Package 1: Rental Mediation in Amsterdam

Last updated: October 2026 · By Erdal Aydın, founder of Amsterdam Property Renting

With rental mediation we find a reliable tenant for your home and arrange everything up to the key handover. After that, you manage the rental yourself. It suits landlords who live nearby, have time for their tenant and want to keep control. If we do not find a tenant, you pay nothing.

What does rental mediation include?

• Rent check and advice. We calculate the points (WWS), compare the market and advise a rent that is realistic and legal.
• Photos and listing. Professional photos, a clear description and publication in Dutch and English on Funda, Pararius and our own channels.
• Viewings. We plan and host the viewings, so you do not have to be there.
• Screening. We check identity, income, employer and references and give you a clear overview of the candidates. You choose.
• Contract. We draw up the rental agreement with the right contract type for your situation, in Dutch or English (both are legally valid).
• Deposit and first rent. We make sure the deposit and first month’s rent are paid before the keys are handed over.
• Key handover and check-in report. We record the condition of the home in a report with photos, which the tenant signs.

What you do after the key handover

From the moment the tenant moves in, you are the landlord in practice: you collect the rent each month, apply the yearly rent increase, deal with repairs and complaints, and handle the end of the tenancy. Prefer not to? Then look at Package 2 (we handle the rent) or Package 3 (we handle the rent and the repairs).

Is Package 1 right for you?

Package 1 is a good fit if you:

• live in or near Amsterdam and can reach the home when something breaks
• are comfortable dealing with your tenant directly
• want a professional to handle the part with the most risk: choosing the tenant and the contract

Moving abroad, or renting out more than one home? Then a package with management usually saves you time and stress.

Rental mediation: frequently asked questions

What does rental mediation cost?

You receive a tailored proposal after a free rent check. Our fee is only due when we find a tenant: no rent, no fee.

Can I be at the viewings?

Yes, if you want to. Most landlords leave the viewings to us and only meet the tenant they have chosen.

Which contract will my tenant get?

Since 1 July 2024 most new contracts are open-ended. A temporary contract is only allowed for specific groups, such as students who move to Amsterdam to study. If you plan to return from abroad, a diplomatic clause is a separate option. We advise you on the right contract before the listing goes online.

Can I switch to a management package later?

Yes. You can add financial or technical management during the tenancy.
