Student Room Ina Boudier-Bakkerlaan, Utrecht - For Rent

This listing concerns a room of approximately 12 square meters at the Ina Boudier-Bakkerlaan student complex, known as IBB, in Utrecht. The room is part of a shared apartment with five housemates, forming a mixed household. The IBB complex 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. In the summer, the grass areas within the complex are used by residents for spending time outdoors. The complex is managed by SSH, a student housing provider in Utrecht.

The monthly net rent for the room is €397.42, with service costs of €109.66, bringing the gross rent to €507.08. The service costs cover electricity, water, heating, cooking gas, internet, maintenance, cleaning of communal areas, waste collection, and related charges. A maximum housing allowance of €194.00 may apply, which would reduce the monthly cost to €313.08. Wi-Fi is available in the complex, although a television signal is not included. There is no elevator, but communal bicycle storage is available for each house. Parking is possible with a permit from the municipality of Utrecht, and paid parking applies on the complex from Monday to Friday between 06:00 and 21:00. Camera surveillance is present throughout the complex.

The location of the IBB complex is convenient for students. Within a few minutes on foot, residents reach Ledig Erf, an area with terraces and shops. By bicycle, the city center of Utrecht is less than ten minutes away, and Utrecht Science Park can be reached in about fifteen minutes. Directly opposite the complex is a small shopping center that includes a supermarket, a drugstore, and a snack bar. This makes daily errands and commuting straightforward for residents.

The rental contract is a campus contract, which means the room can only be rented by someone who is studying or pursuing a PhD. Proof of student status or doctoral candidacy must be provided and this condition is explicitly included in the rental agreement. The household is a mixed group that includes a physiotherapist, two art historians, and a social worker. Household tasks are carried out on a weekly basis to keep the apartment clean, and the housemates regularly cook together and spend time in the shared garden. The housemates are looking for a male housemate for this room. Smoking and pets are not permitted in the house.
