In Amsterdam and Diemen, you can express an interest in a property if you are registered with MijnDak. Registration costs € 50,- plus an annual renewal fee of € 8,-.
Correct details
Your income and the composition of your household are key for determining what home and rent you are eligible for. Make sure you properly registered you combined income and family composition with Woningnet or Woonservice.
Viewing homes
Are you on the list of highest ranking candidates for a home? You will receive an invitation from Lieven de Key for a viewing. When you don’t react to his invitation (or too late), the offer will lapse.
Accepting (or not)
You need to inform Woningnet or Woonservice of whether you wish to accept the property or not by 12.00 AM on the second day following the viewing.
Uploading documents
Did you accept the home and are you the first candidate? That means you can rent the home when you meet all of the terms. At that point, your registration will be ‘frozen’, meaning that you will not be offered any other properties via Woningnet.
To see if you are able to meet all of the terms, we need to check some of your details. You will receive an email with a login for youe Lieven de Key account. You will also receive a link to our website where you can fill out and upload the following information and documents:
- Social security number (burgerservicenummer)
- Landlord statement (verhuurdersverklaring)
- An extract from the Municipal Personal Records Database or BRP (when you don’t live in Amsterdam)
- Income statement from tax authorities (less than 2 years old )
Don’t have an income? We will still need an income statement from the tax authorities.
