My name is Rui Marques, I am Portuguese and 25 years old. I am looking for a studio/apartment/house for me and my girlfriend, Joana Ferreira, Portuguese and also 25 years old.  Both of us are doing our PhD in Cancer Researcher in Portugal, together with the Leiden University Medical Center. Our monthly payment is provided by the Foundation for Science and Technology, which is the government entity in Portugal responsible for paying PhD students. Each of us earns 2218€ per month, with also a first additional income for housing deposits and travel. We can provide the needed documents to prove this. Both of us are well humored, calm, organized and unproblematic people. We both give a lot of importance to a clean, organized and quiet home.We enjoy hanging out and getting to know new places, go on walks and participate in the community around us but also enjoy cozy days at home watching movies and TV shows. I must add that I have already lived in Leiden for 6 months from july to december 2025 (I can also send proof of this and provide contact of my previous landlords ). This gives me already a notion of what it is like living in the Netherlands. Additionally we have 2 small dogs. Well behaved, trained and used to live indoors. Because of that we are open to pay a caution of value that you see fit. To show you we are serious in staying in the Netherlands and that we are able to deal with rental we are open to pay upfront X months of rent (depending on the rent amount). We can move in on the first weeks of March. As we are in Portugal currently we are not able to visit the apartment. If it is possible it would be ideal if we could do the visit via videocall or by sending a friend to see the house for us. We are open to any questions you may have.

We are a working couple, a professor and a scientist at universities. We are 39 and 50 years old. We have no children or pets, and we do not smoke. We are looking for a house/flat for long-term residence.

My gross monthly salary will be €4,700, and I currently have €10,000 in savings and €7,000 in liquid investments, ensuring strong financial stability to secure the rental before starting my employment.

My name is Luciana, 27 years old, born and raised in Mexico but have been living in Amsterdam for about 8 years now. I am a native Spanish speaker, fluent in English and German and a very good understanding of the Dutch language as well, however work in progress on the speaking it part. I am a team manager within the hospitality industry, responsible for the smooth running of the karaoke side in a Japanese inspired private karaoke bar. Have been part of the industry for the last 5 years. For my living area i value a space that looks lived in, while still organised and clean. I enjoy having dinner and/or movie nights with my housemates, yet also enjoy time for myself. I am accustomed to cleaning schedules, shared expenses for household items, and semi-regular “check ins” for house related matters. I am looking for a place with registration and for long term rent. I am a very relaxed person, during the summer i spend my time outside and meeting up with friends, and during winter board/card games and dinner “dates” with my friend group. When i go out, it’s just for drinks and chatting as i am not a big enjoyer of loud crowded spaces, or hitting the movies or the theatre. I hope to have sparked some curiosity, and I look forward to hearing back from you!

Hey, afgelopen september ben ik begonnen aan de opleiding fysiotherapie hier in enschede. Ik woon hier nu ook, alleen ben ik momenteel opzoek naar een iets gezelliger en levendiger huis met leuke mensen. Iets over mezelf is dat ik hou van sport (zit net bij de triathlon studenten sportvereniging hier), afspreken met vriendinnen en spelletjes spelen. Ook ben ik vaak wel in voor een drankje:)

Hello there! I’m from France, and I am a PhD student at TU Delft. I am currently looking for a nice and cosy flat that will bring me support and de la joie de vivre for this huge undertaking! My doctorate topic is about the application of artificial intelligence in maritime traffic. In addition, I play music (drums, guitar and bass), love role play games, hiking, and badminton. I am flexible about the visit, as I can organize my working hours as I wish. I have a salary of €3059/month (gross) and a guarantor (my father). Thank you for reading, and I hope I will be your next companion.

Hoi, Ik ben Matthijs (18 (bijna 19)) en studeer natuurlijk in Utrecht en zit daarbij in mijn eerste jaar. Ik doe de studie Informatiekunde en werk ook nog. Ik houd ervan om te gymmen, maar ook wel is de week te breken met een biertje met vrienden of een festivalletje. Een grote inkomstenbron is ook DUO, waar ik uitwonend rond de 650 euro krijg. Ik heb al 2 maanden in me eentje gewoond in Amersfoort, waar ik nu ook nog woon en ben ook wel netjes en schoon zou ik zelf zeggen (en m’n moeder ook). Het lijkt me heel leuk om dan toch echt het studentenleven in Utrecht mee te maken en er ook echt te wonen!

Hii! My name is Lamis, I’m a 25 year old Master’s student in Life Sciences. I’ll be moving to the Netherlands for a 9 month research internship at LUMC in Leiden starting February 2026. I’m calm, clean, and respectful of shared spaces. I don’t smoke, don’t have pets, and I’m used to living with other students. In my free time (even though I don’t have much of it with my studies 😅), I enjoy spending time with friends, cooking, and watching series.

Ik ben een jongen van 26. Ik ben spontaan, creatief en een sociaal persoon met VWO denkniveau. Ik werk nu ruim een jaar stabiel bij een biologische supermarkt, waar ik intussen meedraai met het leidinggevende personeel en medeverantwoordelijkheid draag voor bestellingen, openen en sluiten van kassa en pand. Ik ga niet zo vaak op vakantie en geef ook niet snel huisfeesten ook niet voor mijn verjaardag. Ik wil carrière maken in het sociaal/ welzijn domein. Ik doe nu naast mijn baan sinds 3 jaar regelmatig vrijwilligerswerk bij een bepaalde gemeenschapstuin waar ik me erg thuis voel. In de tijd dat ik daar regelmatig kom heb ik mijzelf kunnen ontplooien en persoonlijke groei kunnen meemaken. Ik hou ervan om mijn tijd structureel invulling te geven waarbij een goeie afwisseling heb van werk, familie en vrienden zien, hobby's beoefenen en vrijwilligerswerk doen. Ik maak niet veel geluidsoverlast vanwege dat ik nagenoeg geen feestjes thuis organiseer. Ik woon al 5 jaar lang in een studentenflat en heb daar prima zelfstandig heb geleefd. Verder heb ik goeie communicatieve vaardigheden en ben ik door familie, mijn vriendin, school ervaringen, werk en een gemeenschap goed gesocialiseerd waarbij een balans tussen eigen behoeftes en die van andere goed is geoefend.
