Room Ina Boudier-Bakkerlaan, Utrecht - For Rent

This listing concerns a furnished room of approximately 12 square meters within the IBB student complex on the Ina Boudier-Bakkerlaan in Utrecht. The complex accommodates around 1,300 students and consists of several buildings with four or five floors, as well as a high-rise flat with eighteen floors. The room is part of a shared household with thirteen housemates, bringing the total household to fourteen residents. In the summer, the communal grass areas of the complex offer space to spend time outdoors. The room is intended for a male tenant, as the household prefers a new male housemate.

The household consists of seven women and seven men of various ages, fields of study, and personal interests. Residents follow a cleaning schedule and pay a monthly contribution to a shared house account, which is used for cleaning the sinks and washbasins and for organizing activities. The house arranges regular activities, including an annual house party, a Christmas dinner, and a house weekend. Cooking and eating together is common, and housemates regularly share coffee, play games, or watch films. A monthly house evening is also part of the routine. Smoking is not permitted, and pets are not allowed.

The monthly net rent is €315.89, with service costs of €110.43, bringing the gross rent to €426.32 per month. The service costs cover utilities and services such as water, heating, cooking gas, electricity, internet, cleaning of the common areas, waste levies, sewer maintenance, and general upkeep of the complex. Internet and Wi-Fi are included in the rental, while a TV signal is not provided. Housing allowance may apply, with a maximum of €112.00 per month. The complex has no elevator, but common bicycle storage is available for every house, and CCTV surveillance is present in the complex. Parking is paid on weekdays from 06:00 to 21:00, and residents can apply for a parking permit from the municipality of Utrecht.

The room is offered under a campus contract, which means tenants must be able to demonstrate that they are studying or about to start a study program; this condition is explicitly included in the rental agreement. Proof of student status or doctoral candidacy must meet the requirements set by the landlord. The location of the complex is highly practical: within a few minutes, residents reach Ledig Erf, an area with terraces and shops. By bicycle, the city center of Utrecht is less than ten minutes away, while Utrecht Science Park can be reached in about fifteen minutes. Directly opposite the complex is a small shopping center with a supermarket, a drugstore, and a snack bar.
