Housing sharers
We rent out several apartments with 2 bedrooms to housing sharers
You will be renting a property from Vesteda as housing-sharers. We hope you will feel at home with us for a long time. As we would like you to continue feeling confident about renting from us in future, we would like to inform you of the following:
Sign together, terminate together!
Sign a tenancy agreement together, also terminate the tenancy agreement together!
You rent the home with 2 persons for the minimum rental period of 12 months. This means that a termination has to be done by both tenants. Changing roommates in between is herefore not permitted during the rental period of 12 months. The current agreement is terminated - modification is not possible.
Should one of the tenants wishes to rent a home again, please read below which steps to take.
- We test (again) whether the lagging and the new tenant meet our rental conditions and registration requirements. As a result, you may no longer be allocated the property. This also applies, for example, if there are plans to sell the property.
- With the termination of the existing agreement, the property will receive a new rent in line with the market rent at that time.
- The new rental agreement starts with a minimum rental period of 12 months.
- You will again pay an administration fee and the deposit. Good to know: your current deposit will be back in your account no later than 14 days after completion.
Please note: If you give notice before switching tenants, Vesteda may reject the application for good reasons. For example, when the property cannot be re-rented due to renovation and/or sales plans.
Housing sharers: changing roommates
4 easy steps
With the four steps below, you can arrange a rent termination in which you want to continue with a new house shareholder:
1. You will arrange the rent termination together by submitting the termination through My Vesteda. In addition, we would like to receive an e-mail (opzeggingen@vesteda.com) containing:
- date of termination of tenancy agreement (this will also be the effective date of the new tenancy agreement)
- first name and surname remaining tenant
- first and last name new tenant
Important: once submitted, you cannot revoke the notice of termination - not even after it has been rejected. You can, however, submit a new tenant again.
2. The straggler will re-register together with the new sharer. As remaining tenant (sharer) you re-register as a house seeker via www.vesteda.com.
3. You again request a viewing for the house you have cancelled and upload the required documents. Please allow for a processing period of the cancellation. As a result, after you have cancelled, it may take a few days before the property is visible via hurenbij.vesteda.com.
4. Vesteda tests the documents against its conditions. The remaining and new tenant will hear as soon as possible whether they are (re)allocated the property.
If you do not choose a new housing sharer.
Do you want to continue renting the property as the sole tenant after the residence shareholder leaves?
Then submit a request for unilateral rent termination via My Vesteda.

FAQ
We rent out several apartments with 2 bedrooms to housing sharers
Can I rent a property together with my spouse?
If you can demonstrate that you run a joint household on a long-term basis with your partner, you are eligible to rent as a couple. Both your names will be mentioned on the rental contract. In this case, you can combine both of your incomes to calculate your maximum rent.
House sharing
You can share an appartment with two bedrooms with another person such as a friend or colleague. We call this ‘house-sharing’.
I’m a student. Can I rent an accommodation from Vesteda?
We do not rent out homes to students, not even if they are sponsored by their parents. If you are not a student and want to share a home please check out the information.
How does Vesteda calculate this income requirement?
With every rental property on our site, you can see under the heading "Can I rent this property?" what your minimum gross income must be to rent the property. These are our income requirements.
To determine the income requirement per home, we use the table below:
| Monthly rent | Number of tenants | Gross monthly income |
|---|---|---|
| €700 - €1,000 | 1 | 4 x the monthly rent |
| €700 - €1,000 | 2 | 4.5 x the monthly rent |
| more than €1,000 | 1 | 3.5 x the montly rent |
| more than €1,000 | 2 | 4 x the monthly rent |
Please find below a calculation example:
Suppose you want to rent a property with a monthly rent of € 746.
- Do you want to rent the property on your own? Then you must earn at least € 746 x 4 = € 2,984 gross per month.
- Do you have a partner? Then you must jointly earn at least € 746 x 4.5 = € 3,357 gross per month to qualify for this property.
The story of Charel and Suus
Charel and I have been friends since elementary school. We both lived in a student house until a few months ago, but now we share an apartment. Our search for a place to live in Amsterdam was a bit difficult at first. Until we heard about the special home-sharing offer. Within no time we had found an affordable two bedroom house in the heart of Amsterdam.
