ARE Living
Looking for living space? We publish our offer on well-known websites. We do not work with a points system or waiting list and do not make a distinction based on registration duration. Everyone has an equal chance.
01 Viewing
A viewing is without obligation and you can request it by responding to the advertisement. An appointment is scheduled at a fixed time in the order in which you register as a home seeker for the specific rental property. We first ask you to share your basic information. During the viewing you will have the opportunity to view the property and ask questions.
02 Allocation
Did the viewing make you more enthusiastic? You will then need to submit various documents. We must receive the documents within one day. After receiving the letter, we assess whether you are actually financially able to pay the rent. We carry out, among other things, an ID fraud check, general and special screening and credit check. If the results are positive, you will be assigned the home.
03 Signature
After assignment and acceptance, you will receive the rental agreement from us. For this we use the general standard in the rental market (ROZ) and - after signing - we schedule the key transfer. The deposit (max. 2 months) and the 1st rental period must be paid in advance. Finally, we draw up the delivery report together. Welcome to your new home!

Selection criteria
In the assessment we use the same (selection) criteria for all home seekers. This takes into account: occupancy by the home seeker(s), presence during the viewing, income in relation to the rental price (standard at least 4x), meets the minimum age, permanent employment contract/sustainable entrepreneurship longer than 3 years, positive creditworthiness, good asset position, no ID fraud, screening and credit check results, no notes and purpose & use in accordance with the intended use and the household fits into the rental property.
A target group for a rental property is determined in advance and results from the Housing Act and/or regulations laid down by the local authorities (Municipality of Rotterdam). In most cases, room rental, students, home sharers and/or with a guarantee from parents and/or third parties are unfortunately not eligible.
Undesirable behavior
Municipalities have set up a reporting point where home seekers and tenants can go if they experience undesirable behavior from rental agents or landlords. What can you report? Discrimination, intimidation, excessive deposit/service costs, no written rental contract, and no information about rights and obligations.
Rights and obligations
As a tenant you are entitled to legal rental protection. Our employees are ready to explain matters to you. With regard to defects and maintenance, a tenant is responsible for a number of matters. These are legally anchored in, among other things, the Minor Repairs Decree. We use a written rental agreement (ROZ).
Legal protection
Are you unable to reach an agreement with us? In some cases, parties can contact the rental committee in the event of disputes. In other cases, they can go to the subdistrict court judge in the first instance. You can also be assisted by a legal advisor.
