For private landlords with one or more rooms, studios or homes they don’t live in themselves. You list for free with 80,000+ home seekers, receive responses from candidates who match your criteria, and arrange introductions, contract and deposit yourself, digitally on our platform. We help you set the right match criteria and are reachable whenever you need us.
A room in a home you don’t live in yourself, with a shared kitchen and bathroom. From a single room to a whole student house.
Self-contained living space with its own kitchen and bathroom. A converted garage, attic floor or garden house with its own entrance counts too.
A home you rent out as a whole to one tenant, a couple or a group of housemates.
Going abroad for a while? You can rent out your home temporarily with a diplomat clause, so you know for certain you can move back in afterwards.
Landlord handing the keys to a new tenant
Your listing is free and reaches 80,000+ home seekers: students, starters, internationals, working people and couples. Together we set the match criteria, so the responses you get come from candidates who suit your space and your conditions.
Candidates who fit respond through the platform. You look at their profile, chat with them and plan an introduction yourself. You choose who you rent out to.
A tenancy agreement for an indefinite or a fixed term, matched to the living space and the rules. Drawing it up, adjusting it and signing it all happens digitally on our platform. Prefer to work with your own contract? That is possible too: you simply upload it to our platform and still sign it digitally.
The deposit is paid and held through Hospi Housing. Your dashboard shows whether it has come in before the tenancy starts, so you begin with clear agreements.
Questions about the rules, a tenant moving out or something going differently than agreed: you can always reach us, from the intake to the end of the tenancy.
Municipalities, housing corporations, universities of applied sciences and universities refer their home seekers to Hospi Housing. That is why you find a suitable tenant for almost any space, from a room in a student house to a family home.
Dutch and international students and starters
Working tenants with a steady income, and couples
Tell us what you are renting out and from when. At the intake we look at what is allowed at your address and what a realistic rent is.
Candidates who match your criteria respond to your listing. You chat with them through the platform and choose for yourself who you invite for an introduction.
You draw up the contract and sign digitally on our platform, the deposit is paid through us and your dashboard shows the status. After that we stay reachable.
The rules for renting out have changed in recent years. These are the main points; at the intake we go through them with you for your address.
Last updated on 16 October 2026. We update these points as soon as the rules change.
Since 1 January 2025 every new tenancy agreement comes with a points calculation (WWS). Up to and including 186 points the rent is regulated and capped; above that you are in the free sector. We work out with you what you may ask for your space.
Since 1 July 2024 a tenancy agreement for an indefinite term is the norm. Renting out temporarily is still possible in specific situations, for instance to students who study in the Netherlands or in another city temporarily, or with a diplomat clause while you are away yourself. We advise which contract fits.
If you rent out a home room by room to three or more people, many municipalities require a conversion permit. Some municipalities also require a landlord permit. We know what applies at your address.
Since 2023 national rules of conduct apply to landlords: a written contract, clear information for the tenant, a deposit of at most two months’ basic rent and no discrimination in selecting a tenant. Our process meets them as standard.
A home or room that is not your main residence usually falls under box 3; the room rental exemption only applies to a room in the home you live in yourself. Get advice if in doubt; we think along about the set-up.
Nothing. Listing, matching and the contract are free for private landlords and we charge no commission on the rent.
That depends on the space, the rent and the city. Because municipalities, corporations and educational institutions refer their home seekers to us, most landlords get their first responses quickly. At the intake we give an honest estimate for your space.
Home seekers have a profile with who they are, what they do and what they are looking for. At the intake we help you set the match criteria, so the responses suit your space and your conditions. After that you look at the profiles, chat with candidates and choose for yourself who you rent out to.
Yes. You can choose our contract, which matches the living space and the rules, or use your own: you simply upload it to our platform and still sign it digitally. Either way you also arrange the deposit through the platform.
The deposit is at most two months’ basic rent and is paid and held through Hospi Housing. Your dashboard shows whether the deposit has come in before the tenant gets the keys.
With the points system (WWS). It is compulsory for every new contract; up to and including 186 points a maximum rent applies, above that the rent is free. At the intake we work out with you what you may ask.
In specific situations, yes: for instance with a diplomat clause while you are abroad temporarily, or to students who study in the Netherlands temporarily. We advise which contract type fits your situation.
For anything from a handful of homes to hundreds of units we have a separate approach with dedicated guidance, management and matching for the whole portfolio. See professional rental.
