The income requirement is a guideline used by landlords to determine whether you can afford the monthly rent. It helps both tenant and landlord ensure that housing costs are financially manageable.
In most cases, the rule of thumb is:
Your gross monthly income (including holiday pay) should be at least 3 to 4 times the monthly rent.
Example:
For a rental property with a monthly rent of €1,200, the required gross monthly income is usually between €3,600 and €4,800.
If you’re renting with a partner, your incomes are typically added together. Sometimes, the second income only partially counts (e.g., 70%).
Landlords may ask for:
Annual financial statements from the past 2–3 years
An accountant’s report or income statement from the tax authorities
Other forms of income may be taken into account, such as:
Alimony
Pension
Student grants or allowances (limited)
Assets or savings – often assessed separately
You’ll usually need to provide:
Recent payslips or an employer statement
Bank statements
Annual income statements or tax returns
Proof of ID / registration in the municipality (BRP extract)
The income requirement helps ensure you’re not renting a property beyond your financial means. Landlords are also legally obligated to rent responsibly.
LOCATION
The building is located in the Nieuw-West district, just outside the Amsterdam ring road. Supermarkets and nice cosy shops and restaurants are in the immediate vicinity. In addition, there is plenty of greenery within walking distance; on one side of the building the Sloterplas with surrounding park and on the other side the Rembrandtpark with its beautiful ponds, lawns and playgrounds and which also offers a 'green' cycling route to the city centre. The centre of Amsterdam is only 15 minutes away by bike from the apartment. At a short distance from the building are several bus, tram and metro stops via which you can be door-to-door at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in half an hour, as well as Amsterdam Central Station. By car, you can reach the A10 motorway within minutes.

OUR COMMUNITY
We're on a mission to reintroduce the element of community in urban apartment living. The ecosystem we create, helps you interact with your fellow residents while protecting your personal space. From cozy get-to-gethers to big events with your neighbors; we believe that life is infinitely more joyful when we're truly connected and never need to feel alone.
The building has an atrium where you can work and enjoy a snack from the vending machines. Next to the atrium is the communal living room, which invites you to relax, watch a movie or play a game with your fellow residents.
Both areas are designed to encourage interaction so you can connect with your neighbours. Both spaces are currently undergoing an 'upgrade'. They are being completely repainted and fitted with new furniture, so that these spaces can be even better used by the community and you too can really feel at home there.
WHAT WILL THE RENT OF AN APARTMENT COST ME?
The basic rent is EUR 845 per month.
In addition, you pay a service charge of EUR 176 (including EUR 45 for heating) per month. These costs are charged for the services offered, such as the caretakers (Tenant Ambassadors), cleaning, security, flooring, sunblind but also for internet and heating in your apartment.
Service costs are an advance payment. Every year, you will receive an overview of the actual costs incurred. If applicable, the costs will be settled.
You enter into a rent contract for one year. After that, the contract can be terminated monthly.
There is a possibility to apply for rent allowance. Whether you are eligible for a rent allowance is of course entirely dependent on your income, you can calculate this on the website of the Dutch tax authorities.
