Can students rent an apartment through Rendin?

  • Updated

Yes, students can rent an apartment through Rendin.

To sign a rental agreement via Rendin, all applicants must pass a background check.

In general, we expect that the tenant has a regular income sufficient to cover the rent and daily living expenses. Typically, at least 30–40% of net income should remain after rent is paid. For example, if a tenant’s gross salary is €1000 per month, the rent for the property should be in the range of €300–€400.The total rent (including utilities and other monthly bills) should not exceed half of the tenant’s monthly expenses (at most 60% in exceptional cases).

If a student doesn’t have sufficient income (e.g. they’re not working or earn very little), they can still rent an apartment with a surety (guarantor). In such cases, we assess the guarantor’s financial capacity using the same criteria as for the tenant.
