Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Uprent for home searchers and how does it work?

  A core feature of Uprent is Bob AI, a service that fully automates your home search in The Netherlands. Bob searches all available homes, auto-submits viewing requests on your behalf, and handles the initial communication with landlords.
  
  Beyond Bob AI, Uprent provides a full suite of tools to manage your search:

  • A centralized Feed that pulls in listings from all 244 Dutch rental sites into one place. As a result, you see up to 4x more homes than on Funda.
  • Instant Alerts to your email or phone every time a new home that fits your criteria comes on the market. That way you are the first to apply. Except for the users of Bob AI, of course.
  • Board where you can save homes you like, add your own notes, and share it with a partner or friend to keep everything organized.
  • And when you‘ve found a place, Uprent‘s AI can also analyze your Dutch rental agreement. Simply upload the contract, and the system will break down the important clauses into simple, plain English.

• What is Uprent for landlords and how does it work?

  Landlords can list their property on Uprent at no cost. Our team will handle everything: visit the property, create a professional 360° tour, market the home on Uprent and other major platforms, and facilitate the entire process right through to check-in.

• Is Uprent really free for home searchers?

  Yes, many of Uprent‘s core features, including Browse and applying for homes listed directly on our platform, are completely free. You can choose to upgrade to a premium account to make your search faster with tools like Bob AI. When you create an account, you‘ll get a 5-day free trial of all premium features to try it out. No credit card is required.

• How much does Uprent charge landlords?

  Listing your property is completely free. We operate on a no-cure-no-pay basis, which means you only pay a commission if we successfully find you a tenant. Our fee is 10% of the first month‘s rent, a fraction of what traditional rental agents charge, while many landlords call their experience even smoother.

• Your site says Uprent users are 3x more likely to land a viewing. How is that possible?

  This "unfair advantage" comes from a combination of our features working together:

  1. See more, faster: You see more available properties from across the market in one place, and our alerts ensure you're among the first to know.
  2. Apply instantly: Our AI agent, Bob, can auto-submit viewing requests the moment a matching property appears, putting you ahead of the competition.
  3. Smarter search: With our advanced filters, you only spend time on properties that are a perfect fit, making your applications more targeted and successful.

• What exactly does "Bob the AI agent" do?

  Bob is your personal AI rental assistant that handles the most time-consuming parts of the search. Its key functions are:

  • Constant searching: Bob scans the entire market 24/7 based on your criteria.
  • Intelligent matching: It decides if a new listing is a good match for you.
  • Auto-submitting requests: It can automatically send viewing requests on your behalf.
  • Initial communication: It can even handle the first-line communication with landlords to secure a viewing slot.

• How powerful are the search filters? Can I do more than just filter by city and price?

  Absolutely. We offer what we call "ridiculously precise filters". Beyond the basics, you can:

  • Filter homes by your maximum travel time to a specific address (like your office or university).
  • Draw your own custom search zone directly on a map.
  • Choose from over 31 other ultra-precise filters to narrow down to your perfect home.

• Can Uprent help me understand my Dutch rental contract?

  Yes. The Dutch rental market has its complexities, and contracts can be confusing. You can upload your rental agreement to the Uprent platform, and our AI will analyze it for you. It breaks down key clauses—like termination terms, rent increases, and deposit rules—into simple, plain English.

• What makes Uprent more effective than other housing platforms?

  The advantage comes from our AI agent, Bob. It works 24/7 to find matching homes and can instantly apply for viewings, putting you first in line. This is why our users are 3x more likely to land a viewing. We also show you up to 4 times more homes than other sites by combining listings from 244 platforms with properties listed directly by landlords. Even our standard Alerts are more powerful than on other platforms; they include AI summaries, advanced filters, instant travel time checks, and help you create a viewing request message.
