The NOS has investigated that people are increasingly outbidding on rental properties. For houses we know it for a long time: bidding above the asking price because you have many competitors and you really want a house. Particularly in the Randstad is overbidding on rental properties increasingly common, according to a tour of the NOS at rental agencies and intermediaries. From this tour shows that people offer on average 10% more than the requested rent.
Because of the tightness in the rental market, overbidding has become a way to get a rental property. A maximum rent can help put an end to this. Read the entire NOS report here.
