Rent a room in Haarlem
If you are an exchange student, you can rent a furnished room provided by Inholland at the Schoonzichtlaan apartment building for one semester or an entire academic year. Please note that we have very limited rooms available.
Please note: We only have a very limited number of rooms available. Please check our website for alternative options for housing. We strongly advise you to search for a room yourself with help of the websites and tips we have stated on our housing page, even when you have also applied for a room through Inholland.
When you apply for a room via Inholland, you commit to paying the rent for a minimum of 1 semester. It is not possible to cancel the tenancy agreement before the end date of the contract.
Fixed renting periods for academic year 2025/2026
The application Forms for Spring semester 2025-26 opens on 15 November 2025 9AM CET. The deadline to fill out the form is 24 November 9AM CET. During this period, you can apply through the 'Apply now' button below. Please make sure to apply as soon as possible on 15 November at 9AM, as we work on a first come, first served basis.

What happens after my application?
Within one week after the application deadline (24 November), we will offer you a room if available. You will receive an email from DUWO/ROOM about activating your account. Please notice that this is the only offer that you will receive. If you reject the offer, you will not receive another one. Be prepared to take actions when you receive e-mails (check your spam folder!) and make sure you have the money for the first payment ready.

At Schoonzichtlaan, when renting a single room, you have your own bedroom in a six- or eight-room apartment. Each bedroom has its own bathroom with toilet. The living room and kitchen are shared.
You may also rent a shared room. In that case, the bedroom, bathroom and toilet are shared with one other student. You will share the living room and kitchen with all students in the apartment.
All rooms are furnished, designated for students from abroad. For a list of the inventory, please check the website of DUWO.
The apartments are usually mixed-gender (male and female students in 1 apartment), but the shared bedrooms are always either male or female, so not mixed-gender.
Prices 2025-2026
The rent prices differ per type of room, but always include gas, water, electricity, local taxes, tv and wired internet.
More information about the rooms, inventory and payments you can find here.
