Financial
As a tenant of an independent living space, you are eligible for rent allowance, depending on the rental price of the studio. For example, housing allowance applies to some studios if you are a student of 23 years or older. In that case, you are entitled to housing benefit for a calculated rent between € 252.33 and € 763.47 per month. Different rules apply to younger students, namely with a rent between € 237.62 and € 442.46 per month. The calculation rent consists of the basic rent plus some service costs. Depending on your situation, you are entitled to a certain amount of allowance. Check the website of the Tax Authorities to make a test calculation.
If you are a Dutch student, a guarantor is allowed. Please note that the guarantor has to be an immediate family member (parents, step-parents, grandparents, brother or sister). If you are an international student, we ask for a deposit of two months’ rent in total.
