Frequently Asked Questions

Many employees spend months – sometimes even longer – searching for a home in the traditional way. This makes them frustrated and even desperate. With Renthomy, that changes. More than 64% of our users find a home within 8 weeks. And a large number even succeed within 3 to 4 weeks. We are proud that we can make such a difference for your employees. Of course, the lead time depends on the region and the specific search criteria. If your employee searches in popular cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Eindhoven or Utrecht and they are looking for homes with a maximum rental price below €1,200, it takes an average of 6 to 12 weeks to find a home. However, this is still considerably faster than the traditional, manual search.

An additional advantage of Renthomy: when creating a search query, we immediately give an indication of the number of home matches you can expect per week based on historical data. This way you know exactly what to expect and can better estimate your chances.

In the hunt for a home, Renthomy offers a powerful tool: advanced search robots. These smart robots track down almost all rental properties in the Netherlands, including those hidden gems that others often miss.

As soon as your employee places a search query, his or her personal search robot immediately gets to work. They will receive new homes that match your employee’s housing needs within seconds via WhatsApp or email. This way, your employee will be the first to discover the latest offers and increase the chances of being at the top of the pile with landlords!

Are you ready to find new homes for your employees in no time? It works like this:

1. The employer creates a new account for the employee in 3 clicks.
2. Your employee opens the account and clicks on “Place your search query”.
3. The employee fills in the desired place of residence and other search criteria. Your employee will immediately discover how many matches they can expect (our tool gives an indication when placing your search query). With just a few matches per week, you have a good chance of finding a home via Renthomy. The employee keeps his or her phone at hand: you will receive new homes within seconds via WhatsApp or email.
4. Does your employee see a suitable home? Then he or she can respond immediately.
5. The employee shares his or her documents via the ultra-secure digital safe with the broker for a quick settlement.

The short answer is: no.

The long answer: Renthomy does not rent out homes itself. The Netherlands already has an abundance of real estate agents and housing corporations, and the last need is an additional real estate agent. In fact, there are so many real estate agents that keeping up with all the new listings is a huge challenge.

That is where Renthomy comes in. We offer an advanced solution to find almost all new rental homes in the Netherlands. Using our smart search engines, we monitor more than 1,500 housing sites day and night.

In addition, we ensure that your employee is the first to know about new rental homes. Your employees will receive notifications of new offers within seconds via WhatsApp or email. By responding quickly, they increase the chances of reaching the top of the pile of responses and being invited for viewings more often.

In summary: although we do not rent out homes ourselves, we help your employees find and secure a home considerably faster.

An excellent question! With so many free and paid housing sites, why would you choose Renthomy? Our answer is simple: we save time and money and ensure a fast integration of your employee.

Many housing sites offer the same thing: lists of available rental properties. The problem is that by the time your employee discovers an interesting property, thousands of other house hunters have already done so. As a result, they often miss the opportunity to respond in time, and a response from the landlord is often not forthcoming.

Renthomy offers a solution that goes beyond standard housing sites: we ensure that your employee can respond first.

How do we do that? Thanks to our advanced search engines that continuously monitor more than 1,5400 housing sites. As soon as a Renthomy bot finds a property that matches your employee’s search criteria, it immediately receives a notification via WhatsApp or email – often within seconds.

With these ‘real-time’ alerts, your employees are always the first to know and can respond considerably faster. The result? No wasted time and a suitable rental home faster.

Unfortunately, no one – not even us – can guarantee that your employee will find the perfect home. What we can guarantee is that Renthomy will give you access to all rental properties that meet your employee’s needs in no time. And that your employee can be the first to respond to new rental properties. Hundreds of employees have already found their new home via Renthomy.

Has your employee found a home? Great! Then it’s time to take action quickly. Please note that your employee does not respond via us, but contacts the provider directly (such as the landlord, real estate agent or housing association).

This is how you arrange a viewing:

1. Click on the link in your home alert; as an employee you will be redirected directly to the landlord’s website.
2. See how you can respond there. This varies per website: sometimes you can easily respond via email or a contact form, and in other cases you must first create an account. Send your response (make it personal and enthusiastic!) directly to the landlord.
3. Respond quickly, so that your message ends up at the top of the pile. Tip: Create an account with landlords who request it, so that you can respond very quickly as soon as a home becomes available.
