Community | The Expat Social Network - Super Confused About Sectors. March 29, 2012 1:36:20 PM CEST seanfilidis said:Hi everyone. I am super confused. My wife and I have lived in Amsterdam now for 5 years, in a paid-for situation. We are now needing to move into our own apartment, and since we only have 4 years accumulated on Woningnet, the social sector is not an option. So I started looking in the "free sector". I found out pretty quickly that 700 euros is about the cheapest you will find an apartment in Amsterdam. I don't mind that, we can afford it (barely). Yes, Rental housing + The NL = a Mess. Regular Dutch folk in your income range ... live in Social Housing. In fact, about 50% of all the rental housing provided here in The NL is .. They do this to ensure that everyone - no matter how low their salary - is able to have a place to live. That said, I don't think they said you must earn 60 times the price of 1 month's rent.
Typically, (in my experience) it is about 5 times 1 month’s rent .. You have few options. 1) Vrij Sector. 3) Illegal renting.

I guess I don't completely understand the Dutch housing market, because I was surprised to see so many listings far below any prices I'd encountered on funda.nl. Is there a reason for this? Are the listings on funda.nl not "free sector"? Also - how difficult is it to get OUT of a Dutch lease; that is, if I sign for a year, and then decide to buy in six months' time, would I be able to get out of the rental agreement? Again, thanks for all this incredibly helpful and useful information! Apologies, only just seen your reply to me. 'Free sector' is anything that isn't price-controlled (ie: social housing where upper income limits apply).
Anything over the (circa) €650 limit is free sector, and are offered by either: * private landlords (funda.nl, jaap.nl, $$$$+), * rental agencies (often on behalf of big-name finance institutions/pensions who like the regular cash return), * short-term serviced apartments, or.

There is a considerable variety of properties to choose from, although much depends on the area where you want to live, the living space needed and your budget. There is a good choice of rental properties in the so-called Randstad area, in the western part of the country, where most international companies are based (Amsterdam, The Hague/Wassenaar, Rotterdam and Utrecht).
One can find a house for sale or for rent via advertisements in the newspapers, on notice boards at the women’s clubs, international schools or churches, or by driving around and looking out for the signs saying Te Koop (for sale) or sometimes Te Huur (for rent). But the best way to explore the market is by looking at Internet sites such as www.funda.nl (for more useful sites, check the references below).
Though you can go a long way on your own with the help of the Internet, it still remains advisable to contact an agent for the actual house-search and negotiation phase.

Fair rent for all in the Netherlands < Housing The Netherlands. At one time or another, all residents of Dutch cities – especially expats – will have been involved in heated discussions about the seemingly impossible task of finding reasonable and affordable accommodation.
For some, the solution is to buy their own apartment, but at the housing market’s current inflated price levels, this option isn’t viable for all. For students, short-term residents and those on average salaries or below, to rent is the only option. As a member of Amsterdam Wijksteunpunt Wonen (District Housing Support Group) and manager of his own legal office, Guido Zijlstra advises tenants on a daily basis about their rights and entitlements. He provides some invaluable guidelines for expats. Expats often tend to compare rental prices in the Netherlands with those in their home countries. Tenants’ rights As a tenant in the Netherlands, you are protected by the law in several ways. A tenant should also know that the landlord cannot simply charge what he likes for an apartment.
