How it works

You tell us once. We do the chasing.

Being first and being ready is what wins homes in Amsterdam. We handle both, and tell you straight which places are worth it.

Day 0–2

Brief

A 30-minute call: budget, areas, move-in date, pets, must-haves. You get your search brief in writing.

Day 3–5

Dossier

We check every document a landlord asks for, so you can apply the minute the right place appears.

Day 5–15

Viewings

Listings checked every day, scams filtered out, viewings booked before the crowd. Not here yet? We view for you on video.

~Day 19

Keys

We write the offer, check the lease line by line and walk the key handover with you.

At every viewing

We check what the photos leave out.

Listing photos are taken on the sunniest day, with the windows shut. We look at the things you'd only notice after you've signed.

Damp & mould

Corners, bathroom, behind the furniture.

Light & noise

Which way it faces, the tram, the bar downstairs.

Heating

Glazing, boiler and the energy label.

The stairs

Classic steep Amsterdam stairs, or a lift?

Registration

Can you register at the address? No registration, no BSN.

The real cost

Service costs, deposit (max. 2 months) and what's included.

Pricing

Half what agents charge.

Most rental agents charge a month's rent plus VAT. We charge one fixed price, and most of it only when you sign.

Questions

Good to know.

Is it legal for you to charge me?

Yes. In the Netherlands a landlord's agent can't charge the tenant. HausKey works only for you, the tenant, and never takes a fee from the landlord's side for your home.

I'm not in Amsterdam yet. Can I still rent?

Definitely. We view the home for you on live video or with a friend of yours, and most leases are signed online. Plenty of people get their keys the week they land.

I don't have a BSN yet.

That's normal. Many agents accept an employer statement instead, and we know which ones. Just make sure you can register at the address, because that's how you get your BSN.

How much do I need to earn?

Most landlords want a gross monthly income of about 3 times the rent, some 4 times. A partner's income counts if they sign too. We check this on the first call, before you pay anything more than €99.

How fast does it go?

Most searches take 3 to 4 weeks. Homes on the market now usually start 2 to 4 weeks later, so start about 6 weeks before you need to move in.

Where do you search?

Amsterdam and the commute ring: Amstelveen, Diemen, Haarlem, Zaandam and Purmerend.

What if you don't find anything?

If we can't get you a viewing that fits your brief within 30 days, you get your €99 back. The rest is only due when you sign a lease.

Do you handle my rent or deposit?

No. You pay the landlord or their agent directly, to the account named in the lease, and only after signing.
