Room Ina Boudier-Bakkerlaan, Utrecht - For Rent

This listing offers a furnished-free room of approximately 12 m² in a shared student house at the Ina Boudier-Bakkerlaan in Utrecht, better known as the IBB complex. The room is part of a house shared with 14 housemates, making it ideal for those looking for a lively and social living environment. The IBB complex itself is home to around 1,300 students and consists of several buildings with four or five floors, as well as a high-rise flat with eighteen floors. During the summer months, residents can relax on the grass areas of the complex, which gives the location an almost village-like atmosphere.

The location of the complex is highly practical for students. Within a few minutes on foot, you reach Ledig Erf, an area with terraces and shops. By bike, the city center of Utrecht is less than ten minutes away, while Utrecht Science Park can be reached in roughly fifteen minutes. Directly opposite the complex is a small shopping center that includes a supermarket, a drugstore, and a snack bar, covering most daily needs within walking distance.

The net rent for the room is €366.90 per month, with service costs of €106.43, resulting in a gross rent of €473.33 payable to SSH. These service costs cover various items, including electricity, water, cooking gas, heating, internet, cleaning of common areas, waste levies, and sewerage charges. The maximum rent allowance (huurtoeslag) for this room is €163.00, which could reduce the effective monthly rent to €310.33 for those who qualify. The room is offered under a campus contract, which means tenants must be able to demonstrate that they are currently studying or about to start a study program. Living here is only possible for students or PhD candidates, and this condition is explicitly included in the rental agreement.

The house is looking for a female candidate, and the housemates describe themselves as an active and close-knit group that organizes regular house evenings, joint outings, and an annual house weekend. The residents have diverse interests and studies, and several are members of student, sports, or study associations. Smoking is not permitted in the house, and pets are not allowed. The complex offers several practical facilities, including Wi-Fi internet, communal bicycle storage for each house, and camera surveillance throughout the complex. Parking at the IBB complex is paid on weekdays from 06:00 to 21:00, but residents can apply for a parking permit through the municipality of Utrecht. Please note that there is no elevator in the building and that TV signal is not included in the service costs.
