Alvast

Alvast is a KLB-certified Dutch vacancy manager offering anti-squat occupancy and temporary rental housing across the country. Its changing first-party offer can include rooms, studios, apartments, houses and unusual vacant buildings. The service targets flexible adults who prioritise lower housing costs and can meet selection, income and short-notice requirements.

Alvast operates through regional teams and can publish offers across Dutch provinces. That geographical reach does not mean every city has stock at the same time: availability follows owner projects, redevelopment and vacancy periods. Applicants should monitor the live offer and respond only when the location and contract type fit.

Alvast 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. Alvast screens for flexibility, income and responsible occupancy.

Registration itself is free. As of 2026-08-30, residential candidates who sign an agreement face published charges of €50 registration, €99 administration and €45 for the mandatory fire-safety package, in addition to the property’s deposit and first monthly payment. These figures replace the substantially lower amounts shown in older summaries.

As of 2026-08-30, candidate registration is free and non-binding. For residential occupancy, Alvast states that €50 registration, €99 administration and a mandatory €45 fire-safety package are charged only when an agreement is signed; deposits, monthly compensation or rent, utilities and service costs remain property-specific. Anti-squat agreements have a mutual 28-day notice period. Temporary rental uses different protections and notice rules, so the contract type—not the marketing label—should guide any cost and security comparison.

Alvast 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.
