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.
How Does It Work?
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.Combined Income
If you’re renting with a partner, your incomes are typically added together. Sometimes, the second income only partially counts (e.g., 70%).
Self-Employed / Freelancers
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 Sources of Income
Other forms of income may be taken into account, such as:
-
Alimony
-
Pension
-
Student grants or allowances (limited)
-
Assets or savings – often assessed separately
Verification & Documentation
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)
Why Does It Matter?
The income requirement helps ensure you’re not renting a property beyond your financial means. Landlords are also legally obligated to rent responsibly.

Basil Residential Complex: Where Green and Urban Living Come Together.
Welcome to Basil, where the comfort of a modern rental apartment seamlessly blends with the tranquility of nature. Located in the bustling Westerpark West, on the former ING campus, this project offers a unique living experience. Here, four striking residential buildings come together to offer the perfect balance between urban dynamism and natural serenity.
Basil's architecture is a story in itself. The buildings are made up of 96 structures reminiscent of neatly stacked tables. This playful and dynamic design gives the buildings a light and airy feel, allowing them to blend perfectly into the green surroundings. Each of the 250 sustainable rental apartments, ranging from two- to three-bedroom homes, has been designed with an eye for detail to ensure optimal living comfort.
Living in Basil means that nature is always within reach. You can step straight out of your home into the green Brettenzone, a vast area ideal for a peaceful walk, a run, or a relaxing picnic. On the other side of the complex, the cultural hotspots and cozy terraces of the Westergasterrein await you, where there is always something to do.
The apartments not only offer stunning views, but also maximum comfort. Thanks to the ‘Coreless’ concept, you share the elevator with just one other neighbor, ensuring extra peace and privacy. The homes feature spacious living rooms with an outdoor area, ideal for enjoying the sun and the view. And thanks to solar panels and a geothermal heat source, you can enjoy an energy-efficient and comfortable indoor climate all year round.
Basil in Westerpark West is the ideal place for those looking for a unique rental apartment in a prime location. It is the perfect place for those who want to combine the liveliness of the city with the tranquility of greenery.

The energy of the city at your feet, with the iconic Westerpark as your backyard.
The projects Westerpark West 2A (Salt, Pepper and Blend) and 2B Basil (North, East, South, and West) are located in Westerpark West, a unique location on the Haarlemmerweg where the city center and nature seamlessly merge. The lifestyle here revolves around the perfect balance. The iconic Westerpark is your direct neighbor, ideal for sports, relaxation, and the cultural hotspots of the Westergas. At the same time, you're just a few minutes by bike from the vibrant Jordaan district and the heart of Amsterdam. Daily groceries can be done in the nearby Staatsliedenbuurt. Connectivity is excellent: the Haarlemmerweg is a major route for both cars and bikes.
