Student Room Bisschopssteeg, Utrecht - For Rent

This listing concerns a room of approximately 17 m² located on the fifteenth floor of the Johanna, a modern student complex on Bisschopssteeg in Utrecht. The room is rented within a shared living arrangement with four housemates, meaning residents share the common living areas while each having a private space of their own. Because the building is equipped with an elevator, the fifteenth floor is easily accessible. The accommodation is part of a large, active student community, offering both privacy and opportunities for social contact.

The Johanna is home to more than 650 students and offers a range of shared facilities that extend beyond the individual rooms. The building features several terraces, including a rooftop terrace on the eleventh floor and a terrace at the rear of the building that can be used for barbecuing. On the ground floor, there are dedicated study spaces for residents who prefer to work outside their rooms. The complex also includes a communal bicycle storage facility and is monitored by CCTV. Parking is not possible at the building itself, although temporary loading and unloading is permitted behind the building with hazard lights activated.

The financial structure consists of a net rent of €498.20 per month plus service costs of €100.09, bringing the gross rent to €598.29 per month. The service costs cover a wide range of items, including internet via WiFi, water, heating, electricity for the room and common areas, cleaning of shared spaces, sewer maintenance, waste levies, water purification charges, and contents insurance. The rental contract is a campus contract, which means the accommodation can only be rented by students or doctoral candidates. This requirement is explicitly included in the rental agreement, and proof of enrollment must be provided before moving in.

The household consists of four housemates in a mixed group with an average age of around 21 years. The housemates describe themselves as quiet but sociable, each with their own activities, and they cook and eat together every Thursday, occasionally organizing game nights or other shared activities. There is no preference regarding gender for new residents. Smoking is not permitted in the home, and pets are not allowed. WiFi is included in the service costs, while a TV signal is not provided as part of the arrangement.
