Renting in the Netherlands — Key Facts
The 30% Rule
Dutch guidelines recommend spending no more than 30% of your gross monthly income on rent. Many landlords also use this rule to screen tenants.
BSN Registration Required
You must register at your rental address at the municipality (gemeente) to get your BSN number — essential for working and banking in the Netherlands.
Huurtoeslag (Rent Subsidy)
If your rent is below €879.66/month and your income is below the threshold, you may qualify for huurtoeslag — a government rent subsidy. Apply via toeslagen.nl.
