General
Studently is an online rental platform designed specifically for students looking for accommodation in the Netherlands. The platform brings students and landlords together in one secure and transparent space. Students can view properties, apply filters based on city, property type and budget, and then respond to available listings. Studently acts as an intermediary platform and is not a landlord itself.
Through Studently, you can find accommodation in several student cities across the Netherlands, such as Amsterdam, Utrecht, Groningen, Eindhoven, Rotterdam, The Hague and other popular student cities. The listings vary by city and are regularly updated based on new adverts from landlords.
Studently is designed for students, international students and young professionals who are studying in the Netherlands or have recently graduated. The platform is particularly suitable for people looking for their first home, moving from abroad, or struggling to find reliable rental properties on the open market.
No, Studently is neither a landlord nor an estate agent. The platform simply provides a digital space where landlords can list their properties and where students can browse these listings and respond to them. The tenancy agreement is always concluded directly between the tenant and the landlord.
Studently works with registered landlords and agencies and strives to show only genuine and realistic listings. Nevertheless, it remains important for students to carefully check the property details themselves and ask the landlord questions before making a decision.
Search & Account
No, you don’t need an account to view properties on Studently. Anyone can freely browse the platform, view properties, use filters and read information. An account is only required if you wish to respond to a property listing or contact a landlord.
Studently offers various search filters, such as city, neighbourhood, property type, rent and availability. These filters help you find properties more quickly that suit your budget, place of study and personal preferences.

Yes, once you’ve created an account, you can save properties as favourites. This makes it easy to revisit interesting listings later and compare different options before making a decision.
Viewing properties and creating an account on Studently is free. For certain actions, such as responding to a property listing, you may need to use tokens. These tokens ensure fair and verified contact between students and landlords.
Requests & Tokens
To respond to a property listing on Studently, you must be logged in to your account. Once you’ve found a property that suits you, you can express your interest via the Apply or Contact us buttons. You’ll need to fill in a form with your details and a cover letter, so the landlord can get a good idea of you as a tenant.
Tokens are digital credits used to apply for properties. This system helps to reduce the number of irrelevant applications and ensures that landlords only receive applications from serious candidates. This makes the process more efficient and fairer for both students and landlords.
Tokens can be easily purchased via your personal account on Studently. Once purchased, they are added to your balance straight away and you can use them immediately to respond to property listings. The token overview is always visible in your profile.
In most cases, tokens are not automatically refunded if you are not selected. Tokens give you access to the application process with the landlord. This encourages students to respond in a targeted and careful manner to properties that are genuinely suitable for them.
You’ll improve your chances by creating a complete and honest profile, writing a clear cover letter and responding quickly to new properties. Landlords value transparency, clear communication and a serious approach.
Landlords & Agents
Properties on Studently can be listed by private landlords, estate agents and accredited letting agencies. All providers must create an account and complete their profile before they can publish properties. This helps to ensure transparency and reliability on the platform.
Yes, listing properties on Studently is free for landlords and estate agents. Studently operates on a model where students pay to apply for a property, whilst landlords can showcase their listings to a targeted audience of students at no cost.
When a student applies for a property, the landlord receives a notification containing the student’s details and reasons for applying. Landlords can view these applications via their dashboard and decide for themselves who to contact for a viewing or to take the next steps.
No, landlords are not obliged to accept every application. They always retain the right to decide for themselves which tenant is best suited to their property, provided this is done in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations in the Netherlands.
Once a tenancy agreement has been concluded between the student and the landlord, the rest of the process is entirely the responsibility of both parties. Studently is not a party to the contract, but can offer support with general queries or technical issues on the platform.
