Four steps to your Amsterdam apartment

1

Tell us what you're looking for

Fill in the quick form below — budget, preferred neighbourhood, move-in date. It takes 2 minutes.

2

We search, you relax

Joseph actively searches Pararius, Funda, private landlord networks and off-market listings. You hear from us within 24 hours with matching options.

3

Viewings, negotiation & contract review

We attend viewings with you (or by video call), negotiate rent and conditions, and review your rental contract before you sign.

4

You sign — then we invoice

Our fee is one month's rent (excl. 21% VAT), payable only on a signed contract. No apartment found = no fee. Example: rent €2,400/month → fee €2,904 incl. VAT.

Your agent — not the landlord's

Under Dutch law (Art. 7:417 BW), an agent who works for both landlord and tenant cannot charge the tenant. Rentams works exclusively for you as the tenant. We never receive fees from landlords — which means our interests are 100% aligned with yours.

🏆

No cure, no pay

You only pay when you have a signed contract. Zero financial risk.

What our clients say

★★★★★

"Joseph found me a beautiful place in De Pijp within 11 days. He handled all the viewings and negotiations while I was still in London. Unreal service."

Alex M. · London → Amsterdam
★★★★★

"The Amsterdam rental market was brutal — I lost two apartments in bidding wars before finding Rentams. Joseph knew exactly which landlords to contact."

Sarah K. · Expat Amsterdam
★★★★★

"As a French family relocating for work, we needed fast help. Rentams arranged viewings by video and we signed our contract before we even arrived in the Netherlands."

Frequently asked questions

A tenant's agent (aanhuurmakelaar) works exclusively for you as the renter — never for the landlord. Rentams searches the Amsterdam market, contacts landlords on your behalf, negotiates the best conditions, and guides you through to signing. No cure, no pay.
Rentams charges one month's rent (excl. 21% VAT), payable only when you sign a contract. No contract = no fee. Example: rent €2,400/month → fee €2,400 + €504 VAT = €2,904 total. This covers viewings, negotiation and contract review.
Yes — but only if the agent works exclusively for you as the tenant. Under Art. 7:417(4) BW, an agent who also works for the landlord cannot charge the tenant a fee. Rentams only ever works for the tenant and never receives payment from landlords.
Yes. Rentams specialises in expats relocating to Amsterdam. We arrange video viewings, help build your rental dossier, and guide you through signing remotely. We speak Dutch and English.
Landlords typically require gross income of 3× the monthly rent. As a knowledge migrant, we help you prepare a strong dossier (payslips, employer letter, ID) that meets landlord requirements — even before you have a BSN.
We respond within 24 hours. Most clients find their home within 2–6 weeks. The Amsterdam rental market is very competitive — popular apartments in De Pijp or Jordaan go within hours. Our direct landlord contacts give you an edge over Pararius and Funda.
