• Register on www.maastrichthousing.nl.
• Pay the Maastrichthousing one-time €35 membership fee.
• Respond to an advertisement you are interested in.
• Every Sunday night the advertisements will expire. The candidate who is registered longest will then receive an invitation for viewing. You will either arrange this viewing with the current tenant or by picking up the keys at our office in Maastricht.
• After the viewing you let us know via the website whether or not you accept the room. In case you are still abroad you may also accept without viewing.

Can a friend pass on a room to me?

Only student-rooms may be passed on to a friend. Studios and apartments are not eligible to be passed on.

You must of course meet the requirements to rent a student room.
