Homestay Rental in Arnhem? These are the local rules

Just like in many other student cities, Arnhem has a significant housing shortage. Therefor the municipality promotes Homestay Rental. But how does it work? And why would you do it? Let's find out!

Welcome to Arnhem! A city known for its rich history, beautiful parks, and vibrant culture. Arnhem is not only a fantastic place to live, but also an increasingly popular choice for students. Why? Because the city offers a unique mix of culture, nature, and lively city life. Add to that the presence of Hogeschool Arnhem Nijmegen (HAN), HVHL and ArtEZ University of the Arts, and you have a perfect student city.

Just like in many other popular student cities, there is a significant shortage of affordable student housing in Arnhem. More and more Arnhem residents are considering homestay rental (renting out a room in their home). But how does it work exactly? Is it allowed? And why should you do it? Let’s dive in!

Why is Arnhem Such a Great Student City?

Let’s start with why Arnhem is such a great place for students. Arnhem has everything you need: a lively center full of cozy cafes, shops, and nightlife, beautiful parks like Park Sonsbeek, and the Rhine River for relaxation. And let’s not forget the events, such as the annual Sonsbeek Theater Avenue and the Modekwartier, which attracts fashion and design enthusiasts from all over the Netherlands. Moreover, Arnhem is well connected by public transport and centrally located between cities like Nijmegen and Utrecht.

Why Hospitaverhuur in Arnhem is a Smart Choice

So, why should you, as a resident of Arnhem, consider renting out a room in your home to a student? Here are three strong reasons:

Provide a safe home to someone in need

By renting out a room, you directly help reduce the shortage of student housing in Arnhem. This is not only a good deed, but you also ensure that a student has a safe and affordable place to live. This can have a huge impact on their study performance and overall experience in Arnhem.

Broaden your horizon and meet new people

Taking in a student means getting to know new cultures and perspectives. Students often bring stories and experiences from different parts of the world, leading to interesting conversations and enriching your own life. Whether you’re a world traveler or simply curious about other cultures, homestay rental can be a great way to broaden your horizons.

You decide when you rent and to whom (+ you earn some extra money)

Homestay rental is more flexible than regular rental. You decide how many rooms you want to rent out, to how many people, and to whom. Moreover, a homestay rental contract always starts with a trial period of nine months: during that time, you have the right to terminate the contract without giving any reason. And of course, it also offers a great opportunity to generate extra income. This extra income can help cover certain costs or achieve financial goals.

The Rules Regarding Homestay Rental in Arnhem

Now for the serious part: is it allowed to rent out a room in your home in Arnhem? Fortunately, the municipality of Arnhem has rules in place that encourage homestay rental. You can rent out one room in your own home to one person without a permit, both in owner-occupied and (social) rental homes. With a rental home, you should check first if your housing corporation allows it.
