Student Room Ina Boudier-Bakkerlaan, Utrecht - For Rent

This listing concerns a room of 14 square meters within a shared student house on the Ina Boudier-Bakkerlaan in Utrecht. The room is part of a household with seven housemates, forming a mixed community of residents aged 21 to 26. The property is rented out under a campus contract, which means tenancy is only possible for students or doctoral candidates, and proof of current or upcoming enrollment is required. The accommodation is available to applicants of any gender. Smoking and pets are not permitted in the house. Apart from adherence to the communal cleaning schedule, the household has no fixed obligations for its residents.

The room is located in the IBB complex, one of the larger student communities in Utrecht, home to approximately 1,300 students. The complex consists of several low-rise buildings with four or five floors, as well as a high-rise flat with eighteen floors in which this room is situated. The scale of the complex creates a village-like setting, with grass areas that are used by residents during the summer months. Communal facilities include bicycle storage for each house, an elevator, and camera surveillance throughout the complex. Internet and Wi-Fi are available in the property, while a TV signal is not included. Parking is possible with a resident permit issued by the municipality of Utrecht, as paid parking applies on the complex during weekday daytime hours.

The location of the complex is one of its practical advantages. Within a few minutes on foot, residents reach Ledig Erf, an area with terraces and shops. The city center of Utrecht can be reached by bicycle in less than ten minutes, while Utrecht Science Park is about fifteen minutes away by bike. Directly opposite the complex is a small shopping center that includes a supermarket, a drugstore, and a snack bar. This combination of proximity to both the university and everyday amenities makes the area convenient for student life. The neighborhood offers a balance between a large student community and access to the wider city.

The monthly rent consists of a net rent of 427.95 euros, supplemented by service costs of 112.76 euros, bringing the total to 540.71 euros per month. The service costs cover a range of expenses, including electricity, water, cooking gas, heating, cleaning of common areas, waste charges, sewer maintenance, and a caretaker service. Depending on personal circumstances, tenants may be eligible for housing allowance, which can reduce the effective monthly cost. Residents of the house organize regular shared activities, such as themed house evenings, film and game nights, and shared dinners. Recurring traditions in the household include a Christmas dinner and a house weekend. Prospective tenants should be prepared to provide the documentation required for the campus contract, such as proof of study or enrollment.
