Personal approach with one fixed rental broker

As a landlord, you want clarity. That's why at Koops Makelaardij you always work with one fixed broker who supervises the entire rental process: from the first meeting and rental advice to handing over the keys. We provide a professional and careful approach, tailored to your home and situation. We will discuss whether letting for a definite or indefinite period of time best suits your situation and whether the property will be offered furnished. For fixed-term rentals, such as transitional rentals, 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.

Letting a home in Leiden in 5 clear steps

Letting a home requires a well thought-out process. That is why we guide you step by step:

1Getting acquainted with your rental agent in Leiden

During an informal meeting we will discuss your home, your wishes and the current market situation in Leiden. You will receive direct advice on the rental price, the target group and rules such as the property rating system.

2Present your house professionally

We arrange photography, a strong text and publish on Pararius, Funda, our own website and in our network. Your property will be visible to families, expats and professionals specifically searching in Leiden.

3Selecting tenants and screening

We plan viewings, screen candidates thoroughly and advise you on the most suitable tenant.

4Lease agreement

We draw up a watertight lease agreement, suitable for temporary or permanent rentals. We ensure that the right clauses and current legal conditions are in place.

5Key transfer and handover

During the handover, we prepare a completion report and ensure that everything is legally and practically in order. Would you like to outsource the management? If so, we will take it over from you via Koops Vastgoedbeheer.

  • In good hands from the first moment"
    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 Leiden

Below are answers to frequently asked questions from landlords looking to rent out their home in Leiden. Do you have another question or are you looking for personal advice from an experienced rental agent in Leiden? If so, please feel free to contact us.

  • Can I just rent out my property?
    FAQ icon

    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.

  • Do I need to prepare anything before renting out?
    FAQ icon

    Yes, think about determining the rent, the type of contract, the delivery (furniture or no furniture) and the duration of the rental. We will help you with this and make sure everything is legally correct.

  • Can I rent out my property temporarily?
    FAQ icon

    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 interesting to rent to expats?
    FAQ icon

    For many properties in Amstelveen, this is a logical choice. Expats quickly feel at home here thanks to the strong international community, the presence of good amenities and excellent connections to Amsterdam, Schiphol and Aalsmeer.

  • Do I need a license to rent?
    FAQ icon

    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?
    FAQ icon

    This is a document confirming your rental history. Sometimes this is required for certain new rentals. We will provide this if necessary.

  • How does the key transfer take place?
    FAQ icon

    We provide an inspection, completion report and proper handover of keys and documents. This way, the rental period begins clearly and properly recorded.
