The amount of the deposit depends on the rental price. For all of our accommodations the deposit is equal to two months rent.

This deposit remains in the management of the landlord until the tenant has delivered the accommodation after termination of the lease. The landlord will draw up an inspection report during check-in in consultation with the tenant. This report will be reviewed again during check-out.

An inspection report is drawn up during the check-in with the tenant. The report provides the tenant and landlord with clarity about the state of the accommodation upon moving in. Any defects are noted. In addition, photos are also taken of the accommodation. The tenant will receive a copy of the inspection report including photos by email. At check-out, the report will be reviewed with the tenant again.

If you are staying in the Netherlands for more than four months then you need to register with the municipality you are living in (in this case, the city of Rotterdam). For all of our accommodations it is possible for our tenants to register at the address. You can register in person, or online within 5 days of your arrival in the Netherlands. You need to fill in a tenancy agreement, you can find more information on the website of Gemeente Rotterdam.

Upon departing from the address and/or the Netherlands, our tenants need to de-register. We need a proof of your deregistration which you will receive from the municipality, mostly by email. After your check out and when we have received your proof of deregistration we can transfer back the deposit. You can find more information about the deregistration process on the website of Gemeente Rotterdam.

The accommodation must be delivered in the condition it was in at the time of the inception of the rental agreement. This is also drawn up in the inspection report. All personal belongings must be removed and the accommodation must be free of garbage and dust. The tenant is responsible for the end cleaning. The inspection report contains a checklist that must be complied with.
