Lottery: you don’t have to be on the waiting list for this Amsterdam social rental home
You are very familiar with the stories about yourself: the waiting lists for social housing in Amsterdam are long. People are on the waiting list for years. But there is good news. Once in a while, social housing is raffled off. Also this week.

Admittedly, the chance that you ‘win’ is one in 1,500 to 2,000, but if you have a chance to get a (new) rental property in Amsterdam so easily and quickly, you should definitely not miss it.
residential network
If you are looking for social housing in Amsterdam, the only website for this is WoningnetRegioAmsterdam.nl. Every week the website states that it meets the conditions.
The registration fee is 50 euros. That’s a malicious amount. After that, it will cost you 8 euros per year to be and remain registered. The latter is very important, because the longer you search (and are registered), the greater the chance that you will be invited to visit a home.
Rental lottery
In addition to the rental properties where the registration period is important, the site also regularly has rental properties that are run through a lottery. Anyone can register for this (provided you meet the conditions) and have a chance like anyone else. Registration time is therefore not important. For example, it can happen that someone registers in the afternoon in the same week and has a new home.
This week there is another lottery house on Woningnet-Amsterdam. A nice studio in the Czaar Peterbuurt, this time for young people up to the age of 28. You have to be quick, because the registration for this nice youth house conducted on Monday, December 6, 8:00 PM. Good luck!
