Get Verified. Get Tenants.

We require a one-time identity check for all landlords. This keeps scammers out and helps you build instant trust with international students.

Why is this mandatory?

Stop the Scammers

Groningen is targeted by international scammers who steal photos and fake listings. By verifying your ID, you prove you are a real person with a real presence in the Netherlands.

Earn the Badge

Verified landlords get a green Verified Host badge on their profile. Listings with this badge get 3x more clicks because students are trained to look for it.
