18 years and older: register as a home seeker

To apply for a rental property from Wetland Wonen, it's important to be registered as a house seeker with De Woningzoeker. People often don't realize they need to register as a house seeker. However, it's important to register. Once you're registered, you accrue a registration period. This is important if you want to be eligible for a property you apply for. You can easily remain registered for several years. You'll automatically receive an annual notification regarding renewal. If you respond promptly, you'll remain registered.

It's important that you're registered with the housing association you want to rent from. Once you're registered, you accrue a registration fee. 

This registration period is important when allocating housing.

Suppose you qualify for a home, but the other person on the list has been registered longer and has therefore accumulated more registration time, then the home will pass you by. So register on time. You can do this on the Woningzoeker website: www.dewoningzoeker.nl

You'll then receive an annual notification asking if you want to renew your registration. You'll have to do this yourself; you can also do this through the Woningzoeker website. If you're having trouble or don't have a computer, visit the Wetland Wonen office. They can also assist you.

Once you're registered, it's also important to ensure your information, such as income (and family composition), is correct. We recommend checking this information regularly. This can prevent disappointment.

Seniors and the importance of registering as a home seeker
