Ad Hoc

Ad Hoc is a nationwide vacancy manager placing selected residents in anti-squat spaces and temporarily rented homes. Supply can range from a room in a repurposed building to an apartment or house awaiting redevelopment, so location, condition and duration vary sharply. It is primarily a low-cost bridge for mobile students and working adults, not a substitute for a secure long-term tenancy.

Ad Hoc reviews the application, may arrange an intake and selects people suited to the building and expected duration. Speed helps, but meeting the criteria matters more than repeatedly responding. Never assume municipal registration, utilities or relocation support: confirm each point in the advert and agreement.

Ad Hoc selects candidates for the building and expected vacancy period. Meeting the intake, mobility, income and household conditions matters; a quick response alone does not guarantee a placement. Ad Hoc reviews the application, may arrange an intake and selects people suited to the building and expected duration.

Online application is free, while final waiting-list registration after intake costs €30 as of 2026-08-30. Contract-stage payments can include a deposit, mandatory fire-safety package and the first monthly payment. Anti-squat candidates must normally be adults without resident children or pets, have demonstrable income and insurance, and provide a backup address.

As of 2026-08-30, submitting the online application is free; joining the housing or temporary-rental waiting list after a successful intake costs €30. At contract signing, Ad Hoc also requires the stated deposit, fire-safety package, first month’s fee or rent and any object-specific charges. Anti-squat agreements commonly use a 28-day notice period. Monthly compensation, utilities and deposits differ by property, so applicants should price the complete offer rather than compare only the advertised occupancy fee.

Ad Hoc can lead to temporary leases and anti-squat loan-for-use agreements. The selected property and written agreement determine the exact duration, notice provisions and tenant protections. Municipal address registration is property-specific and must be confirmed before accepting the offer.

Depends on the property

Ad Hoc can work well as an affordable interim home for a mobile renter with a realistic backup plan. It is a poor fit for households needing tenure security, pets, resident children or a guaranteed stay. View the property and understand the notice clause before paying.

Yes. Ad Hoc is a nationwide vacancy manager placing selected residents in anti-squat spaces and temporarily rented homes. No single, sufficiently representative Dutch review profile could be attributed to the complete Ad Hoc housing operation as of 2026-08-30. Public experiences vary by regional office and building: positive reports focus on low monthly costs and unusual spaces, while recurring cautions concern communication, maintenance expectations and the disruption created by short notice.
