Housing rentals from housing associations in Maastricht

Student housing provided by the three Maastricht housing corporations Maasvallei, Woonpunt and Servatius is popular with students because of its generally good value for money. Previously, these housing units were allocated using registration lists for which students could build up waiting time with Maastricht Housing. However, this method has been dropped as of October 1,2024. In its place, the housing corporations will be working with direct rentals. Any student can respond to any house in any neighborhood provided it is available in the desired period.

Booking

To apply for a housing corporation offer, first make sure you have submitted the following details in your 'My Housing' account:

  • Proof of Registration (BvI)
  • Banking details

Once you have done this, the new procedure will look as follows:

  1. Select the 'housing corporation' field when scrolling available offers;
  2. You see a suitable accomodation to your wishes? You can book this property immediately by clicking on 'Book now'. If you reserve the property, you will be given the opportunity to view it within 48 hours;
  3. You will receive the rental contract and other important documents such as the rent invoice and general terms and conditions digitally from the corporation;
  4. After digitally signing the rental contract, you immediatly pay the first month's rent (and, if necessary, deposit) to the housing corporation;
  5. After booking an offer, your details are automatically forwarded to the housing corporation. they will carry out several verifications. You will hear as soon as possible by email whether your submitted documents and booking are approved.
  6. Finally, you will be told where you can pick up your key.

Payment

When you have completed the booking process, you will automatically be taken to your 'My Housing' account. Here you can see the total amount to be paid and to which bank account the amount needs to be transferred. Information on the payments can be obtained form the housing corporations. Payments are made directly to them. Maastricht Housing plays no part in this.

Room assignment

You can rent a place directly, if you meet the required conditions.

Please note!

  • Housing corporations apply a maximum age limit of up to 27 years!
  • All living spaces offered by housing corporations are unfurnisched and do not include flooring, curtains, ceiling lights or kitchen appliances. Keep in mind that you usually have to buy everything yourself. Sometimes you can take over these items form the previous tenant.
  • You can only reserve one offer at a time. If you reserve multiple offers, the first reservation will expire and you will consequently only have reserved the last offer.
  • Once you have reserved a housing unit and then refused it or you do not meet the conditions set for the unit by the housing association, you cannot respond to the same advertisment again.
  • It is important to note that when applying for an offer, the final decision lies with the respective housing corporation! Maastricht Housing has no say in this.
