To be eligible for a home, it is important that you can meet the income guidelines. As a tenant, you must comply with these guidelines yourself, third-party guarantees are not possible. In addition, it is important that you do not have a negative BKR registration.
As soon as the rental starts, you can start the online registration process. Here you will be asked to enter information about your income. Based on the documents that are requested, it is then checked whether you meet the income requirement.
Yes of course! As an entrepreneur you can rent an apartment if you have your own company for at least 1 year and meet the income requirements. We will ask for a financial statement of a closed financial year, prepared by an accountant or trust office. The result ( net profit before tax) will be used as your year income. The average net winst over multiple years will be used as your gross income.
It is good to know that we ask entrepreneurs for a deposit of 3 months rent at the time of signing the rental agreement. The deposit needs to be in possession of the landlord before the key handover.
The following income guidelines apply:
Minimum gross monthly income (including holiday pay and any fixed year-end bonuses) of 3.5 x monthly rent.
– With two family incomes, the second income counts for 100%.
– Retired: the sum of AOW and any net pension is at least equal to 3 x the monthly rent. Possibly supplemented with sufficient equity to be able to make up the shortfall on the income guideline in the long term.
– Self-employed:
> a net profit before tax demonstrable against the above-mentioned income guideline;
> you have been doing business for at least a full financial year.
If the income requirements are not fully met, a deposit may be requested.
To rent an apartment in Westbeat, it is important that you are able to pay the rent every month. That is why you have to meet the following income requirements to be eligible for an apartment:

Equity
If you have equity on a Dutch bank account and this is important to include in the calculation, we will count 10% of the equity as income on top of the other annual income. Equity starting from € 50,000.00 can be included in the calculation. In addition to your equity, there must also be a fixed income.

No. As an on-call, temporary or flex worker you have less certainty about your income, your gross salary can change every month. Only guaranteed/fixed income count when calculating gross income.
