Personal approach with one permanent rental agent

As a landlord, you want clarity. That is why at Koops Makelaardij you always work with one dedicated rental agent in Amsterdam who supervises the entire process. From the first meeting and rental advice to the key handover, we provide a professional and careful approach tailored to your home and situation. We will discuss whether letting for a definite or indefinite period best suits your situation and whether the property will be offered furnished. For fixed-term rentals such as transitional letting, we provide a conclusive rental agreement with a clear end date.

Thanks to our experience and local presence, we have a large network of house seekers, including many expats. Expats often rent furnished properties in central locations and stay for an average of three years. With our targeted approach, we quickly find a suitable and reliable tenant.

Renting out a property in Amsterdam in 5 clear steps

Renting out a property requires a well thought-out process. That is why we guide you step by step.

1A no-obligation meeting with your rental agent in Amsterdam

During a free-of-charge meeting with your rental agent, you will discuss the property, your wishes and the situation on the Amsterdam rental market. You will immediately receive honest and expert advice. We also determine whether your property is in the free sector or whether additional regulations apply.

2Presenting your property professionally to the right audience

We provide professional photography, a strong description and placement on Pararius, Funda, our own website and within our network. This allows us to quickly reach suitable candidates, including expats, families and professionals.

3Selecting and screening the right tenant

We schedule viewings, screen potential tenants on identity, income and rental history, and discuss the best candidate with you.

4Drawing up a solid rental agreement

Depending on the type of rental, we draft an agreement that meets all legal requirements. Whether you choose temporary or indefinite rental, we ensure everything is clearly and legally documented.

5Key transfer and careful completion

At the key handover, we record the condition of the property and ensure everything is arranged properly. Would you like to outsource the management of the property afterwards? Then we can arrange that through Koops Vastgoedbeheer.

  • I am extremely satisfied with the sale of my apartment by Koops Makelaardij. From the first moment I felt in good hands. They have excellent knowledge of the Amsterdam housing market and gave me good advice on the best sales strategy. What I especially liked were the short lines by phone, whatsapp or email. Because of these short lines, the sales process was very smooth and transparent. In addition, I was very impressed with the professional presentation of my apartment. The video, photos and sales text were of high quality and gave a good picture of the property. This certainly also contributed to the quick sale. In short, I can highly recommend Koops Makelaardij to anyone who wants to sell his or her home.

Frequently asked questions about home rentals in Amsterdam

  • Can I just rent out my property?

    In many cases you can rent out your property if you are the owner. Always check the deed of sale and consult your mortgage provider for any conditions. Your homeowner’s association may also have rules about rentals. We are happy to help you assess your options.

  • What should I arrange before I rent out my property?

    It is important to decide on the rental price, furnishings, type of rental contract and availability in advance. We advise you on all of this during the first meeting and ensure legal accuracy.

  • Can I rent out my property temporarily?

    Yes, this is possible through an intermediate rental contract with a diplomatic clause. This suits situations like working abroad or taking a sabbatical. We draft a solid agreement that ensures you can return to your home without issues.

  • Is it smart to rent to expats?

    That depends on your property and location. Expats often look for furnished rentals near public transport and stay for an average of three years. We have extensive experience with this audience and know how to reach them.

  • Do I need a license to rent?

    If you rent to more than two unrelated adults, a conversion permit is required in Amsterdam. This applies to room-by-room rentals. We advise whether this applies to your situation and assist with the application.

  • What is a landlord statement?

    In some cases, municipalities require a landlord declaration. In Amsterdam, this is often tied to room rentals. We check what applies to your situation and help you with any necessary documentation.

  • What happens at the key handover?

    On the day of move-in, we carry out a detailed inspection, complete a delivery report and hand over the keys and important documents. This ensures a smooth start for the tenant and proper legal coverage for you.
