Flexible Rental Periods

We specialize in short-term rentals, offering flexibility for you as a property owner. This means you can rent out your property without long-term commitments.

Furniture

Turn-key Rentals for Maximum Results

A well-furnished property is more attractive, rents faster, and generally provides a higher return. That’s why we offer professional furniture and styling services for owners who want to present their property in the best possible way. This service is ideal for the short-term rental market, where tenants are increasingly seeking fully furnished, move-in ready homes. Thanks to our years of experience in property rentals, we know exactly how to style a property to make it stand out.

Our styling is modern, tasteful, and focused on comfort. Here’s what we offer:

Complete furnishing of living room, kitchen, bedroom(s), and bathroom;
Attention to detail, atmosphere, and finishing touches;
Use of durable, stylish furniture and accessories;
Delivery in a “turn-key” state: ready for immediate occupancy.

Styling

Why Furnish?

Higher Return: Furnished properties generally generate higher rental income than unfurnished ones;
Faster Renting: A stylishly furnished home makes an immediate impact and requires less decision time from tenants;
Minimal Damage: Since tenants don’t need to move their own furniture, your property remains better protected;
A Requirement for Expats: International tenants often expect a fully furnished property and will only bring personal belongings with them.

Experience in the Expat Market

Experience

Swan Short Stay operates in a market where flexibility and quality are key. A large portion of our tenants consists of international young professionals and expats who temporarily stay in the Netherlands for work. Thanks to our partnerships with relocation agencies, HR departments of multinationals, and international companies, we know exactly what this target group is looking for, and what it means for you as a landlord.

Fixed-Term Rental Contracts Legislation

Contract

Starting July 1, 2024, fixed-term rental contracts will be the standard for all landlords. This applies to both self-contained living spaces and non-self-contained living spaces (rooms). The Fixed-Term Rental Contracts Act aims to better protect tenants. However, there are still opportunities for landlords to enter into temporary rental agreements.

According to the new law, landlords can still enter into a fixed-term rental agreement (for a maximum of two years) under the following circumstances:

Students who temporarily rent in another municipality for their studies, different from where they live;
People who, due to work or renovations on their own home, need to temporarily live elsewhere;
Couples who are going through a divorce, no longer live together, and temporarily rent a property to be closer to their children.

Additionally, landlords can still enter into a rental agreement with a tenant that is "short-term by nature." Case law shows that for a rental agreement to be considered “short-term by nature,” the temporary nature of the rental must be in the interest of both the landlord and the tenant. Therefore, renting a property for a short period is still possible in certain specific cases.

You can think of the following target groups:

People who need to temporarily leave their home due to fire or water damage;
People who are between two homes, looking for temporary accommodation;
Foreign companies that need to house their staff in the Netherlands temporarily for a project;
Tourists (for example, through Airbnb).

In addition, owners of vacation homes or 'aparthotels' can also temporarily rent out their properties.

Own property

Temporarily Renting Out Your Own Property?

Another option is temporarily renting out your OWN property when you go abroad for work, vacation, or studies. This is known as "interim renting" or the diplomat clause. Your tenant will leave the property when you return. Clear agreements should be made with the tenant regarding this. Expats, for example, often take advantage of this arrangement as they frequently relocate abroad for work.

Taxed

VAT-Taxed 'Short Stay' Rentals

We specialize in renting properties under the VAT scheme. In this case, your property is rented out for short stays of up to 6 months. The main advantage of this setup is that you are eligible for a significant VAT refund. It’s important to seek proper advice from your tax advisor and also inquire with your local municipality about the available options.
