When you have found an apartment of your interest on the availability page, you can apply for the apartment via the ‘I’m interested’ button. You will receive then an e-mail with the request for a pre-application, please start collecting your documentation already. Find below which documents you would need in your situation.

We will allocate based upon ‘first come first serve’. We will let you know as soon as possible if you got the apartment or not and why.
  • Saveon is a deposit guarantor. We can imagine you sometimes just do not have the deposit amount to transfer to the landlord. Saveon will be your guarantor during your rental period in exchange for a small fee. Students are required to secure their deposit guarantee through Saveon.
