Reserved housing Xior Bachelor's

This page only details information on reserved accommodation with housing provider Xior. Visit the respective Plaza and SSH pages for more information on their reserved UU housing and application process.

Rent and other costs

Please be aware that due to changes in the Dutch Rent Act, rent prices will increase as per the next semester (August 2025). This also applies to the housing offers in the UU Reserved Accommodation Programme. At present, Xior has not yet determined the rent prices for 2025-2026. This information will be updated within the next months.

Rental period

Housing via the Reserved Accommodation Programme for eligible degree students is exclusively available for a fixed rental period of 12 months: 8 August 2025 - 3 August 2026

  • As you agree to a fixed, 12 month rental period, you cannot cancel the lease prematurely, nor can you extend your contract. If you are looking for housing for a shorter rental period than 12 months, you are not eligible for this type of accommodation. 
  • The rental period does not necessarily cover a full academic year. Your programme may plan educational activities before the start of your lease or after the rental period ends. 
  • Tenants are responsible for the rental payments for the full tenancy period. Xior cannot defer a reservation to a later moment and you are responsible for paying the rent per the starting date of the contract.

Cancellation prior to the start of the agreement

Cancellation of the Xior rental agreement is only possible if your cancellation request is submitted in writing via Utrecht@xior.nl before 1 Juli 2025. If your cancellation request is submitted correctly and on time, you will receive a refund of your deposit, minus the non-refundable registration and administration fee. A late or an incorrectly submitted cancellation means your first month's rent will not be refunded.
