Data Protection

Your documents and personal data are protected with the highest standards of security and privacy in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Here’s how we ensure your data is safe:

  1. Strict Access Controls: Only authorized personnel have access to your documents, ensuring that your data remains confidential and secure.
  2. Data Encryption: Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, safeguarding it from unauthorized access and breaches.
  3. Clear Data Policies: We only collect and process the data necessary for providing our services to you, and we retain your data only as long as needed for those purposes.

Process

After our consultation call, if you decide to work with us, we will begin the onboarding process. To start your relocation journey, you will need to upload certain essential documents. These documents play a crucial role when we submit offers on your behalf for apartments. In this section, we will explain the types of documents required and provide instructions on how to upload them properly.

Passport

When moving abroad alone or with a partner/spouse, you will need to provide a clear and readable copy of your passport and your partner/spouse's passport (if applicable). Uploading a high-quality PDF scan of the passport is the preferred method, as it ensures that all important details, such as the passport number and the entire first page, are clearly visible.

Employment Contract

When submitting an offer for an apartment in the Netherlands, your employment contract is the most essential document. Here are a few important considerations:

  1. Timing of the employment contract start date:
    • Your employment contract start date should be no more than one month after your planned moving date to the Netherlands.
    • For example, if your employment contract starts in November, it is unlikely that your offer will be accepted for an apartment available from September.
  2. Signature requirements:
    • Your employment contract must be signed by both you and your employer.
    • If you have not yet signed your employment contract, you will need to provide a letter of intent from your future employer instead.
  3. Foreign company employment:
    • If your partner works for a foreign company, you should obtain an employer's statement in addition to your partner's employment contract.
    • If the company is unwilling to sign an English document, they can sign it in the company's official language. In this case, you will need to have the document translated by a notary and sealed.

Hello,

My name is Alex, and I am excited to express my interest in renting your lovely property. As a 28-year-old software engineer, I recently accepted a position at a promising tech startup in Amsterdam, prompting my relocation from London.

I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Manchester and have been working in the tech industry for the past 5 years. My career has allowed me to develop a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills, which I believe will translate well into being a reliable and conscientious tenant.

In my free time, I enjoy staying active through running and cycling, exploring new restaurants and cafes, and attending tech meetups to stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends. I am a non-smoker, have no pets, and maintain a clean and organized living space.

Being a dedicated professional, I understand the value of reliability and accountability. This extends to my approach as a tenant—I am committed to prompt communication and swift resolution of any concerns that may arise during my tenancy.

I have always been a good tenant at my previous rentals since I kept the places in great condition and always paid rent on time. I have always loved living in a cozy and nice place so every time I move to a new apartment I like making it comfortable and taking care of everything. I am also aware of all the apartment considerations from a landlord’s perspective as well.

I am looking for a place where I can call home while I am in the NL and I believe your house is a perfect match for me. I would be grateful if you could rent me your wonderful place!

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,
Alex
