How?

Go to www.roomplaza.com for an overview of all flatshares. The reserved EUR flatshares for first year EUR International Bachelor and Master students in Rotterdam are titled “EUR 1st-year flatshare”.
Please select the flatshare you and your group would like and fill in the enquiry.
Afterwards you will be redirected to a webpage and you will be asked to pay a platform fee of € 35,-. This fee is obligated and also non-refundable, but will give you access to our Find-A-Flatmate Tool and handy information about living and studying in the Netherlands.
After paying the fee, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with your login credentials to make full use of RoomPlaza. Make sure to also check your Spam box if you haven’t received a message within a couple of minutes!
If you are still looking for flatmates to rent an flatshare with, please click on the ‘’Find a Flatmate’’ button in the top menu and search for 1st year Erasmus international students to form a group with. When you have formed a group, please make an enquiry on the flatshare you like.
Make sure that the amount of flatmates fits the amount of available flatshare in the flat you are interested in. Mandatory is that your group consists of only 1st year Erasmus international Bachelor or Master students.
After you have submitted your enquiry and all flatmates have a paid account, your enquiry will be forwarded to the property manager to be proposed to the landlord for acceptance. If the landlord accepts, your group will receive a confirmation mail and each flatmate needs to pay the Platform Success Fee of €165,- per person. After confirmation of the payments Roomplaza will inform the property manager to assist you with the next steps until the check-in.
If you have any question regarding the registration at RoomPlaza please contact: support@roomplaza.com.
