Welcome To The Netherlands 

We work closely with trusted educational organisations, housing networks and placement partners to support international students with finding suitable accommodation and settling into life in the Netherlands.

Student Housing Hunter is dedicated to helping international students transition smoothly into life in the Netherlands — especially when it comes to finding housing.

Thanks to our strong network of housing platforms, and real estate agencies, we help clients access accommodation options that may otherwise be difficult to find. In today’s challenging housing market, where government regulations have made some landlords hesitant to rent to internationals, our services aim to bridge the gap.

We work exclusively on behalf of the tenant. This means we do not act on behalf of landlords and we do not receive payment from them. Instead, we are instructed and paid by you — the tenant — to assist in finding housing, providing support with paperwork, and guiding you through the entire process from abroad.

Legal Note: Student Housing Hunter works exclusively on behalf of the tenant and does not represent landlords or property owners. No commission is received from landlords. Fees are charged solely for services provided to the tenant, including housing search, administrative assistance, and guidance throughout the rental process.
