Temporary Student Rentals in Tilburg? They Cost Up to €1,750 a Month

Students can quickly find themselves paying €600 a month in rent, but much more expensive properties are also available. Through rental platform ResiSolid, students can rent spacious apartments for up to €1,750 a month. The rentals come with strict financial requirements, and students must move out within a year.

The apartments, including those in the StadsHeer building on Spoorlaan, are available for a maximum of twelve months to people in need of temporary accommodation. Rental platform ResiSolid caters to students and co-parents, for example following a divorce or another change in family circumstances.

Students regularly move to Tilburg from other parts of the Netherlands or from abroad to pursue their studies, Schep Woningmanagers, the property manager, told Univers. According to the company, these students often need accommodation for a limited period.

Larger than most student rooms

The apartments currently cost between €1,125 and €1,750 a month, excluding service charges. The largest properties measure more than 140 square metres. Where an apartment is suitable, up to two students are allowed to share it.

ResiSolid’s apartments are considerably larger than the average student room, but they are also more expensive. With a monthly base rent of €1,750, two students would each pay €875 a month if they split the rent equally.

Hard to reconcile

The question is how well these properties meet the needs of students looking for affordable accommodation. The apartments offer more space and the option of living together, but even when shared, the rent is considerably higher than what students typically pay.

According to Kamernet, the median monthly rent for a student room in Tilburg was €595 in the second quarter of 2026. This means that half of the rooms listed for rent were cheaper than €595 a month, while the other half were more expensive.

Evy Schipper, a student of Marketing Management, questions the rental prices. “In my experience, such a high price is completely out of proportion to the financial situation of many students. Students should already consider themselves lucky if they can find a 16-square-metre room for €500 a month. I think €1,750 is completely unrealistic, and I doubt students will be interested in these properties.”

High income requirement

To rent an apartment, students must earn a combined income of at least one and a half times the monthly base rent, according to ResiSolid. “Because two people can share an apartment, they can meet this income requirement together,” says Jeroen Verheij of ResiSolid.

For an apartment costing €1,750 a month, that amounts to a combined income of €2,625. If two students share the property, each would need to earn an average of €1,312.50 a month. That is a substantial sum. “We mainly target students who have jobs,” Verheij explains.

Janneke Ringens, a student of Communication and Information Sciences, finds the rental prices and income requirements difficult to reconcile with students’ financial means. “I think very few young people can easily come up with €1,750 a month, let alone earn one and a half times the base rent on top of that.”

Guarantor required

In addition to the income requirement, ResiSolid asks tenants to pay a security deposit equivalent to two months’ base rent. For an apartment costing €1,750 a month, that means an upfront payment of another €3,500. Students must also provide a guarantor who can demonstrate at least €50,000 in available personal assets.

Jeroen Verheij of ResiSolid says a guarantor is always required. Adam Bawey of Schep Woningmanagers, however, says students who do not meet the income requirement can use a guarantor. The two parties therefore offer different interpretations of the rental conditions.

One year is a short time

It is unclear why the apartments are only available for a maximum of one year. Since 1 July 2024, permanent tenancy agreements have once again been the norm in the Netherlands. Certain groups, including students renting a room in a different city, may be offered temporary room rentals for up to two years.

But renting a room for just one year? That is a very short time, says Communication and Information Sciences student Janneke. “Temporary rentals are a pain, and a year is shorter than you think. It can sometimes take months before a new place really starts to feel like home. Being allowed to live somewhere for just one year is stressful and uncomfortable.”

A fallback address

Some students have to start looking for accommodation all over again when their tenancy agreement expires. Staying longer in a ResiSolid property, for example because their studies take longer than expected, is not an option under the rental conditions.

Students must be able to provide an address where they can stay once their temporary tenancy agreement ends. In practice, this fallback address is usually their parents’ home, according to Jeroen Verheij. He says ResiSolid wants to prevent tenants from finding themselves without accommodation when their rental period comes to an end.
