Rent out a room in the home you live in yourself and help someone to a place they would otherwise not find, or rent out a home you don’t live in. For both we find a tenant who fits and arrange the contract, the deposit and the paperwork.
More than 80,000 people looking for a room
Extra income, more life in the house, and a place for someone who would otherwise find nothing. We guide you through the entire process.
We help you rent out one or more rooms, studios or properties, including temporarily while you are away.
Recruitment, screening and management for property owners, agents and housing corporations. Always tailor-made.
Apartment building of a professional landlord
Homestay rental is the oldest form of room rental: you rent out a room in the home you live in yourself and share the kitchen and the bathroom. Some hosts have space to spare now the children have left, others are after some company or extra income. You decide who you rent out to and which house rules apply, from visitors to cleaning. The first nine months count as a trial period: if it doesn’t fit, you can end the tenancy within that time. Listing and renting out is free.
Host and tenant laughing together in front of the house
Rent out your property room by room, as a studio or as a whole, permanently or temporarily while you are abroad. We know what is allowed at your address and what a realistic rent is, and we guide you through the regulations. You then get free access to our network of tens of thousands of house hunters: international and Dutch students, but also working tenants with a higher income, and couples. So for almost any space you will find the tenant that fits, and we stay involved throughout the tenancy.
Rented living space with its own entrance
Tell us what you want to rent out. Not sure what is allowed or possible? At the intake we look into it with you personally.
From our network we put forward candidates who suit your space and your situation. You choose who you invite.
We draw up the contract, hold the deposit and track the payments. If anything goes differently than agreed, you can come to us.
Host and tenant talking at the kitchen table
What is allowed in your municipality, what your mortgage, tenancy agreement or owners’ association permits, and how tax and benefits work. We look it up per address and draw up the contract.
The largest network of people looking for a room
You will find a tenant in it, whether you rent out a room in your own home or an entire home. Municipalities, corporations, schools and universities refer their house hunters to us.

Frequently asked questions about renting out
What does renting out through Hospi Housing cost?
Hospi Housing is free to use for hosts and landlords. There is no subscription and there are no listing fees.
For renting out 1 or 2 rooms in your own home you usually don't need a permit. Rules differ per municipality; during the intake we look at what applies in your situation.
With homestay rental you pay no tax on room rental income up to €6,633 per year. Above that amount the usual rules apply and we point you in the right direction.
With homestay rental the first 9 months count as a trial period, during which you can end the rental term with ease. We draw up the contract and record the agreements.
What if I have already found a tenant myself?
We can still help: from advice about (local) laws and regulations to the contract and full support during the rental period. Let us know during your intake that you already have a tenant.
