When you want to rent a house, you can do so through social rent or free sector rent. There are rules attached to social renting so that people with lower incomes can also live in the Netherlands. In particular, housing corporations rent out social housing. MVA/NVM brokers specialize in mediating free sector rental properties in the Amsterdam metropolitan area.
Renting a house through the free sector means that someone else or a company bought the house and rents it to people like you. The owner of the house gets to decide how high the rent will be. The owner can also set their own terms for the rent such as the maximum length of the lease, the number of tenants and keeping pets. Therefore, it is wise to orient yourself well on the market to determine which property is most suitable for you and under what conditions.
The scope of work of a real estate agent extends beyond buying or selling houses. Engaging a real estate agent is also a wise choice when finding a rental property. Your real estate agent can advise you on which type of house and which neighborhood suits you best. Together you will also look at what is a realistic rent you can pay monthly. Next, the real estate agent will start looking for a rental home for you that suits your needs and requirements. When he or she has found a suitable house, your broker will arrange the viewing, the negotiation, he or she will inspect the house and check the rental agreement.
So even when you want to rent a house, the MVA/NVM broker is the partner you can rely on!
