About HOD (H.O.D. Nederland)

HOD anti-squat housing explained

Searches for HOD antikraak, temporary housing Netherlands and cheap flexible housing lead to a vacancy-management model, not a normal rental marketplace. Occupants protect temporarily empty property in return for a relatively low monthly user fee.

Referral and eligibility

HOD also points people without a referrer to urgent projects published through its social channels.

The 28-day risk

Anti-squat occupancy can last days or years, but duration is never guaranteed. HOD states a 28-day notice period, so applicants need flexibility, limited possessions and a credible fallback address.
