In short

Through your profile settings you can:

  • Update your personal information
  • Change your email or phone number
  • Change your profile photo
  • Temporarily limit or delete your account
  • Add business information (if applicable)

Huurmarkt does not use passwords for email and phone — login uses a verification code.

Settings → Profile

Editable fields:

  • First and last name

Changing your email address

To change your email address:

Password reset

Huurmarkt does not use passwords for email and phone.

Login uses a one-time verification code sent by email or SMS.

There is therefore no password to reset.

If you sign in via Apple or Google, you manage that password through the external provider.


Updating business details

There is no separate business account at this time.

If you use Huurmarkt as a business, you can:

  • Add your company name to your profile
  • Add a company description
  • Include your KvK (Chamber of Commerce) number (optional)
  • Add your VAT number (if relevant)

You technically continue to use a regular account.

A dedicated business account may be introduced later.


Temporarily deactivating your account

If you want to step away from Huurmarkt temporarily:

You can:

  • Pause your listings
