I’m Cristina, 25 years old, and I’ve been living in Amsterdamfor a while now. I work full-time in digital marketing as a team lead at an agency, and besides that I also run my own jewelry art studio at Treehouse NDSM. Most of my free time somehow ends up in the studio making jewelry or metal sculptures, which I genuinely love. I’d say I’m a very open-minded, friendly, and easygoing person. I like having a warm and comfortable home atmosphere, where everyone feels relaxed and at ease. Outside of work, I’m into cooking, dinners with friends, jazz music, and all the small cozy things that make a place feel like home. I’m also a very tidy person and I genuinely like cleanliness — to the point where I actually clean when I’m stressed, which I guess is not the worst coping mechanism to have 😅 I’m respectful of shared spaces and pretty mindful of the people I live with. At the moment I’m living with two guys already, so I’m very used to shared living and different personalities around the house. I’m social and happy to chat from time to time, but I also really respect personal space and everyone having their own routine.

Ik ben Charlotte, aankomende student Civiele Techniek aan de TU Delft. Net eind-examen gedaan bij Johan de Witt gymnasium in Dordrecht en ik kijk er naar uit om op kamers te gaan in Delft in Augustus. Ik denk er ook aan om bij Virgiel lid te worden. Zelfstandig, vrolijk, sociaal, sportief (hockey), gedisciplineerd en ik kan goed koken. Ik neem geen muziekinstrument mee ;-)

I am a 24 year old woman from Helsinki, Finland. I am moving to the Netherlands to study Master of Laws in International and Transnational Law at the University of Amsterdam. In my free time I like to go to the gym and hang out with friends. I would love to be friends with my future roommates, while still keeping the home a peaceful place. As a tenant I am tidy and respecful, and I already have experience in living abroad alone. I do not smoke. Ideally I am searching for a one year rental contract, but I am flexible regarding the duration of the contract.

I'm studying creative technology at the VU starting in September. I have a lot of hobbies but the biggest one is music. I make music with some close friends and it's something I'm very proud of. I like being organized, clean, and care about my space. I am also a good listener and enjoy learning things about people especially if you have great energy!!

Geachte heer/mevrouw, Met deze brief wil ik graag mijn interesse kenbaar maken voor de huurwoning. Mijn naam is Henk. Inmiddels ben ik al ruim 20 jaar zelfstandig ondernemer als stukadoor. Gedurende deze jaren heb ik een stabiel bedrijf opgebouwd met een betrouwbaar en consistent inkomen. Ik ben financieel verantwoordelijk en kom mijn verplichtingen altijd zorgvuldig na. Recent ben ik gescheiden, waardoor ik op zoek ben naar een nieuwe woning waar ik een rustige en stabiele basis kan opbouwen. Ik zoek een woning voor de langere termijn, waar ik een prettig thuis van kan maken en mijn leven opnieuw kan vormgeven. Daarnaast komen mijn kinderen( jong volwassen) regelmatig bij mij op bezoek. Een fijne en stabiele woonomgeving is daarom voor mij extra belangrijk. Ik hecht veel waarde aan rust, netheid en een goede leefomgeving. Als huurder ben ik betrouwbaar, netjes en zorgvuldig. Ik zal de woning goed onderhouden en respectvol omgaan met de omgeving en mijn eventuele buren. Een goede verstandhouding met de verhuurder vind ik vanzelfsprekend. Ik hoop dat u mij als geschikte kandidaat wilt overwegen. Indien gewenst kan ik aanvullende informatie verstrekken, zoals jaarcijfers, inkomensgegevens of andere relevante documenten. Hartelijk dank voor uw tijd en overweging. Ik zie uw reactie met belangstelling tegemoet. Met vriendelijke groet,

Hi, I’m Anthony – an arts educator, musician, and photographer currently relocating from Prague back to Amsterdam, which has long been a primary source of inspiration for my work. For over a decade, I taught at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and I continue to work independently on creative and educational projects. These days, my focus is on a long-term book project that combines my writing and photography. Because of this, I’m looking for a peaceful, light-filled studio or apartment that can serve as a stable, quiet home base. I’m an EU citizen and already have my BSN from my previous time in the Netherlands, so I’m in a position to settle in and get started without any administrative delays. I’m a quiet, tidy, and reliable tenant, and with a background in design and architecture, I have a deep respect for living spaces and naturally tend to leave a home in even better condition than I found it. Also, I’m happy to provide references and proof of finances if you need them. All the best, Anthony

Hi! I'm Nisha, an international student at the University of Amsterdam, currently doing my internship in Amsterdam along with my Thesis. I'm a calm, tidy and respectful tenant. I don't smoke, don't drink, and keep to myself — no parties, no groups coming over. I value a quiet and peaceful living environment and always clean up after myself. I've rented before and have always maintained a good relationship with my landlords and taken good care of the property. I'm looking for a stable, long-term place where I can focus on my studies and work in a comfortable, peaceful setting.

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

Hello! My name is Mikołaj, I am 24 years old, and I am completing my bachelor degree in architecture in Poland. I want to live in Delft for the next three years because my plan includes finishing the master program at TU Delft and working at a local firm. Because my studies demand intense focus, I need a quiet home. I spend my days working in the university design studio, but I enjoy cooking, watching films, or discussing politics when I return. People find me easy to live with because I balance this social energy with a deep respect for private boundaries. My past internship in Paris taught me how to manage a household independently. Since I struggle with severe dust allergies, I clean my room daily and keep shared spaces spotless. My routine is predictable. I exercise regularly, wake up early, and sleep at night. Environmental awareness matters to me. I grew up in a house that relies on solar panels, so I never waste water, leave lights on, or overheat my room. My parents provide a full financial guarantee for my rent, and I also have personal savings from my previous architectural work. I always pay bills on the first day of the month.

Hello! I'm a Master's student in Urban and Regional Planning at the UvA. I can provide proof of a guarantor and savings. I'm not a smoker, and I do not have pets. My current roommate and I are looking for our next rental place :)

English version above – Nederlandse versie hieronder. Hi, my name is Paul and I'm moving to the Netherlands to pursue my Master's in Design for Interaction at TU Delft – a dream I've been working towards for a long time. I'm originally from Germany, studied and worked in Design in Weimar, and I'm someone who genuinely loves shared living. I've lived in shared apartments for 5 years, so I know what makes it work: mutual respect, clear boundaries, being there for each other, and keeping shared spaces clean and comfortable. Living together well is something I take seriously – and enjoy. Outside of studies I love cycling, hiking, sitting in cafés, and exploring new places. I'm looking forward to building a real home, not just a temporary stay. What I bring along: a great vinyl/CD collection, useful household appliances, and furniture for shared spaces if needed. Financially I'm well set up: I have savings and will be working part-time alongside my studies, so rent is covered reliably and on time. I'd love to meet you and hopefully become part of your home. Paul Hoi, mijn naam is Paul en ik kom binnenkort naar Nederland om mijn Master Design for Interaction te studeren aan de TU Delft – al lange tijd mijn grote droom. Ik kom uit Duitsland, heb Design gestudeerd en gewerkt in Weimar, en ik ben iemand die echt houdt van samenwonen. Ik woon al 8 jaar in WG's, dus ik weet wat belangrijk is: respect voor elkaar, duidelijke grenzen, er zijn voor elkaar en de gedeelde ruimtes netjes houden. Goed samenwonen is iets wat ik serieus neem – en ook gewoon leuk vind. Buiten mijn studie hou ik van fietsen, wandelen, in cafés zitten en nieuwe plekken ontdekken. Ik leer ook Nederlands, dus ik hoop snel een beetje mee te kunnen praten! Wat ik meeneem: een mooie cd-collectie, handige huishoudelijke apparaten en eventueel meubels voor de gemeenschappelijke ruimtes. Financieel sta ik er goed voor: ik heb spaargeld en ga naast mijn studie parttime werken, dus de huur wordt altijd op tijd betaald. Ik zou jullie graag leren kennen – en wie weet worden we binnenkort huisgenoten. Paul

I’m an exchange student from the UK moving to Leiden for my studies. I’m tidy, respectful, and easy to live with — I balance uni life with cooking, gym, and quiet evenings. I don’t smoke, have no pets, and I value a peaceful, organised home. Looking for a room where I can study comfortably and get along well with housemates.

Hi ! This is Prasanna, a master's student at TU Delft. My current contract terminates by July 31, and I'm looking for a place to move in the month of July. I am a simple and introverted person. I keep up with maintaining a neat and tidy place, while also open to socializing at times. Looking forward to hearing from you from an in-person viewing.

My name is Jada. I’m 22 years old and from South Africa. I worked as an Au Pair in the Netherlands from April 2025 to April 2026, and I’m currently home for a short visit until July 10th. I’m looking for a room in Rotterdam from mid-July, as my boyfriend lives there and we have an open partnership application that will allow me to move back permanently. I’m a bubbly, tidy, and respectful person who enjoys learning about new cultures and exploring new cities. My home language is English, and I’m also fluent in Afrikaans and Dutch. I’m a non-smoker with no pets and I’m happy to do a video call before I arrive.
