Here you can find the most important things you should know about housing when living and studying in the Netherlands.
Is there a housing shortage in Maastricht?
It is important to note that the housing market in Maastricht is extremely busy, particularly in the period between July-September. Due to this, we cannot emphasise enough that students should start their search for accommodation early. This means that those beginning their studies in the fall semester should begin to think about their housing situation, informing themselves and checking out their options already in April. For those beginning their studies in the spring semester, your house search start date should be in November.
This section is essential in the process. We’ll answer the most relevant questions and address the most important issues, such as:
- Where should I start my search for a room or apartment?
- What are my rights and obligations as a tenant?
- What monthly bills can I expect to pay?
- Where can I go for legal advice?
- How do I let the local council know that I moved house?
- How does the garbage disposal system work?
…and more!
