Who is Hospi Housing for?

Hospi Housing brings two worlds together: people with housing to spare and people who are looking for a place. One helps the other to a home, and builds a new connection along the way. Offering housing or searching for it, below you'll find out whether Hospi Housing is right for you.

For hosts and landlords with housing to spare

Do you have space to spare? Then you're in the right place. And it doesn't have to be a permanent room in your home. Maybe you're going travelling for a while and want to sublet your room temporarily. Maybe you have a second property you'd like to rent out. Or perhaps you manage several properties as a landlord or housing corporation and are looking for reliable tenants. It can all be arranged through Hospi Housing.

Most people start with us as a host: someone who rents out a room in their own home. And our hosts are just as diverse as our tenants:

• Singles who could use some company and want to earn a bit extra
• Seniors with empty children's rooms that deserve a new purpose
• Families who want to make an extra room available
• Landlords and housing corporations who want to list their supply on a platform that stays involved
• Anyone with housing to spare who wants to make a difference in the housing crisis

As a host, you can earn up to €6,633 per year tax-free thanks to the room rental exemption (kamerverhuurvrijstelling). And you contribute to solving the Netherlands' biggest housing problem.

For tenants looking for housing

The housing market is tight. We know that too. That's why we offer an alternative that actually works, and one that's often more affordable as well. Rooms on Hospi Housing are on average €150 a month cheaper than comparable listings, and in some cities that difference rises to as much as €300 a month. Hospi Housing is there for, among others:

• Students looking for an affordable room in their university city
• Starters who can't quite get onto the housing market yet
• Expats and internationals who are new to the Netherlands and need a safe home quickly
• People after a divorce or separation who need a new place to live at short notice
• Refugees with residence permits looking for stable housing
• Anyone looking for an affordable, verified place with a real host

With over 5,000 active hosts and landlords and a growing supply across the Netherlands, there's a good chance we'll find a match for you.

For municipalities and partners

Municipalities, housing corporations, and social organizations find a partner in us too. Want to use hospita rental to tackle the housing crisis? We'll help you on your way, from a first pilot to rolling out hospita rental across your organization or region.

And we take care of it from start to finish: we help set up the communication, deliver quantitative and qualitative insights, and make sure extra housing is genuinely created. That way, you make measurable impact with hospita rental and home-sharing. Read more in our partner section.

Living across the border?

Our focus is on the Netherlands, but you can come to us from beyond it too. Hospi Housing is active in several places across Europe, including Belgium, Germany, France and Spain. Living just across the border, or looking for a place there? Then Hospi Housing is the right address for you as well.
