Furnished apartments for relocating teams, with a Dutch tenancy agreement and a registered address.
Fully furnished apartments in Amsterdam at one all-inclusive monthly figure, invoiced directly to your company or mobility provider. Ready for your team within days, even as Amsterdam's rental market gets tighter every quarter.
What Are Corporate Rentals in Amsterdam?
Corporate rentals are fully furnished, self-contained homes arranged for employees on assignment, relocation, or project-based contracts. They give your people a proper home: a real kitchen, a workspace, a living area, and a registered address.
City Retreat has let furnished homes to relocating employees in Amsterdam since 2012, working directly with HR teams, mobility managers and relocation agencies to make the process straightforward. We handle the accommodation side so your team can focus on the work.
The agreement is the same for every tenancy, so your legal team reads it once. Every home is let on a residential tenancy agreement for an indefinite period. You can give one calendar month's notice once the initial period in your agreement has passed. Your employee registers in the BRP at the address.
Demand for this kind of ready-to-live-in home has grown sharply as Amsterdam's rental market has tightened. As we cover in our look at why candidates are rejecting Amsterdam job offers, average rents reached €28.53/m² in Q1 2026 and the Netherlands has a housing shortage of around 410,000 homes. That makes it harder than ever for newcomers to secure a private rental on their own. Corporate rentals remove that uncertainty from day one.
HR & Mobility Invoicing
We invoice directly to your company or mobility provider. No employee out-of-pocket expense.
Move-In Ready
Every apartment is inspected, furnished and equipped before your employee moves in. Zero setup required.
All-Inclusive Pricing
One monthly figure covers rent, utilities, Wi-Fi and linen. Simple to budget, simple to invoice.
No Dutch Payslips Needed
We don't ask for Dutch payslips or a minimum salary multiple. A hire on an international contract rents on the same footing as anyone else.
BRP Registration
Your employee registers in the BRP at the address. The BSN follows, and with it banking, healthcare and payroll.
Dedicated Support
Our local team handles maintenance, queries and any issues within 48 hours. Your employee is never left chasing.
City Retreat or the Open Market?
Your new hire could find a home on the open market, and some do. What they end up with is the same: a kitchen, a living room, a registered address. The problem is the timetable. Amsterdam's private rental market is currently too competitive to rely on for a fast start date, and private landlords tend to ask for Dutch payslips and a minimum salary multiple that someone on an international contract cannot show yet.
With City Retreat the home is available within days, the price is one all-inclusive figure and the invoice goes to the company. Your employee has a real home environment from the outset, which research consistently links to better productivity, wellbeing and retention on assignment.
The BSN (citizen service number) is required to open a Dutch bank account, access healthcare and complete payroll registration in the Netherlands. It follows from registration in the BRP, which your employee does at the address of the home.
Corporate Rental Costs in Amsterdam
All City Retreat rates are all-inclusive — one figure covering rent, utilities, Wi-Fi, furnishings and linen. No hidden costs, no separate bills, no surprises on the invoice. Straightforward to budget and straightforward to invoice.
Electricity, water, gas, high-speed Wi-Fi, fully furnished interiors, kitchen equipment, bed linen and towels, and ongoing maintenance support. City Retreat arranges a professional clean before you move in and at the end of the tenancy. Cleaning during the tenancy can be requested at extra cost with four days' notice. The monthly figure you agree is the figure you pay, a useful fixed point against a private rental market where Amsterdam asking rents rose another 5.1% in the year to Q1 2026.
How City Retreat Works with HR and Mobility Managers
We've built our corporate process around what HR teams and relocation agencies actually need: fast turnaround, clean invoicing and reliable communication throughout the tenancy, not just at the start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can City Retreat invoice our company directly?
Yes. We invoice directly to your company, mobility provider or relocation agency, whichever arrangement suits your process. We can accommodate different invoicing structures and are happy to discuss corporate account arrangements for ongoing or multiple rentals.
How quickly can a new hire move in?
Often within a few days of confirming the rental, subject to availability. For urgent relocations, contact us directly and we'll prioritise finding a suitable option as quickly as possible.
How does the employee get a BSN?
The same way every City Retreat tenant does. Your employee registers in the BRP at the address within five days of moving in. We send them the instructions before the tenancy starts. Their BSN follows from registration. A bank account and payroll registration both wait on that number.
Do you handle multiple rentals for the same company?
Yes. A significant share of our corporate clients rent several apartments across the year for different team members. We can set up a corporate account arrangement to streamline renting and invoicing for repeat clients.
Does the employee need a Dutch employment contract to qualify?
No. Unlike private landlords in Amsterdam, we don't require Dutch payslips or a minimum salary multiple. This makes us particularly suitable for employees arriving ahead of their start date, on international contracts, or on project-based assignments.
Why are corporate rentals especially important in Amsterdam right now?
Amsterdam's rental market is under sustained pressure: average rents reached €28.53/m² in Q1 2026 (up 5.1% year-on-year), and the Netherlands has a housing shortage of roughly 410,000 homes. That makes it increasingly difficult for newcomers to secure a private rental quickly, which is exactly the gap corporate rentals fill.
