When finalizing your reservation, we require a deposit. The amount is indicated under the 1-time fee listed on the booking site.
Your deposit will be held until the end of your tenancy. If the room is delivered in the same condition you received, and if there are no outstanding payments, we will refund the full deposit.
The deposit will be refunded, if applicable, within 14 days from the official tenancy ending. This can only be processed after we receive your proof of deregistration.
A guarantor is a person who will be held responsible if the tenant can not pay what is stipulated in the terms and conditions of the tenancy agreement.
You can not sublet your room during your tenancy (for example, if you go on an international internship), and you can not transfer your room to someone else (friend / acquaintance / classmate) when your tenancy has ended.
Unfortunately, this is not possible
Unfortunately, this is not possible. The rooms are often still occupied by the current tenant when the new tenant books the room, hence we can not do a viewing.
Please get in touch with our Residents Team. They are experts on our properties and most have rooms with varying levels of adaptations, so our team will be able to help you.
If you book online, and you indicate you have a medical condition, the booking process will automatically pause and one of our Guest Service Coordinators will reach out to you.
Applicant Login: This is for people who are in the process of applying. It covers everything from starting your application to signing the contract.
Resident Login: This is for users who have signed the contract. It provides access to all your documentation and the Xior app, which we will use to keep you up to date with all the events being held in the residence, important announcements, and general news about your residence. You can also follow up on maintenance requests and rental payments via the app.
You have 5 days from the day you receive our signature request email to decide whether to proceed with the reservation and sign the lease.
If you change your mind and wish to cancel your application within these 5 days and no lease was signed during this period, the cancellation will go through, but you will lose your admission fee.
After a contract is signed, there is no possibility of cancelling the reservation since the legal lease agreement has entered into action.
Possibly. Starting in January 2026, the Dutch government is changing the rules for housing allowance (huurtoeslag). These changes mean that some students may be eligible for housing allowance even if their rent is above the current maximum threshold. In such cases, you may receive allowance for the portion of your rent up to that threshold, minus your personal contribution.
Please note:
Eligibility still depends on factors like your income, age, and living situation.
Students under 21 may qualify under certain conditions.
From age 21, you may be entitled to full housing allowance (previously this started at age 23).
The allowance will decrease more gradually as your income increases.
The amount of rent allowance isn’t the same for everyone. It depends on things like your age, income, savings, and the base rent of your room.
To give you an idea:
-
Tenants aged 18–21 years can receive up to EUR 295 per month.
-
Tenants aged 21 years and older can receive up to EUR 523 per month (2026 levels).
So the exact amount will vary from person to person, but this gives you a good overview of the maximums.
No. From 2026, service costs (like cleaning or caretaker fees) will no longer be included in the calculation of your eligible rent
You can visit the official Dutch Tax Authority (Belastingdienst) website to check your eligibility based on your rent, income, and assets
You can apply directly through the Dutch Tax Authorities (Belastingdienst). They’ve made a simple step-by-step guide that explains the process clearly:
