Verhuurtbeter.nl gives people a fair chance.We allocate homes based on registration duration and the applicable conditions. This way, we help you find a new home 10 times faster than others. A social rented house is naturally more desirable due to its low rent, than an expensive free-sector house.

Below we tell you how our waiting list works.

Before you charge for a Faster Renting account, you can see for all properties in our listings how many people (in the example below, 10 prospective tenants) are already on the waiting list for that property. You can see this by the heart, with the number next to it.

With a FasterRenting account, you can view your current position on the waiting list for each of your preferred properties in your Profile Card.

These two arrows refer to your position on the waiting list and that the status of each property is indicated, 'available' or 'under option'.

Under option
Properties that have been put under option for someone else are, the moment the allocation is finalised, no longer displayed here. However, if a property becomes available again because the chosen candidate rejected it, the waiting list position for that property will become visible once more.

Potential waiting list changes

Until the candidate selection process, which usually occurs 2 days after the Open House, candidates can modify their preferences for the houses listed in their Profile Card. If a candidate's registration period is longer than yours, they will be placed ahead of you on the waiting list. It's also possible for a candidate with a longer registration duration to remove a property from their preferences or cease searching for a home altogether. In such cases, other candidates move up one position on the waiting list. During the candidate selection process (mostly this process takes 2-3 working days after the Open House), we determine the positions of candidates on the waiting list, starting with position 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Qualify by visiting the open house

We strongly suggest visiting the property before renting it. While it's not mandatory to be present to be eligible for the property, it's a step in our rental procedure to input the open house code. If you cannot make it to the open house, you can request the code through your housing record. By doing this, you indicate your agreement to rent the home based on seeing the presented media (photos, video, 3D-tours) so without physically seeing the property.

Adjust preferences within 24 hours and enter the unique code
To indicate your interest in specific properties, make sure to adjust your preferences within 24 hours after attending the Open House and enter the unique code corresponding to the property you wish to qualify for. Access your Profile Card and provide the 3-digit code you received during the Open House. Two working days after the Open House, we will select the candidate. The candidate at the top of the waiting list at that time will receive a rental proposal from Verhuurtbeter.nl in their account. If you do not receive a rental proposal, it means the property has not been assigned to you. Rest assured that everyone who expressed interest and entered the code will receive a notification. If you don't have a Faster Renting registration yet, it's crucial to complete this step within 24 hours after the Open House, specifying your preferred properties and their unique codes.

Rental proposal, document upload and rental agreement

The candidate who accepts the rental proposal before the deadline, typically the next day at noon, will receive the rental agreement in their account. It's then vital to upload all required documents into your account within 3 days. We request that you review the agreement and sign it online within 2 days, as well as make the initial payment (including rent, service costs, deposit, etc.). If this isn't done within the specified period, the property will become available again, and we will proceed with the next candidate on the waiting list.
