Rental Process:  How to rent a property through Perfect Housing

Perfect Housing works on a no-cure, no-pay basis to help you quickly find a suitable home at the best price. Our structured rental process helps ensure that you are shown only the most relevant properties matching your criteria:

 

Step 1. Registering your interest

When you register with Perfect Housing, the first thing we do is understand your housing requirements. Furnished or not? Close to a metro? How many bedrooms? Parking? The more specific you can be, the more targeted our search is. Our online search engine can provide an idea of the types of properties we have available.

 

Because we have specialist insight into the Dutch market, we can help set your expectations about rental prices and what you can expect for your money. Remember, there are no registration costs at Perfect Housing and we work only on a no-cure, no-pay basis.

 

Step 2. Finding a suitable property

We have more than a thousand properties in our portfolio and have access to all properties registered at other agencies. We work with you to find the best available properties that most closely match your requirements. We ensure that owners are bona fide and that apartments are legal and conform to Dutch regulation.

 

Step 3. Accompanied viewings

We offer flexible and convenient viewing times, including evenings and weekends when necessary. We work when it is convenient for you in order to provide maximum viewing opportunities.

 

Step 4. Negotiation and contractual administration

We facilitate negotiations between you and an owner. We offer advice on negotiable aspects, and help to maximise your deal. Once an agreement has been made, we draw up a detailed and clear rental contract that both parties are required to sign.

 

Step 5. Paying rent and deposit

All tenants are required to make initial rent and deposit payments as agreed in the rental contract before receiving keys to the apartment.

 

Step 6. Checking in

We accompany you to the property to conduct an official check-in. During the check-in we fully inspect the condition of the property and verify that the property contents match the inventory list (provided by the owner). You will be required to sign off on all notes made during the check-in.

 

Step 7. Tenant support services

During your tenancy our Internal Service Desk is available for questions and to help resolve issues. For many of the properties around-the-clock property management services is offered in cooperation with a partner.

 

Step 8. Checking out

We officially check you out of the property at the end your rental period. At check-out, we conduct a comprehensive inventory review and evaluate the condition of the property. We provide the owner with a detailed report of any missing inventory and damages, and will help administer the deposit and settle any disputes.

 

Step 9. Finding a new home

If you decide to move to another rental home within the Netherlands, Perfect Housing can help you search for another suitable property. If you instead decide to buy a home, our sister company, Perfect Real Estate, can help you find a property and guide you through the purchase process.
