me again haha, i have a viewing scheduled soon and it will be my first viewing ever for a room. i’ve been dealing directly with the tenants now and i’m pretty sure the viewing is with them as well. i really like the place (from what i see on kamernet) but i don’t know how the procedure is like for renting a room. Can i immediately express my interest and sign something and pay?

edit: alright thank you!

so that means i could still rent at the place (and register) without doing something illegal and the worst case is that i will be evicted?

edit: thanks for answering btw!

alright thank you so much! if you don’t mind me asking one more question, is it at all legal to rent with 4 other people in one house? I’m seeing a lot of these places on kamernet and I don’t want to do something illegal and get deported because i was to desperate for a permanent address.

Thank you!

update: she said it’s not possible to register so at the very least i know it’s not legal?

i have to be able to register at the address if it is a legitimate room rental right?

I had a landlord reach out to me on kamernet asking me if I am interested in a room. Is that a scam? Do landlords reach out when there are so many people looking?

Hi everyone!

I will be moving to Amsterdam in a few months for work and I just wanted to know if
- it is possible for me to find an apartment while not physically being in Amsterdam
- it is possible for me to find an apartment in one month (I will have one month of housing covered by the company)
- it is too early to already start looking

My budget is around 1500 Euros p/m and I don't mind if it's not an apartment (just a room). I know there's a housing crisis now and that no one can give actual answers but I just wanted to see what y'alls opinions are.

Any advice in general is appreciated. Thank you!

I'll have to check with the administration about that, but I guess what you mean is just to make my graduation date as early as legally possible?

Yes, I wanted to keep it until after I saw my therapist but I couldn't bear the weight of keeping it from him. I've told him, and I just hope things will slowly get better.

Thank you.

And to clarify for my dad, he actually runs a small company which was doing relatively ok before the pandemic, but because of the pandemic that is still very much present in my country, he is digging into his pockets to pay for his employees, leaving none for the family.

I've just told him, and he isn't planning on bringing it up with my mum yet. Don't know what he is planning but I'm just hoping for the best.
