Thuis in Limburg is a housing platform in the Netherlands that specializes in social housing within the Limburg province. It is a collaboration of 16 housing corporations in the province of Limburg. Together, these corporations rent out over 120,000 homes via the Thuis in Limburg website.
The website is user-friendly and available in multiple languages, which you can select from the top-right corner of the page.
To get started, browse the available homes to see if any fit your criteria. You’ll notice that the prices are low because these are social housing units intended for individuals earning below a certain income threshold. If you find homes that interest you or anticipate future listings that may suit your needs, you will have to register on the website. Registration is free and available to anyone aged 18 or over.
First, you will have to create an account. Click on To enrol button in the top right corner of the website. Then, select Start registration.
Provide your personal information and, if applicable, details about your partner. You’ll also need to indicate whether you currently live in a rental home or an owner-occupied home.
Choose a username and password, and agree to the terms and conditions.
After registering, you’ll gain access to your personal dashboard, where you can track your applications. You’ll be prompted to fill in your income details for the preceding year. Based on this information, the platform will display only the homes for which you are eligible.
When you find a home you’d like to apply for, you can submit your application directly through the platform. Tenants are selected using one of three methods:
Registering on Thuis in Limburg is completely free. There are no fees associated with creating an account or applying for housing. Anyone aged 18 or over can register on the platform.
The properties listed are social housing units with rental prices regulated by the government. This means the rents are generally lower than market rates, making them affordable for individuals and families with lower incomes.
Only people earning below a certain income threshold are eligible to apply. The exact income limits are set annually and can vary based on household size and composition.
Monthly rents typically range from €400 to €900, depending on the size, location, and amenities of the property. The rent usually covers the basic cost of the property. Utilities and other services are generally not included and must be arranged separately.
Thuis in Limburg has many reviews online, including on VergelijkWoningcorporaties and Facebook. Common complaints are about maintenance issues, but it’s important to note that Thuis in Limburg only lists homes from housing corporations and is not responsible for maintenance. Many are also unhappy with the selection process, but it's hard to say it's website's fault: this rather reflects the housing shortage in the country, where hundreds of people often apply for a single home.
Thuis in Limburg covers Limburg and the southern part of North Brabant.
Only official housing corporations that are part of the Thuis in Limburg network can add listings to the platform. The platform collaborates with multiple housing corporations within the Limburg province, such as Wonen Limburg, Weller, and Zaam Wonen, among others. Individual landlords, rental agents and private property owners are not permitted to list properties on Thuis in Limburg.

In the past, many people used Google Sheets or Notion databases to track their rental applications — or didn’t track them at all — leading to missed opportunities and forgotten applications. With Uprent, every application is automatically saved to your dashboard. This allows you to easily manage and monitor all your applications in one place. Uprent also sends reminders for important follow-ups and automates tasks like creating Google Calendar events for viewings. You can even share your dashboard with your flatmate, allowing you to collaborate on the rental search.
