International Students Face Housing Crisis

International students in the Netherlands are facing a housing crisis as unsafe conditions, scams, and shrinking support systems leave them vulnerable. The LSVb reports 263 urgent calls this year, including cases of no-window rooms, bedbug infestations, and lost deposits. With cities like Utrecht and Rotterdam slashing funding for tenant aid teams—and fewer landlords entering the market due to new rules—students are struggling to find safe, legal housing. Some universities now advise students to wait until housing is secured. While the union’s hotline offers help, experts say more systemic support is urgently needed.
