RENT The rental price is all in. This means the costs for gas, water, electricity, internet, TV, furnishing, city taxes, service charges and management costs are included. The all in rental price for a type A studio is 679, per month. The all in rental price consists of the basic rent ( 500, ) and the charges as mentioned above ( 179, ). RENT ALLOWANCE The amount of rent that you as an international student will have to pay yourself is only 425 per month. The condition is that you are 23 years of age or older and you apply for rent allowance. If you are under 23 years old the rent you have to pay is 679,. When you are an employee of TU/e (PdEng student, PhD, student or Post Doc) or you are a short stay guest (less than 4 months), you will have to pay the rent of 679, per month to Eindhoven2stay. You can apply for rent allowance. Rent allowance is a subsidy provided by the government to residents on a low income with a high rent. The foundation Eindhoven2stay will arrange the application with you upon your arrival. The amount of rent allowance that you will receive depends on your yearly gross income and the amount of savings that you have. In 2014, the approx. amount that can receive as rent allowance is as follows: Yearly gross income Approx. amount of allowance per month 0 to 15.000 256 16.000 232 17.000 206 18.000 178 19.000 148 20.000 to 21.600 Less than 117 to 75 More than 21.600 No rent allowance (In any case your savings may not exceed the amount of 21.139) When you are a student of TU/e (not an employee), you are obligated to transfer the amount of rent allowance that you receive to the landlord. Every month you pay 425 (yourself) plus the amount that you receive as rent allowance. In case you do not receive any rent allowance, other than for the reasons your income is too high, you are living together with your partner or you are not 23 years old yet, you can ask the foundation for a special request about the rent amount. Since the application for rent allowance takes time, you will probably not receive any rent allowance during the first 2 to 3 months in The Netherlands. Therefore the amount you need to pay to the landlord during the time you do not yet receive rent allowance is set at 425. When you start receiving rent allowance the payable amount is increased. After you have start receiving the rent allowance payments from government, the foundation will inform you about the amount you still need to pay as back rent over the first months. This paragraph only applies to students of TU/e.
COSTS AND PROCEDURES When you start renting: Besides the rent a deposit of 679 is required. The deposit will be returned when you vacate the accommodation (and the accommodation is in the condition it was when you moved in). The deposit needs to be paid before you move in. Eindhoven2stay will charge you a onetime administration fee of 181,50. The administration fee needs to be paid to reserve the studio and receive the rental agreement. This fee is not refundable. This fee includes the application for rent allowance, the contract, the check in inspection and the checkout inspection. The (partial) first month s rent needs to be paid one week before you move in. After the first month the rent payments are done by automatic withdrawal from your bank account every last regular working day of the month. On this day Eindhoven2Stay will collect the rent for the upcoming month. Tax declaration At the beginning of every year, you will have to make your tax declaration over the year that has passed. The foundation Eindhoven2stay can be of your assistance. The Dutch tax institute is called De Belastingdienst. After you have made your tax declaration 3 results are possible: 1. You do not receive any money from De Belastingdienst and you do not need to pay any money to the De Belastingdienst, since the amount of rent allowance that you have received was correct. 2. You will receive a refund from De Belastingdienst, since you have received less rent allowance than you were entitled to. 3. You will have to pay an amount to De Belastingdienst, since you have received more rent allowance than you were entitled to. This result would be caused by a misstatement of fact up front of your rental period. What do these results mean for you? 1 You do not have to do anything. 2 You will receive an amount on your bank account from De Belastingdienst. This amount is additional rent allowance. Therefore this amount needs to be transferred by you to the foundation. 3 De Belastingdienst will send you an invoice with an amount that you have to pay. You need to pay this amount to De Belastingdienst. Rental agreement You will receive a rental agreement that allows you to stay in your accommodation for the full period of your study. You do not need to apply for any extensions of your rental agreement. You may end the rental agreement with a notice period of one calendar month at any moment. When you end the agreement, you need to inform De Belastingdienst, since this will have consequences for the rent allowance. The foundation can assist you with this. Upon arrival In the week prior to the TU/e Introduction Program, a Meet and Greet Service from TU/e will be available from 6 up to and including 8 August. More information can be found on the practical information website of TU/e. A taxi service will be available these days to take you from TU/e to your accommodation. There you
will sign your rental agreement, and receive your keys. The foundation will then also make an appointment with you to fill out the application for rent allowance (this can be done after you have received your BSN number). During the TIP you will register yourself at the town hall. A little while after your registration you will receive a letter with your BSN number. The procedure When you choose a studio at Mauritsstraat and one has been allotted to you, Eindhoven2stay will send you an e mail about the procedure. Eindhoven2stay will point a random studio to all the TU/e tenants. You will receive an e mail from them with an application to upload your personal information needed to make up the rental agreement. After that you will receive the contract and a link to pay the deposit and administration fee. You can pay this first payment by bank transfer or with credit card. One week before your arrival the (partial) rent for August has to be paid. You will receive a reminder concerning this payment. This payment can be made with bank transfer or credit card as well. You do not have to send a signed copy of your contract. Together with an employee of Eindhoven2stay you will sign all documents during the check in at the studio in Mauritsstraat.
