Checklist for renting a property in Amersfoort

Draw up a complete proposal including all conditions under which you wish to rent the property. Add an introduction of you and any co-tenants/occupants.
Keep in mind, making a proposal isn’t without obligation. If your offer is accepted, a legally binding agreement exists.

We send your proposal, including written introduction, to the landlord/owner of the property. We give the landlord/owner more information and advice regarding the proposal. The final decision regarding acceptance of a proposal always lies with the landlord/owner.
Keep in mind, if your proposal is accepted, a legally binding agreement exists (subject to succesful screening).

As soon as an agreement regarding the conditions is reached, the Dutch law states a legally binding agreement exists. Agreement is always subject to a positive screening performed by Interhouse.
A screening is a formality and usually has positive results, on account of the requested information being supportive of the situation as described by you. We also assume a candidate tenant has made a correct estimation regarding monthly costs and income. 

You are to provide us with documents for identification and proof of income. Below, you can see which documents we’ll need. You’ll receive an invite from our partner Properize for our screeningsprocess and to upload your documents. Should any further documents be necessary, we’ll inform you.
