Yes, absolutely. We find all rental properties, including those under max limit for rent subsidy (the deregulation limit). For these properties you can apply for a housing subsidy if your income is below the threshold.
Yes, we also find rooms, not only studio’s and apartments. Make sure you include rooms in your search profiles to receive them.
Yes, you can create up to four different search profiles with one account. So you can search in four cities simultaneously, set multiple bedroom and price combinations, or even mix both.
Yes, we do. We also find the social housing of Woningnet Amsterdam, Woonnet Rotterdam, etc. We only send them if you want to receive them. In your RentSlam profile, you can indicate if you want to receive social housing listings or not. However, keep in mind that the average waiting time for a social rental in major cities is over 10 years, so you might as well look for a time machine. Free-sector (or mid-range) rentals from these providers are, of course, very interesting, so you might want to leave it on. We also find properties below the rent subsidy threshold.
Funda and Pararius are great resources with a lot of inventory, but there is still plenty of availability that never appears on these platforms. Also, competition for properties on these platforms is intense since everyone searches there. We actively search over 1,000 websites for properties that match your search profile. We do this literally every 30 seconds, 24/7, which isn’t something you could do manually—only a machine can. RentSlam ensures you get far more properties and can respond much faster.
Pet filters are unnecessary. There’s no law stating that a landlord can prohibit a tenant from having a pet. So even if the landlord isn’t thrilled about your beloved dog, they can’t forbid it. The only exception is if it’s specified in the statutes of the Homeowners Association. You might want to double-check this for peace of mind. Of course, if your pet causes excessive disturbance to neighbours, you may eventually have to leave with your pet, but only after losing a lengthy legal process.
If we could, we’d offer RentSlam for free to everyone. But we work very hard to make RentSlam perform at its best, delivering all available rentals to you as quickly as possible, and the services we use to do so, cost money. Plus, we have this peculiar habit of eating three times a day and also need a roof over our heads to continue providing this great service. And besides, if it were completely free, everyone would use RentSlam, and your advantage of being first to respond would be much smaller. So it’s also in your interest that we ask for a small fee.
This might be the most frequently asked question! The answer depends on the circumstances. Many of our customers find a property within a week, but the average is 6 weeks. The better your search profile matches what’s available on the market, the faster you can rent a house. The main factors that influence how long it takes to find a rental are: 1. “Does your budget align with the rest of your search criteria?” 2. “How quickly do you respond to the listings we send?” 3. “To what extent do you meet the landlord’s requirements?”
No, you can find and rent a property with a RentSlam subscription only! There is no commission to be paid when you rent a place. If you want to increase the amount of listings you receive, you can activate “paid sites” in your search profile. This way, you’ll receive more listings. However, in that case, you must have a subscription with the paid provider to respond to those specific listings.
We scan all reliable rental websites every 30 seconds, 24 hours a day, searching for new rental properties. This means that you no longer need to spend hours a day searching online. All you need to do is check your email or your App messages. And because we do it so fast, you never have to be too late to respond. We also search over 1,000 websites, so we simply find more properties than you could possibly do yourself. Plus, you don’t have to pay us any commission when you rent a house.
