Rent a home or apartment from the owner

Ninety nights per booking is a hard limit in the system, and your own bookings at the same place add up if they are less than fourteen days apart. Note that the Dutch market calls anything up to roughly four months a short stay, so Huurmarkt sits below that. Temporary housing and property guardianship fall under those same stay rules: you settle per night there too, while in that market a monthly usage fee of roughly one hundred to a little over two hundred euros is common (market picture, not a Huurmarkt price). Want to stay longer, and you either agree it directly with the owner, off the platform, or take the long-term route — where Dutch tenancy law and tenancy protection do apply.

• Subcategory first, then the filters: Accommodation type works across the whole category, the rest is per route. Under Holiday & short stays you filter on Guest capacity, Minimum stay and Final cleaning included; Furnished and Surface area belong to Long-term rental, Utilities included to Temporary housing.
• Fixed packages: midweek, weekend and week have a single price for the whole period, and the owner decides the start day, the number of nights and the check-in and check-out times.
• House rules and guests: smoking, pets and parties are not allowed by default unless the listing says otherwise; the maximum number of people is stated too, children included.
• Tax and timing: if Dutch tourist tax is not in the price, the amount is stated before you book; arriving later or leaving earlier does not reduce the rent.

The listing shows the bare monthly rent, the service costs, whether utilities are included, the total per month, an indication of the deposit that goes directly to the landlord, the income requirement, the available-from date and the rental period in months. You filter on Surface area, Furnished and Registration possible; the exact address follows an invitation.

Because Huurmarkt only makes the introduction, safety rests on the conversation itself. Never pay anything before you have viewed the property in person and signed a written tenancy agreement, and never transfer a deposit, "reservation" or key fee to someone you only know digitally — Huurmarkt will never ask you to. Never share your ID or BSN through the chat. For homes and stays Huurmarkt asks for ID verification through our partner Didit: a photo of your ID plus a short selfie, which Didit keeps for no more than a month. Where an owner requires it on their listing, a booking will not go through without it.

Letting out for short stays means you handle the permit side: many Dutch municipalities require a registration number or cap the nights per year, and you take care of tourist tax, working smoke alarms, a clear escape route and mentioning a pool, hot tub or open fireplace. If your own lease or the owners' association forbids subletting, the listing does not belong here (prohibited items). For a long-term rental, proof of ownership or authority is required before you can publish; it is not made public, and the listing is removed if the proof does not arrive (listing an item).
