Criteria taken into account in the allocation process:

• Responsiveness

Expat Rental Services bv ensures that owners and managers apply the rule on a first-come, first-served basis. With many responses to a popular property, it can happen that certain prospective tenants are rejected or are not even invited for a viewing

• Source of income/type of employment contract

An employment contract for an (in)definite period is preferred by many homeowners. This provides them with high financial security. Self-employed persons and other sources of income such as alimony, an internship allowance, a guarantee by third parties, an inheritance, rental income, etc. can also lead to obtaining a rental property, this requires an individual assessment.

• A positive screening of identity document and solvency

A prospective tenant can only be allocated a property on the condition that his identity can be verified and his financial capacity is sufficient. To assess this, Expat Rental Services bv carries out a screening. Part of this screening is a manual check for security features of the identity document. This check can be carried out, for example, with  the DutchID App of the Dutch government. The outcome of this screening may lead to rejection.

• Selection by the client

For each property offered, the owner of the property ultimately makes the choice between the prospective tenants.
