Entree.

Registration steps

1. 1Browse the offer at https://www.entree.nu - the full listing overview is visible without an account
2. 2Register for free at https://www.entree.nu/inschrijven/ - Entree charges no registration fee
3. 3At step 1 choose the registration type: 'Huurwoningen' (rental homes) or 'Overig aanbod' (parking space, garage or storage)
4. 4Conditions: you are 18 or older and you are legally allowed to live in the Netherlands
5. 5Complete the form: personal details, contact details, any co-residents, income and login details
6. 6From your registration date you build up 'meettijd' (accrued time), which counts for homes allocated by the meettijd method
7. 7Log in and respond to an advertisement before its closing date; for lottery ('loting') and 'direct te huur' homes your meettijd is irrelevant
8. 8On a match the offering housing association invites you for a viewing and then requests your income and personal documents for the statutory income test

Tips for applying

• •Entree has no customer service desk of its own: questions about registration time, allocation or your data go to one of the affiliated housing associations (contact list per municipality at https://www.entree.nu/contact/)
• •Question about a specific advertisement? Contact the housing association offering that home - its name and contact details are at the bottom right of the ad
• •Check the allocation method on every ad: 'meettijd' (your accrued time decides), 'loting' (lottery, everyone who qualifies has an equal chance) or 'direct te huur' (first come, first served)
• •Just registered? Focus on lottery and direct-te-huur ads; with meettijd you stand no chance without accrued time
• •With a lottery win, not responding to a viewing invitation carries penalties - read the conditions in the tooltip on the ad
• •Registration is free, including for non-residential offers such as garages and parking spaces
• •Save a WoonWens profile and switch on the e-mail tip alert to receive matching new listings automatically
• •Social housing is allocated by income: your income decides which rent bracket you may respond to (explanation at https://www.entree.nu/passend-toewijzen-uitleg/)
• •Homes in Andelst, Hemmen, Herveld, Oosterhout, Slijk-Ewijk, Valburg and Zetten are not on Entree but on wstvalburg.nl; Montferland runs via thuisindeachterhoek.nl
• •According to the registration form, refugees from Ukraine covered by the RTB scheme are not permitted to rent social housing in this region
