Frequently asked questions
How much can I ask for my property?
We are happy to visit you to determine the rental price. To give advice, we look at a number of factors, such as the condition of the home, amenities, location and competitive rental offer in your area. Based on these findings, we will give you well-founded advice. Placing a rental home on the market too expensive can lead to unnecessary long-term vacancy. You are always free to determine the amount of the rent yourself.
How much does it cost to get advice for my property?
We visit you with no obligation and free of charge to explain our working method and to view your home, and subsequently issue tailor-made advice.
What is your fee for renting out my property?
How does Urban Homies charge for rental services?
When we successfully place a tenant, our fee is equal to one month’s rent (excluding VAT). For example, for a rental of €2,500 per month, the fee would be €3,025 including VAT.
Our fee starts at €1,815, including VAT.
Our rental mediation services cover everything from marketing your property to screening tenants, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free rental process.
I don’t know anything about rental contracts, which one is best for my situation?
From the Landlords Association of Amsterdam 4 model leases are offered, which can be used in different situations. The models each have advantages and disadvantages. Of course we will discuss this in detail and advise you on the right contract for your situation.
How does it work with utilities and internet?
We always recommend that the tenants arrange their own contracts with the various suppliers. In the event of non-payment, you will then never be held liable and there is no need for subsequent calculation. We help the tenants with this.
Who takes care of the maintenance?
The maintenance of the rental home is divided between the landlord and the tenant. The landlord takes care of the major maintenance. The tenant takes care of the small and daily maintenance. The Dutch government has written a decree with all the rules. Download this document for a clear overview. Urban Homies can take care of the property management for an additional fee.
