Housing in Amsterdam is at a premium, so students and interns (as well as locals) tend to have a hard time finding a room. We list several services and advertisers that list rooms for rent.

We also give details on how to avoid room rental scams. And did you know that certain types of properties come without renters’ protections (e.g. cancellation terms)?

Also: is your room legal or illegal? Are you allowed to register?

Plus: What to do if you are being charged too much rent.

Amsterdam will soon see its first private student hotel.

City Living provides accommodation for people who are still studying or in the first two years of their professional life. The company’s Amsterdam facilities will include 625 rooms.

“The shortage is dramatic,” says DUWO director Jan Benschop. “It has never been as bad as it is now.”
