My name is Arif, and together with my wife, I will be relocating from Istanbul, Türkiye to the Netherlands this September. We are a quiet, respectful, and financially reliable couple looking for a peaceful and well-maintained home where we can settle for at least one year. I have been admitted to the Advanced LL.M. in Public International Law (Peace, Justice and Development specialization) at Leiden University, and was awarded a prestigious Jean Monnet Scholarship, which fully covers both my tuition and living expenses. A brief summary of our background: I hold dual degrees in Law and Sociology from Koç University, followed by an LL.M. in Public Law. I have worked as Legal Counsel at Warner Bros. Discovery and as a Senior Associate at a top-tier Turkish law firm. My wife, Özgen, holds a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and a minor in Psychology from Koç University. She has one year of clinical experience as a registered nurse at one of Istanbul’s leading private hospitals. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Nursing at Koç University, where she also serves as a teaching and research assistant. Özgen will continue her doctoral studies remotely during our time in the Netherlands. We do not smoke, have no pets or children, and will be the only residents in the property. We are responsible tenants who take pride in treating any home with care and professionalism. We are also fully committed to maintaining a smooth, transparent, and respectful relationship with our landlord. To provide you with peace of mind, we are ready to pay 12 months’ rent upfront, or alternatively, we are happy to pay a monthly rent amount that is above the current offer, depending on what is more suitable for you. Our available financial resources include a €19,200 scholarship stipend that will be paid to me in full before the start of my studies in September, an additional €3,500 lump sum for relocation and academic expenses, €11,000 already transferred to Leiden University as proof of sufficient income for my residence permit (which will be refunded upon arrival), a current bank account balance of €4,876 in Euros, and certified gold savings estimated at approximately €14,500. Altogether, our accessible resources amount to approximately €53,000. We would be truly honoured to make your property our home. We kindly and sincerely hope that you will consider our application favourably. It would mean a great deal to us to have a calm and secure place to begin this important new chapter of our lives. If selected, we will be reliable and considerate tenants in every respect, and will take excellent care of the property entrusted to us. Thank you very much for your time, understanding, and kind consideration. Kind regards,

Hey there! I’m David, 28, originally from Greece but I've been based in Amsterdam for a few years now. I work full-time as an Assistant Restaurant Manager, which means I keep a pretty active and structured schedule — usually out early and back in the evenings. I’m clean, organized, and respectful of shared spaces. I like to keep things tidy without being uptight about it. I’m social and easy to get along with, but I also value a calm and comfortable home vibe — definitely not the kind to bring the party back. No smoking, no pets, and I tend to recharge at home after work. I get along best with people who are chill, direct, and respectful. Looking for a room in a place where everyone values basic cleanliness, good communication, and a bit of mutual respect. Bonus if there’s the occasional dinner or chat, but I’m not looking for a full-on shared-life setup either — just good people and a solid home base. Let me know if it sounds like a good fit!

Met ingang van 1 september start ik aan de universiteit in Leiden. Vanwege de huidige verre reisafstand ben ik op zoek naar een kamer. Ik ben zelfstandig, maar hou ook van gezelligheid. Ik heb enorm veel zin om te starten met mijn rechten opleiding in Leiden. Nu nog een kamer vinden zou het compleet maken.

Hello, my name is Andrew and I'm looking for a room in Amsterdam during my working holiday visa.

Hi, my name is Annabelle. I'm a 23 years old student female. My budget is € 700 p/mnd and I would like to move immediately

I am an IT professional based in Amsterdam. Before Amsterdam I have been living in several European countries before, so I have plenty of experience with renting and sharing places. I am quite, tidy and clean. I have been living at my current place for over 8 years by now, sharing an apartment with two flatmates. I greatly enjoy cycling, improvisation theater, and inline skating. These hobbies also tie me to Amsterdam due to our vivid communities.

Hoi, Ik ben Yasmine, 28 jaar en kom uit Duitsland.

Hi, my name is Thomas, a 25-year-old Austrian–South African young professional with a background in industrial engineering and project management. I make 5.300 EUR gross. I’m currently transitioning into a new line of work with a focus on digital transformation and am actively upskilling in this area. For this, I plan on moving to Utrecht, as I am seeking a long-term base close to nature, community, and new opportunities. I’m looking for an apartment in Utrecht with space to work from home and ideally also access to greenery. I value peaceful surroundings, take great care of my space, and have always paid rent reliably and on time. If required, I can provide the contact details of my previous landlords as a reference. I don’t smoke, have no pets, and am happy to provide proof of income and documentation upon request. Having lived as the main tenant in several places over the past six years in Germany, I have become accustomed to the bureaucracy and upkeep required to keep my place in good condition. My life is quite calm and responsible, and it’s important to me that I feel at home and at peace in the place I stay, meaning I am committed to being a considerate tenant who treats the rental space as such and not just as a stopover. If it sounds like I could be a good fit for your place, I’d love the opportunity to come view it and introduce myself personally. Thanks for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Thomas
