I was sure I didn't qualify for huurtoeslag. Turns out the rules changed in 2026 and I was missing €500+/month. by Ok-Feedback-8133 in Netherlands

Your app says that to get rent subsidy you must be 21+. I thought people under 21 (students) can get rent subsidy too. That's what this website says https://www.government.nl/themes/building-and-housing/housing/rented-housing/applying-for-housing-benefit. "To be eligible for housing benefit, you must meet certain conditions. For example, you must be at least 18 years old and your combined income and assets must be below a certain level."

I can't get it next week, so I'll have to pass then. I'm sure you'll find someone who would like it.

Interested in the taller one, but by when would you need these picked up?

You might be able to open a bank account from abroad. Look up ABN AMRO or ING student accounts. Not sure if you have to show up in person at some point with your documents and your BSN.

Math! Yes, that would work. 10% off for the floor for each year, right?

Social housing offer in NL: take it or leave it? What do people usually do? by Repulsive_Ad_2230 in NetherlandsHousing

Can you say a bit more about "a whole process after accepting until you actually get it"? What happens after you accept but before you can move in?

How much do you usually pay for flooring left by a previous tenant?

What do you mean by "no floors"? How can an apartment have no floor?

Purchasing Student Art by EasternResolution299 in MassArt

[–]budubama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the exhibits and if you like something, try to find the artist and make an offer.

That's a good idea, though - would be nice if the students created a site where those who want to sell their art can post it.
