Hi, I’m Patricia, 25. I’m an art student and I work part time at the Moco Museum. I’ve lived in Amsterdam for five years now, I’m originally from Finland and moved here for studies, but after graduating from the university with a bachelors in Media and Culture two years ago I was still so in love with this city I decided to stay indefinitely and now I just started studying again at the Rietveld Art academy. In my free time I enjoy going for runs and walks, making art (I mainly draw and do digital art), cooking elaborate meals and watching good movies. I like to be out of the house quite a bit and have a busy schedule with work and school, so as a flatmate I can be absent quite a lot during the day (that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like to get to know and possibly become friends the person I live with!). As a person I am very extroverted and can be a real chatter box, but I find that when I am home I am the opposite. For me the house is a place to relax and recharge. My ideal flatmate would be someone who respects my privacy and need for alone time, but also someone who I could laugh and chat with now and again. I’m currently urgently looking for a place because the flat I live in right now is intolerable. I trusted the wrong landlord a couple months back and I am now living in a dirty, overcrowded and unsafe place where I can’t eat, sleep or shower properly. I would preferably move out as soon as possible. I am looking for a place with registration and I’d like to settle for at least a year.

Hoi allemaal! Ik ben Wouter, 20 jaar oud en kom uit Wageningen. Op dit moment studeer ik Ondernemerschap & Retail Management aan de HAN in Nijmegen. Voor mijn minor ga ik na de zomer tijdelijk verhuizen naar Enschede en daarom ben ik op zoek naar een leuke kamer! (Periode 1 sept - eind jan) Ik ben op zoek naar een gezellig huis die ook samen activiteiten onderneemt. Ik hou van een lekker biertje en om samen de stad in te gaan. :) Verder hou ik veel van reizen en heb ik een tijd op volleybal gezeten, het lijkt me leuk om dat weer op te pakken als ik in Enschede ben. Ik kom graag een keer kennis maken, hopelijk tot snel!

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

I am Eliot, I am a 29 years old, I work as a Postdoctoral Researcher of Astronomy at the University of Amsterdam, and my monthly income is €4241. I moved to Amsterdam recently (currently living in temporary University housing) and am looking to rent an apartment for the remainder of my 2 year contract at UvA. I am single with no pets (I love cats), no smoking or drinking, and no car. I am a responsible, reliable, clean, and quiet tenant that is mostly a nerd and homebody. I cook/bake, play piano (digital with headphones), and play some video games (also with headphones). I also like art and I listen to modern instrumental music. I mostly keep to myself (I do have social skills and a sense of humor, don't worry) and am looking for a clean place with similarly chill roommates. I speak English, and am currently learning Dutch.

Hallo! Ik ben Liselotte, 24 jaar oud en net begonnen met een fulltime baan. Ik moet helaas mijn studentenkamer verlaten en dus ben ik op zoek naar een nieuw gezellig stekkie. Momenteel woon ik met 13 anderen, wat ik heel gezellig vind. Om deze reden zoek ik ook weer een huis wat ik kan delen met anderen. Ik hoop dat jij er ook naar uitkijkt om mij en mijn 12 planten te ontmoeten! Hopelijk tot snel. Groetjes, Liselotte
