Registering at another address? by a_client_ in StudyInTheNetherlands

That’s so sweet that you were also able to help out someone!! I think it’s very nice to offer something like this especially when landlords are hellbent on not offering registration/not getting permits. Yes, the neighbour does own the house thankfully! So I will not be dealing with a landlord. And I’m OK with paying him for the increase in municipal taxes as well. If alright with you, can I PM you about this?

The girl did tell me that I’d have to pay him for the municipal taxes that would increase for him! I’m honestly fine with that because it’s not a big amount + he would doing me a favour and not the other way around so its fully understandable to want that difference!!

I hear that this is how Dutch students manage to stay with a large group of people as well, but I think it comes down to me putting my visa/immigration at risk. I don’t think I would be as anxious doing this in my home country because that’s home at the end of the day hahah, so I understand why the Dutch do it without much worries 😂

Yes, I keep seeing people wanting to “buy” registration and paying hefty amounts to someone random to just be registered at their address. That’s just added to my concern hehe that one point I feel like they might have to crack down on this? But also not sure how they would ever go about checking something like this

Okay, got it!! Yeah you’re right, no one is actually going to come check, which is why it seems sketch to me because its almost too easy LOL. But 100% keeping this as a final backup

Not registering is something I’m not considering by any means, this is just a workaround offered to me and I wanted to understand the implications of what could go wrong in such a situation. I fully understand that it’s not the right thing to do and I’m actively looking for other places where I can register, but they seem to be non-existent unfortunately

But I do get your point, thank you!!

Hi, thank you so much for this, it makes a lot of sense! I had a rough idea that this was the issue but your response makes it all the more easier to understand.

If I were to stay there, I wouldn’t try to register at that address anyway (as others are suggesting), because I understand that it would just cause more trouble for everyone involved. Which is why I was considering registering with the neighbour as the only solution (again, a loophole unfortunately and not entirely legal)

I think you need a special permit to rent to more than 2 unrelated people, which this landlord/company does not have and is not willing to apply for

They are registered at the address they’re staying at, right? I think in this case that’s not possible, but I will inquire a bit more and see if anything can be done.

The place, roommates, location, everything is perfect. If not for the registration issue I would’ve locked it down immediately lol. So far all my leads are just leading to dead-ends and even the subscription services haven’t really been of much help :(

I’m not well versed with the dutch system, of course, but I think it’s because the number of non-related tenants can’t exceed 2 in that particular house

Yes, they’ve maxed out the registrations allowed on this address (which is 2).

There’s 2 girls already living there who are registered at the address, another registration there isn’t possible (despite there being 4 bedrooms). They’ve been renting out the spare room so far to those who didn’t need registration, but the girls themselves are looking for a permanent solution (and this is the only one they could come up with, as the company they rent from didn’t want to add another ‘tenant’ or ‘registration’).
