In the last quarter of 2024, student rooms became on average 5.6% more expensive, with a national average rent of €705 per month. The biggest increases were in Leiden (+17.3%), Tilburg (+16.9%) and Nijmegen (+15.2%). Amsterdam remains the most expensive with an average of €974.
The number of available rooms decreased slightly (-1%), with especially strong decreases in Leiden and Haarlem (>30%). In cities such as Zwolle, Eindhoven and Ede, supply actually increased. According to Kamernet CEO Seelmann, new regulations discourage landlords, further reducing supply.
Flat rents also rose sharply in major cities, except in Eindhoven, Groningen and Utrecht, where declines to almost 16% were recorded.
