Pet Friendly Amsterdam Apartments

If you’re hoping to bring any pets along with you to Amsterdam, we’d advise checking if each individual apartment has a “pets allowed” policy. While many specify either way, some may not state their pet policy but will still disagree to allow pets. If you have your eyes on a particular apartment that doesn’t outline its policy towards pets then it's best to get in touch with the landlord yourself.

What documents are needed to rent an apartment in Amsterdam?

If you’re not an EU/EEA/Swiss citizen the first thing you’ll need to do to live in the Netherlands is be granted a residency permit. When renting in Amsterdam you’ll need to give proof of identification (passport or valid driving license), and providing evidence of income will significantly boost your chances of landing an apartment. In terms of contracts, tenancy agreements can be concluded for fixed periods of time and amended at the discretion of the tenant and landlord. Tenants’ rights are well protected in Dutch law, so it’s important that you read through your tenancy agreement carefully and keep it in a safe place just in case you have future disputes with your landlord. Two months’ rent as a security deposit is usually required.
