Uprent does. Each time you apply, your application is saved to your Board - a CRM-style overview of every rental you’re pursuing. As you move applications from one stage to another, tasks are automated. You can apply in a single click, schedule viewings with Google Calendar, and receive timely reminders. Uprent also helps you draft a solid rental offer after a viewing if you want to move forward with the property.

Contract review

Contract review has become increasingly important following changes in rental legislation on July 1st, 2024, and January 1st, 2025 (Wet Betaalbare Huur / Affordable Rent Act). There’s a lot of uncertainty about which clauses are legal and which aren’t. Most contracts are long, in Dutch, which is challenging even for native speakers, let alone newcomers.
