Why do I have to verify my identity through iDIN?

iDIN is a service provided by Dutch banks that allows you to confirm your identity securely and easily online. When submitting an option application, Vesteda asks for online identification from you (and your co-tenant, if any). When we use iDIN, we only request the following data from your bank: name, address and date of birth.  Read more about iDIN here.

I have requested a viewing but I haven't heard anything. How come?

We need a maximum of 10 working days to process your viewing request. You will receive a reply from us within these 10 working days.

Are you a home seeker but have not yet received an activation e-mail?
That’s annoying. We would like to give you a number of tips!

  1. Sometimes an e-mail may arrive later than usual due to a delay at your e-mail provider. So check back later.
  2. Check the ‘spam’ or ‘unwanted items’ folders of your e-mail account. You may find the activation e-mail there.
  3. Still nothing? Register again and check the spelling of your e-mail address.

I am going to view a property. Which documents do I need to submit?

Are you registered with us and have you been informed that you can view a property? If so, we will ask you to provide us with a number of documents. We use these to verify your income and identity. The rental conditions tell you exactly which documents you need to provide.

Read the rental conditions in full. That way, you will be well prepared to view and perhaps even rent a property.

Terms And Conditions Of The Tenancy Agreement

How does Vesteda allocate homes to candidates?

Whether you can view or rent a property depends, among other things, on these four checks:

  • Do you meet the income requirements? (Information about these is available under income requirements).
  • Can you rent immediately the moment the property is available?
  • Have you filled in all your details and attached the right documents?
  • Does the composition of your household fit the property?

If there are several prospective tenants who answer yes to these questions, we will look at the date you requested the viewing. Good to know: Vesteda does not have waiting lists.

Please note: If you offer money or otherwise put pressure on our staff to qualify for housing we will no longer process your application.

Am I obliged to take over the tenant's belongings?

Are you going to view a property with a tenant? Never pay key money to the tenant. You are also not obliged to take over belongings. You can agree on takeover amounts. This does not affect the allocation of the property.

Why can't I nominate a new tenant when terminating my lease?

Vesteda offers all vacant rental properties through its website. As a result, it is not possible for a departing tenant to propose a candidate tenant for the vacant property himself. This policy change (since 2022) has two reasons: to increase the public housing supply and to prevent requests for key money by departing tenants. Only in the high-rent segment (bare rent from €1,400 per month) is it possible to propose a new tenant yourself. In this rental segment, there is much more supply and therefore requests for key money hardly ever occur.

More public supply of rental properties

A primary reason for stopping the tenant proposal is that all vacant properties now appear ‘on the market’. This gives everyone an equal chance of being able to rent a property. Indeed, a few years ago, almost 25% of our vacant properties were rented via-via, which meant that these properties were never offered on the website. As a result, a prospective tenant who does not know anyone with a vacant rental property is much more likely to miss out. Vesteda believes that in a tight housing market, it is fairer to publicly offer all available homes to everyone.

Acquisition fee is increasingly key money in disguise

A second reason for discontinuing tenant recommendation is that complaints from prospective tenants were becoming more frequent. After analysing incoming complaints, it was found that requested takeover fees were not always commensurate with the value of the items. For example, one departing tenant asked a takeover fee of 11,000 euros for a laminate floor and some second-hand furniture via social media. Of course, a prospective tenant can always refuse to take over such items. But the departing tenant increasingly made paying a generous takeover sum a condition for being proposed to us as a prospective tenant. In such cases, this is a disguised and dubious way of asking for key money. We emphatically distance ourselves from this practice and for this reason, too, we will stop being able to propose candidate tenants.
