Agencies, platforms and current availability

The largest share of housing in Utrecht is provided by private home owners and housing providers. Most housing offers are posted on housing platforms by current tenants, landlords and agencies. The available offers and the housing advertised on the platforms and pages is not checked by Utrecht University. You must come to an agreement in direct contact with the housing provider without interference of Utrecht University.
