Housing in the Nederlands
-
Although it is not very easy to find a place to live in Amsterdam, there are some possibilities to rent a room or apartment. Renting temporarily is also very common, especially during the summer period.
First you can rent a place through an agency. This option can be quite expensive, because they often ask one month rent as a fee and one or two months rent deposit.
You can also rent a place without using an agency. On Internet there are different housing sites were you can post an ad or react on placed ads. Try the following housing sites:
www.marktplaats.nl
www.woning.pagina.nl
www.huurwoning.nl
www.kamernet.nl
www.woning.org
www.woongalerie.nl
www.funda.nl
www.de-huurwoning.nl
www.viavia.nl
Besides using the Internet you can also publish an ad at the advertisement board at the supermarkets. These advertisements are noticed by lots of people.
And last but not least: Tell everybody that you are looking for a place to live. This might even be the best option of all.24 Feb 2005, 03:31 Anonymous
