TU/e can mediate in finding housing for international (staff and students).
TU/e will try to mediate in finding housing via Vestide (non-commercial housing corporation of the city of Eindhoven). If Vestide cannot supply suitable accommodation, TU/e will contact commercial housing agencies. Please note in that in the latter case the guest will have to pay a mediation fee to the housing agency and that the rent via these agencies is higher than the rent via Vestide.
In order to be able to guarantee that housing is available on your arrival, the application form for housing needs to be at STU/IO at least two months before your arrival.
You can change the information on the application form up to one month before your arrival by contacting the International Relations Office (
io@remove-this.tue.nl). After this date, rent will be charged as from the date of reservation, even if you arrive later.
TU/e will try to find housing that meets the preferences stated on your application form.
The TU/e housing service is a blind-date arrangement, which means that you cannot view the accommodation beforehand. You are however able to preview your accommodation from the outside through Google maps as TU/e supplies you with the full address within x weeks before your arrival.
A few weeks before your arrival date you will receive an e-mail with your new address in Eindhoven, information on your rent and deposit, on how to pay these costs, and on when and where you can collect your keys.
In exceptional cases the TU/e will not be able to guarantee that housing is available for you on the exact date mentioned on your application. In that case we advise you to book a hotel.
Staff will receive a rental agreement for the duration of their stay with a maximum of 12 months.
Bachelor and master students will recieve a rental agreement for the duration of one year, starting in August.
Exchange students receive a rental agreement for the duration of 1 or 2 semesters.
You can apply for a renewal of your contract. You need a permission letter from TU/e to apply for the renewal. If you are a student you can request this letter by Mrs. Peggy van de Voort (
p.v.d.voort@remove-this.tue.nl). You need to take the letter to Vestide at least six weeks before the end date of your rental agreement. If you are an employee/guest you can request the letter from TU/e at your personnel department.
You can stay in your accommodation for a maximum period of two months after your commitment to TU/e has ended.
