Ik ben Tjarda (28), werk als PhD-kandidaat sinds kort in Amsterdam, waar ik onderzoek doe naar taakstraffen. Kortom: dol op lezen en leren/me ergens in verdiepen :) Ik ben verder een rustig persoon, maar hou ook erg van praatjes maken en een gemoedelijke sfeer in huis. Verder hou ik van volleyballen, hardlopen, bergen, dieren, leuke dingen ondernemen met vrienden, etc.

To whom it may concern, Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my request. I am writing on behalf of both myself and my partner. We are a couple — I am a 26-year-old Spanish man, and my girlfriend is a 21-year-old French woman. We are currently working in Crete for the summer season. We are now actively preparing our move to Amsterdam, where we hope to settle and work in the hospitality or general services sector. We are highly motivated to build a stable life there. Both of us already have appointments scheduled for our BSN numbers on the 12th of November. Although it is more challenging to secure accommodation without already living in Amsterdam, we have organized ourselves carefully and are actively looking. By the end of our current contracts, we will have enough savings to cover all initial housing costs: security deposit, first month’s rent, and basic living expenses. We are confident that once settled in Amsterdam, we will find employment within a short period of time — based on our research and prior experience, likely within the first couple of weeks. We also have parental support and guarantors. For instance, my girlfriend’s mother is employed and owns her home outright (without a mortgage). This gives us additional security as we transition to life in the Netherlands. We completely understand that our current situation might raise some questions, especially considering our young age and the fact that we’re moving from abroad. However, we want to assure you that we are serious, responsible, and reliable. This move is not a temporary adventure — it is a step toward building a better and more stable future. In the past, I have lived in Madrid, and my girlfriend has lived in Paris. We both understand what it means to live in a capital city — to be independent, organized, and respectful of our responsibilities. This would be our first home in the Netherlands, and we are fully committed to taking good care of it. We would be truly grateful for the opportunity to rent your apartment. If needed, we are happy to provide any additional documents or references that might help support our application. We would also be very happy to schedule a phone or video call with you at your convenience, to personally introduce ourselves and answer any questions — and to reassure you of our motivation and reliability. Thank you again for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Abel & Léa

Hoi! Ik ben Mila :) Ik ben bezig met de laatste fase van mijn bachelor archeologie aan de RUG. Als alles goed gaat, begin ik in februari aan de onderzoeksmaster archeologie. Ik ben naast mijn studie actief als bestuurslid van de studievereniging en ik werk bij de RUG als onderzoeksassistent, wat vooral inhoudt dat ik één dag per week kelders opruim. In mijn vrije tijd kijk ik veel films, bij voorkeur in het Forum, speel ik wat gitaar of ben ik aan het haken. Daarnaast ben ik opgegroeid in Friesland en spreek ik ook graag Fries!

Mijn naam is Lotte en ik ben opzoek naar een leuke nieuwe kamer in de stad waar ik ondertussen al 2,5 jaar woon. Door veel leuke vrienden, werk en hockey is Nijmegen al zeker een thuis voor mij. Ik studeer Zorg en Veiligheid op de Avans in Den-Bosch. Daar leer ik werken met mensen met complexe problematiek zoals mensen in de verslavingszorg, gevangenis of psychiatrie. Ik vind het leuk om te sporten en doe dat ook graag! Zelf hockey bij NMHC  en pak ik graag mijn surfplank om te gaan surfen. In de zomervakanties werk ik meestal op surfkampen of neem ik het vliegtuig om een nieuwe plek van de wereld te ontdekken. Zelf ben ik ben opzoek naar een leuk, gezellig en warm huis waar ik mijn eigen plekje heb en ik mijn eigen ding kan doen, maar waar ze het ook leuk vinden om soms samen te eten of lekker te borrelen.

Dear Agent, I hope you're doing well. I’m very interested in the property. The location and setup seem ideal for me, and I would truly appreciate the opportunity to visit the place in person. A bit about me: I’m currently working for a well-established international company and I’m moving to be closer to my workplace. I’m financially stable and fully able to cover the rent. I’m looking for a place where the atmosphere is calm, clean, and friendly — I don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or use drugs, and I don’t have pets. I also value mutual respect with housemates and prefer homes where people keep things tidy and relaxed, without loud hobbies or parties. Ideally, I would like to stay long term or indefinitely, and I would appreciate the possibility to register at the address. I’m available to move in either immediately or from November — whichever works best for you. If you think I could be a good fit for the house, I’d love to arrange a viewing at your convenience. Please let me know if you’d like me to share any further information. Best regards, Arevik

Hoi! I'm currently looking for a place to stay around Wageningen area, since I moved to pursue a master’s in Nutrition and Health. Ideally I look for a quiet and chill place. I speak Portuguese, Spanish, English, a bit of French and I'm currently learning Dutch!

Hi, I am Jan-Willem, a 23-year-old from Munich, Germany. Starting this fall, I will begin my Master's in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Amsterdam. I plan to stay in Amsterdam for at least two years and am currently looking for a calm and reliable place to live. I am a sporty and open-minded person — I play soccer, go to the gym, and am also very passionate about science, literature, and history. I enjoy focused studying but also value a balanced and healthy lifestyle. I receive financial support from my parents, who can vouch for my financial reliability if needed. During my Bachelor’s in Heidelberg, I lived in shared student housing the entire time, so I’m experienced with both the responsibilities and the enjoyment of shared living. I am tidy, respectful, and used to keeping common spaces clean. Although I don’t speak Dutch yet, I will start learning right after my arrival. I have Dutch roots, and my grandparents only spoke Dutch with me growing up — so I understand it perfectly. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best regards, Jan-Willem

Ik ben Madde (V29) en ik verhuis naar Utrecht voor mijn stage in de landschapsarchitectuur. Ik werk van negen tot vijf op mijn stage, en in mijn vrije tijd dans ik graag (ik hou van West Coast Swing! <3), ben ik graag in de natuur en doe ik allerlei creatieve dingen, zoals tekenen en breien. Ik hou ook van gezelligheid, koken en samen eten. Ik ben vriendelijk en sociaal, en mijn droom is om met leuke en gezellige huisgenoten samen te wonen.

I'm an Australian PhD Student studying physics at TU Delft, and I'm looking for a room in Delft to move into by the start of September. I like to have my own personal schedule but would definitely attend occasional social events if these are on offer. My native language is English but I am learning Dutch as well (although I am still a beginner). Besides my PhD, I love to make music: I sing in a choir and have an electric piano (although I of course am respectful about making too much noise). Let me know if there's anything else I can tell you about myself!

Hi, I'm Nicole! I'm a 22-year-old university graduate starting a traineeship in September, and I'm looking for a place in Amsterdam to kick off this new era of my life. I moved to the Netherlands in 2021 for university and lived in Maastricht before coming to Amsterdam. I have four years of experience living in all different sorts of house-sharing situations, so I know how to share a space and prioritise good communication :) I speak English, Spanish, and a bit of Dutch (A1). I'm sociable, clean, and like a good mix of spending time outside and cosy nights in the flat!

Hello! My name is Ulysse, 30 years old, from France. I recently started a job as a researcher at the Vrije Universiteit, and I was previously living in Paris. I currently live in Amstelveen, and I am looking for a long-term rental here (I am currently on a short term rental). I am quiet, social, clean, and I do not smoke. I am looking for a room in a shared flat, or a studio, in the Amsterdam area.

Dear landlord, I'm Alyona, a 29 years old Russian woman who's been living in Barcelona almost her whole life, then moved to Dublin for 3 years and now I'm here in Amsterdam since July 2025. I'm really interested to see this apartment. I'm working full time in Bershka at the moment, but I'm looking for jobs in marketing at the same time. I'm also taking some hip hop classes and going to the gym during the week. I love meeting new people and sharing thoughts about music, cinema, sport, fashion and life. But don't expect me to be very friendly until I had my breakfast. I'm not really a morning person. I'm a really tidy person, I'm usually the one in charge of keeping the house clean. Even though I usually leave my clothes on top of a chair, not every bit can be organized hahaha The worst chore for me is washing the dishes. I prefer doing the bathroom, but life is life. I would like to arrange a day to visit the house and to talk about the monthly payment I would have to make. As well as the entry payment and how long I can stay here. If you want to know anything else about me, let me know. Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes, Alyona
