Rent an apartment in Rotterdam

Rotterdam is a popular destination for internationals relocating to the Netherlands, offering a mix of well-connected public transport, established expat communities, and rental neighbourhoods to suit different budgets and lifestyles. Most areas are served by frequent bus, tram, or train links, making a car unnecessary for daily commuting.

Once you've secured a rental in Rotterdam, you'll need to register your address with the local municipality (gemeente) within five days of moving in — this is required to obtain your BSN (citizen service number) if you haven't already, and to access healthcare, banking, and other essential services. Onetime Housing guides tenants through this process as part of the move-in support included with every reservation.

Whether you're looking for a compact studio near the city centre or a family-sized apartment in a quieter residential neighbourhood, our listings in Rotterdam are verified and updated regularly, with full support from application through to signing your contract.
