Why free rental is possible (and why most landlords don’t know this)

Most landlords believe that an agent always charges fees.
But that’s simply not true.

Rotterdam Rental Service offers a unique service:

Free rental when your property is matched directly with an expat from their existing client database.

That means:

• no start-up fees
• no mediation fees
• no hidden charges
• and the entire rental process handled for you

Why does this work?

Because RRS has a continuous flow of expats from major international companies such as Fluor, Oceanco, Vinci, MediaMarkt and many others.

If your property fits perfectly with one of their active housing requests → the expat (or their employer) pays, not you as the landlord.

How does free rental work exactly?

1. You register your property

Via the official page: https://www.rotterdamrentalservice.com/gratis-verhuur

2. Your property is matched with existing expat requests

It’s only free if an expat already in their network matches your property.

3. You receive screening, documents, and a proposal

Everything is handled for you: viewings, screening, feedback, reporting.

4. You pay €0 when a direct match is made

For optional services (contract, inspection report), you can choose additional support.

Question: Is your property suitable for free rental?

Rotterdam Rental Service looks at:

✔ 1. Location (Centre, Kralingen, Scheepvaartkwartier, Hillegersberg, Prins Alexander)
✔ 2. Rental price between €1,250 – €2,150 per month
✔ 3. Minimum availability of 12 months
✔ 4. Preferably: furnished or semi-furnished
✔ 5. Good condition + photos (RRS can arrange professional photography)

If your property matches these criteria,
there is a high chance you can rent out your property for free.

Why expats & international students are ideal tenants for landlords

✔ Reliable income (expats work on contract basis)
✔ Often backed by international employers
✔ Always searching for clean, well-maintained properties
✔ Lower risk of payment issues
✔ Usually rent for 12–24 months

This makes expats one of the most reliable tenant groups in Rotterdam.
