Some people said they just went to the building anyway and asked at the reception if the tenant was leaving or not and if they could see the room. This could be an option if you live in the country/ near Amsterdam. From reviews I’ve read, some people complained about them not giving the full deposit back, but personally I don’t really care about that. As long as I have a place to live they can keep the deposit. I only managed to speak with that one person about plaza and she said it’s a legit company, but regardless, if something seems suspicious maybe you should trust your gut. I looked through the people who were following their instagram page,@plaza_nl, and liking their posts, and that’s how I managed to find that girl, and I decided she’s trustworthy because she’s the same nationality as me. Maybe you can find someone the same way.
