The rent is "all inclusive", which means that electricity, water, heating, furniture, services, household insurance and taxes are included in the monthly fee. More info

NOTE that it is not possible to pay in cash at our office.

First Payment
The terms & conditions pertaining to your housing agreement may require advance payment to finalized your reservation. If your terms & conditions do not require advance payment, your first payments may be made on arrival with either an international bank card or a credit card. 

Since we will only issue keys if the payment has been made, we strongly advise you to make your first payment from your home country so as to be able to show proof of the transfer upon arrival. Either a copy of the bank/giro transfer, or a print-out of your internet transfer will suffice.
 
Bed linen
If  bed linen is not included in the rent, it may be obtained for EUR 53,00. Each package includes a pillow, a duvet, a duvet cover and a sheet. There is no obligation to buy this package, so you are free to bring your own bed linen.
Bed linen is included on Nieuwegracht, Achter De Dom and Gisbert Bromlaan.

Payment during stay
The required fee is to be paid in accordance with the terms of your contract. This means that it should always be transferred to our account before the 1st of the month. So for example, the rent of May needs to be paid at the latest on 1 May. Around the 20th of the month before, you receive a bill in the form of a payment slip (acceptgiro in Dutch).

Please notify us if you have any problem with your payment.

How to use the payment slip
- If you have a Dutch bank account you can use internet banking to pay the rent. Make sure to enter our reference number: "betaalkenmerk acceptgiro" (field 4, see below). Or use "acceptgiro" when asked for method of payment. We do not charge costs for this way of payment.
- If you have a Dutch bank account, you can hand in this payment slip at (a branche of) your bank. Tear off the strip on the left end for your own administration (number 1, see below). Enter your account number (field 2, see below) and your signature (field 6, see below). The bank will process the payment slip and transfer the amount from your account to our account. SSH does not charge costs, usually you bank doesn't either, but check this with your bank!

Other ways of paying rent
- Of course you may also transfer the rent from your own (foreign) bank account to our bank account. Always state as much information as possible so we can process you payment swiftly: our reference number, full name, your (Dutch) address, month for which the rent is due.
