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

Mijn naam is Eleana, ik ben 18 jaar, kom uit Den Bosch en begin komende september met de studie Rechtsgeleerdheid aan de UU. Na een jaar reizen heb ik veel zin om mijn leventje in Utrecht op te gaan bouwen en ben ik dus op zoek naar een kamer. Wie ben ik? Ik ben makkelijk in de omgang, houd van een goed feestje en mijn deur staat altijd open om te kletsen. Ik ben vrolijk en sportief en heb veel hobby’s zoals zeilen, surfen, skateboarden en dansen! 💃🏽 Daarnaast ben ik al vaak in Utrecht en heb ik al een tijd op mezelf gewoond in Oostenrijk toen ik daar skilessen gaf. Ook ben ik eerstejaars bij Triton.

Dear sir/madam, My name is Shimwa, and I’m currently based in Amsterdam. I’m reaching out to express my interest in securing accommodation in your property. I’m a responsible and tidy individual with a calm lifestyle, and I value a peaceful and well-maintained living environment. I’m looking for a place that offers comfort, good access to public transport, and ideally a welcoming community. I’d be happy to provide references or any additional information you might need. Please let me know if the accommodation is still available and what the next steps would be. I look forward to hearing from you. Warm regards, Shimwa

Hoi, ik ben net begonnen met de academische pabo in Leiden. In november wordt ik 18. Ik houd van actief zijn, en surf, zeil en hardloop dan ook graag. Ook houd ik van creatief zijn en speel ik meerdere instrumenten. Ik zoek een kamer in Leiden of omgeving, voor mijzelf of met gezellige huisgenoten.

Hello! My name is Levin. I'm a 30 years old German MA Fine Arts student with a part-time job in programming.

Hi, my name is Leonardo. I'm a 27 years old working male. My budget is € 900 p/mnd and I would like to move immediately

Hi, We’re Charlotta and Sam – a Swedish/Australian couple who’ve been happily calling the Netherlands home for the past three years. Charlotta (37) works as a Regional Director for a Dutch fintech company, and Samuel (33) plays rugby professionally while also running his own staffing business. Outside of work, we’re active and love the outdoors – skiing, sailing, hiking, and everything in between. For the past few years, we’ve enjoyed living in a lovely house, but as our landlord has decided to renovate, we’re now looking for a new place to call home. We’re flexible with short- or long-term rentals and open to both furnished and unfurnished options. We know first-hand how important it is to be respectful and reliable tenants and to maintain good landlord-tenant relationships, as we’re renting out our own home in Sydney while living here. We’re happy to provide any supporting documentation you may need, such as proof of income, payslips, employer statements, or references. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Charlotta & Sam

Hi, my name is Matheus. I'm a 39 years old working male. My budget is € 6000 p/mnd and I would like to move immediately

Hi! My name is Caterina, I’m 22 years old and I’m from Italy. I moved to the Netherlands about a month ago to start a Master’s degree at Utrecht University. I would describe myself as a cheerful, easy-going and open-minded person. I really enjoy spending time with others, for example cooking, dinners, or playing board games, but I also value my own space and I’m very independent. Sometimes I also like going to the gym or doing some physical activity! At the moment I’m temporarily living with a host family in Nieuwegein, but I would really love to move closer to Utrecht, both for convenience with the university and because I’ve always dreamed of living in a student house. I’m looking forward to finding a cozy place to call home and nice people to share it with!

Hi, I am 29 years old and looking for a room for myself. I am a reliable and quiet tenant – I do not smoke, do not drink, do not have pets and I like cleanliness and order. In my free time I like to play sports, exercise, meditate, travel and self-education. I am looking for a quiet and pleasant place to live, where I can settle down for the long term.

Hallo! Ik ben William, 19 jaar en begin dit komend jaar beginnen aan mijn tweede jaar Werktuigbouwkunde op het TU/e. Ik ben over het algemeen vrij rustig en netjes, maar ben zeker niet tegen wat gezelligheid! In mijn vrije tijd ben ik graag creatief bezig, of dat nu een kunstproject is of iets technisch. Daarnaast spreek ik graag af met vrienden voor een ontspannen avondje. Ik ben op zoek naar een appartement of een studio in Eindhoven of omgeving, het liefst met genoeg privacy om goed te kunnen studeren.

Hi, my name is Taras. I'm a 21 years old working male. My budget is € 6000 p/mnd and I would like to move immediately

Hello! My name is Fatma, I’m 24 years old and coming to the Netherlands for an Erasmus internship. I’ll stay from the end of August until the end of October. I’m tidy, respectful, and easy-going. I enjoy theatre, arts, traveling and discovering new places. I’m looking for a comfortable and friendly place to stay during my internship.

Mijn naam is Simas en samen met mijn vrouw zijn we op zoek naar een rustig en goed onderhouden appartement om te huren in Nederland. Wij zijn een getrouwd stel uit Litouwen – verantwoordelijk, professioneel en respectvol voor de ruimtes waarin we wonen. Ik werk als elektrotechnisch ontwerper in de maritieme en industriële sector, terwijl mijn vrouw een masterdiploma microbiologie heeft en in de life sciences werkt. We zijn twee jaar getrouwd, hebben geen kinderen en plannen er ook geen in de nabije toekomst. We leiden een rustige levensstijl, genieten van de natuur, sport, reizen en het verkennen van nieuwe plekken. We zijn geen feestgangers, gebruiken geen drugs en hechten waarde aan een schone en rustige woonomgeving. We bezitten ook een appartement dat we binnenkort gaan verhuren, dus we begrijpen echt hoe belangrijk het is om respect te hebben voor andermans eigendom en er zorgvuldig mee om te gaan. U kunt erop rekenen dat wij betrouwbare huurders zijn die op tijd betalen, duidelijk communiceren en de woning in uitstekende staat houden.

I am looking for a room or apartment in Utrecht (or nearby) starting in November. I will begin my PhD at Utrecht University, where I will also be employed and paid by the university. I am a pescatarian, clean, organized, and respectful of shared spaces. I have lived in shared apartments for the past three years in Sweden during my studies, so I am well used to and comfortable with communal living. Outside of work and studies, I enjoy cooking, reading, and sports. I am responsible with rent and value a quiet but friendly home atmosphere. Looking forward to finding a nice place to stay and to hearing from you! Best regards, Manzoor

I’m Karo from Munich, Germany, and I’ve been doing my Master’s in Applied Cognitive Psychology at Utrecht University since September. My current landlord is selling the house I’m living in with four other Dutch roommates at the end of the year, so I’m on the lookout for a new place :)   🏠 Let me introduce myself a bit ◡̈ Alongside my Master’s in Psychology, I also work remotely for a company in Germany, which makes my everyday life quite busy 🫠 🎿 My biggest passion is doing sports, mostly outdoor - especially skiing, road cycling, volleyball, and surfing (Sadly, no mountains here in the Netherlands 😄) 🧶 But I also have a creative side, which I express through knitting and crocheting. That means you can expect me to proudly show off at least one new creation every month 😄   I’ve got a of experience living in shared flats, including six months in Spain, so I know how important it is that everyone is responsible and respectful (including with cleaning duties) and that the flat feels like home. 🍝 That includes cooking and game nights, and maybe even some second-hand shopping or sports together but of course that’s no must, the main thing is that everyone feels comfortable 😊   I’d really love to meet you and see if I’d be a good fit! 🫶🏼   Groetjes,
 Karo <3
