Note: The Tenant Protection fee does not apply to properties in The Netherlands. Learn more about the fees in the Netherlands.
When you book through HousingAnywhere, you are charged the first month's rent plus a one-time Tenant Protection fee. This combined total is immediately charged once a booking request is accepted. For more information regarding what happens to your first month's rent and how you are protected as a tenant by our secure payment guarantee, click here.
HousingAnywhere only transfers the first month's rent to the landlord 48 hours after you move in. When you book with a landlord, they become your landlord and may request further payments. Before you confirm your booking, we recommend asking the landlord about additional costs and how and when they want these payments made, e.g., deposits or any other fees stated in the listing.
For secure payments, you can ask your landlord to send you payment requests (beyond the first month's rent) in the chat. You can read about this here.
