Applying for a home
Candidates record household, income and housing preferences. The saved profile sends emails when a potentially suitable home appears, while the logged-in offer filters out homes the household cannot normally request. Always read local-priority and passend-toewijzen conditions.
Regional allocation system
How homes are allocated
Standard homes may rank by registration time or another rule named in the advert. The Spoedmodule is not the same as municipal urgency and has its own participation requirements, including regional registration history for some routes.

Registration and waiting time
The current cost is €10 to register and €5 for each annual renewal. Registration builds waiting time, but it expires after a successful tenancy through the platform. Paying preserves access; it does not buy a higher ranking.

Costs and payments
As of 2026-08-30, registration costs €10 once and renewal costs €5 per year. An active account is required to respond; signing a tenancy obtained through the platform ends that registration, so a future search starts with a new registration. There is no premium tier, and eligibility remains subject to income, household and advert-specific allocation rules.

Contracts and registration at the address
De Woningzoeker can lead to indefinite tenancies. The selected property and written agreement determine the exact duration, notice provisions and tenant protections. A qualifying residential tenancy normally permits municipal address registration, subject to the unit and contract.
