Legally YES, however, it varies whether landlords allow pets in rental properties in Amsterdam. This depends on the landlord; some allow pets, others do not. Officially though, it is only forbidden when specifically stated in the statutes of the community of owners.
Yes, we also find rooms, not only studio’s and apartments. Make sure you include rooms in your search profiles to receive them.
It’s frustrating that some landlords don’t want to rent to students. But the good news is that with perseverance, a bit of creativity, and some help, you can definitely find a place. Many students have found a rental through RentSlam. You just have to go a bit further than others. Consider having a guarantor, sharing with other students, or involving your parents, for example.
Some sites require payment to respond to their listings. We’ve chosen to include these listings, because for most renters, “the more listings, the better”. But you can easily turn them off in your search profiles. Then you’ll only receive listings where you don’t need to pay to respond.
Being location-independent is a big advantage. We have a radius filter that you can set in your search profile. This way, you receive all properties within the specified kilometer radius. Note: the radius is measured from the center of the selected city, so for a large city, you may need to set a larger radius to include areas outside the city.
That’s understandable! We listened to your feedback and developed a filter for income requirements. If this is clearly stated in an ad, we’ll still send the listing but clearly mark it so you know that the income doesn’t match. Like this, you don’t have to waste your time in applying. This feature is in BETA.
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.
Yes, it’s frustrating! But don’t give up, because this isn’t the case with all properties. Housing corporations often require three times the rent as gross salary. With private landlords or real estate agents, it’s usually more flexible. Unfortunately, we can’t control this, and we find it just as frustrating as you do.
You’re not blind – this option isn’t available yet. Often, this information isn’t specified in the right way, so we don’t want you to miss out on any good listings because of bad information. But I promise we’re working on it.
