Indication income requirement
The calculation on our website is indicative and there cannot be derived any rights. If you would like to know the exact possibilities, you can call our contactcenter at 088- 5207000.
Income check
The minimal renting period will be one year and after we have a subject of 1 months’ notice.
In order to be eligible to rent one of the apartments or family homes, you have to take in account our income requirement. This is different for every project. That’s the reason why we work with an indicative income requirement:
* If you are a sole wage earner, your annual income must be at least between 45 and 55 times (depending on the owner) the gross monthly rent. If you divide your gross annual income by 45 or 55, you will see which apartments you can apply for. (For instance: if the renting price is € 1000 per month, your gross annual income must be € 45 000 or € 55 000).
* If you are a dual income household, your dual income must be between 60 and 70 times the monthly rent. The applicant’s gross salary, of the person with the highest income, should be at least 40 times the monthly rent per year. The applicant with the lowest income should earn at least 25 times the gross monthly rent in a year.
* In order to be able to meet the income requirement you can add 10% of any assets you own to your gross annual income. If you wish to do so, please enclose copies of documents such as bank statements that shows these assets.
These requirements are the owners’ guidelines and are different for every owner and project!
