
- Independent units (studio, apartment, or house)
- Non-independent units (rooms with shared facilities)
- Fixed-term or indefinite rental periods
- Multiple units under a single landlord profile
In short: whether you manage one studio or a full portfolio, Hospi Housing supports you. Tip: Hospi Housing is always open to improve, so if you have specific wishes you can always contact us for requests or extra support.

3. Easily find a tenant that meets your preferences
The process of finding tenants works just like it does for hosts. Interested tenants can respond to your listing, after which you can chat, answer questions, and schedule viewings. Simple, transparent, and personal. Hospi Housing makes sure to connect you to the right tenant to make sure you find the perfect match.
4. The right contract for every rental type
Once you’ve found a suitable tenant, Hospi helps you choose the right contract:
- Hosts: homestay contracts with a 9-month trial period
- Landlords: fixed-term or indefinite contracts for independent or non-independent units
This ensures the agreement matches your rental situation. For landlords we propose the right type of contract depending on the type of accommodation and the rental period you selected. You can always change the type of contract you would like to use. After both parties signed the contract, you can easily manage and download contract from your Tenants overview.
5. Support during the rental period
Hospi’s support continues throughout the rental period.
This includes:
- Personal advice when questions arise
- Help with clear agreements and smooth communication between tenant and landlord
- Management of deposit, contracts en rental payments
- Conflict resolution and assistance with ending rental agreements
Furthermore, Hospi Housing is always willing to see how we can provice personal assistance. For landlords, we always look at which additional services might be helpful. When needed, we provide personal guidance and support along the way.
