Socius is a housing agency for mostly young people. We house anyone between the ages of, roughly, 18 – 30. Some of our locations are exclusively for students. This is the case for TWA (in Amsterdam) and Nano (in Wageningen). Accommodation becomes available when a tenant moves out. This means that we do not have several rooms or apartments in store that we can rent out at will. Additionally, we cannot guarantee anyone accommodation: for most of our locations, current residents choose the new resident through a selection event.
Socius’ properties are characterised by the residents’ endeavours. Every Socius location has a dynamic management team. The management team is responsible for both the social and general management of the location. Social management handles anything that is required for a comfortable, safe, clean, and habitable living environment. All other daily management tasks fall under general management. This includes handling maintenance requests and the coordination of social initiatives. Managers are trained and guided by Socius, and rewarded with adequate compensation.
In addition to the management team there will also always be a group of residents who are willing to actively apply themselves to create a community. This collaboration between residents is meant to improve overall cohesion and to create a pleasant living environment. Socius expects every single resident to be a good neighbour to their fellow residents, so everyone feels at home and can open up to each other.
We refer to this extra effort in our community as self-maintenance: everything that can be organised by residents will indeed be organised by residents.
What you can do to avoid contamination:
Please keep an eye on yourself and your neighbors. Stay home and avoid all social contact if you have a cold, a fever or a cough.
The government has called upon everyone in the Netherlands to work from home as much as possible. Socius complies with this.
However, it is important to know that we are still available for your questions. You can reach us via e-mail or on our general phone number: 030 30 20 364. If you call this number you have the option to reach our financial department, or one of our other employees. It is possible that some requests may take a little longer, since everyone works from home. Please keep this in mind. Other than that, there will be as few changes as possible. You can reach us on workdays from 09:00 – 12:30 and 13:00 – 17:00. You can reach the financial department on workdays from 09:00 – 12:30.
You will find posters in every location with information about the coronavirus. On these posters you can find information about the virus itself, the symptoms, how to avoid contamination and what to do if you experience symptoms. The posters are available in multiple languages.
You can also find accurate information on the website of the RIVM.
There are different forms of ‘social gatherings’ at Socius:
Socius wants to appeal to the responsibility of all tenants. Please make sure to keep your own space and the common areas clean.
The technical management team will carefully take up all the maintenance requests again. This means you can submit every maintenance request, including the ones that are not urgent. The management team will take up the most urgent requests first. Please keep this in mind. Thank you for understanding!
Please follow the instructions you have been provided with if you have been in contact with your GP and/or the GGD and there are signs of, or a suspicion of, infection with the coronavirus. Inform other people about this. Because of privacy laws, Socius does not receive information about residents who might be infected with the virus. However, it could be very helpful if your neighbors and the management team are aware of your situation. You are in no way obliged to share this information, but keep in mind that it might be sensible.
Do you temporarily have no job or less income because of the coronavirus and do you think you might not be able to pay your rent? Please send a proposal for a payment arrangement to our financial department. You can reach them via e-mail: huurzaken@sociuswonen.nl . We will contact you about the possibilities. Payment arrangements are only possible if you have less to no income because of the coronavirus and provided that you don’t already have a paying arrangement.
You can also ask for help from the municipality you’re living in. Each municipality has different rules. That is why we made a list of every municipal helpdesk here:
Joint household: people residing at one address.
At Socius we know residential locations with independent and non-self-contained houses.
All of our independent houses (studios and apartments) are in themselves one address. The residents of one studio/apartment are therefore a joint household. Does your neighbour live in a studio at house number 4 K001, and do you live in a studio at house number 4 K002? Then you are not a joint household.
Do you live in a residential location in a shared house? Then you are only in a joint household with the people who live at the same address as you. Please note: if your residential location has house number 4 but your corridor/floor has house number 4a, you are only a joint household with the other people who live at house number 4a.
Check the website of the RIVM for current information. Here you can find information (in English) about symptoms, an overview of the numbers and who you have to call when you fall sick.
Here you can find information from the Dutch government on the novel coronavirus.
Here you can find information from the ‘GGD’ in Amsterdam.
You can also call the national information line: 0800 1351.
We are happy to welcome you in one of our locations. During these times some things, like moving in, might go a little different than usual. If you don’t find the information you were looking for on this FAQ-page, you can send an e-mail to the management team of your building. You can find contact information here.
Moving in
Please keep in mind that you can not invite a lot of people, if you need help moving in. Always keep a distance of 1,5 m. Consider other residents who are moving in. For example, wait when you see the elevator is crowded.
Gatherings and getting to know your fellow residents
Because of the restrictions imposed by the Dutch government, gatherings are not allowed. For example, parties and walk-in consultation hours will not take place until further notice. We understand you want to meet your fellow residents. Please be careful and don’t forget to keep your distance.
Measures and initiatives at your building
We confide in the responsibility of our residents. We ask everyone to wash their hands thoroughly, always cough or sneeze in their elbows and not on their hands and keep a distance of at least 1,5 m at all times. Keeping a distance might be difficult in our buildings with shared common areas and utilities. We understand. Still, we ask you to keep your distance as much as possible. In every location you can find posters with information about the measures.
We notice a lot of awesome initiatives. Flowers are handed out, people get groceries for their neighbors and there are spontaneous concerts. We are proud to see this. Do you also have a great idea? You can let us know by sending a message in Connect.
Generally, accommodation becomes available only when a tenant moves out. This means that we do not have a several rooms or apartments in store that we can rent out at will. Additionally, we cannot guarantee anyone accommodation: For most of our locations, current residents choose the new resident through a selection event called ‘hospiteeravond’.
You can find an overview of all our locations here. Each location has a description of how the sign up and selection process works.
Depending on which location tickles your fancy, you can respond to available accommodation either through the government-appointed social housing platform WoningNet or our own platform, called Socius Connect. At our sign up page you can register for Socius Connect for free.
Do note that all accommodation presented on WoningNet will require at least a 5 year wait.
If you have any questions about signing up for a location, please feel free to send our managers an e-mail! All contact info can be found on this page.
Generally, our locations use either ‘hospiteeravonden’ or ‘infoavonden’ for selecting new residents. Being personally present at these events is mandatory. Without having attended an information or selection event you will not qualify for any accommodation at a Socius location.
Are you not going to be able to attend a ‘hospiteeravond’ because you’re (still) abroad but you have already succesfully signed up for one? Then you may want to try contacting the group manager organizing the event. Their contact details can be found in Connect, under ‘Find a living space’ -> ‘My registrations’. You can ask them whether the group would be open to you calling in using a program like Skype or FaceTime. Please note that the group manager has the final say in this – they may not want to, or be able to, go through the extra effort required for this.
Are you not going to be able to attend an ‘infoavond’ because you’re (still) abroad? An infoavond is slightly more complicated; it’s an event at which you’ll be shown the accommodation and a lot of information is given. Typically, those who attended will be invited to fill out an online form so they can express their motivation for living at that accommodation. Have you already signed up for an information event that will take place while you’re still abroad? Please email the location’s management team (Contact page).
These are mandatory events to attend for anyone wanting to be considered for the available accommodation.
A ‘hospiteeravond’ is an evening organized by the current residents of part of a Socius location; typically the residents that share one partical hallway and the connected facilities. Through Connect an invitation is sent to all those who signed up for that location’s waiting lists. Around 10 to 15 slots are available for a hospiteeravond. Sometimes this means, if a location is very popular and there are many looking for accommodation, that those slots fill up within a few minutes. Those who signed up will find more details on the event under ‘Your registrations’ under the ‘Find a living space’ option.
In most cases we do not require residents to follow a university program to live at our locations. There are two exceptions. The first exception is TWA has rental agreements called ‘campus contracts’, which means that you can only live there if you’re enrolled at a university (‘wo/universiteit’), university of applied sciences (‘hbo/hogeschool’) or are enrolled in vocational education (‘mbo/beroepsonderwijs’). The second exception is Nano. To become a resident at Nano, you will need to be enrolled in a program at the Wageningen University & Research.
All those interested in one of our social housing locations will need to meet the income requirements. These requirements are dependent on the particular type of accommodation. Almost all our locations featuring apartments (meaning: accommodation where all facilities are included in the apartment offered and is not shared with others, such as a kitchen and a bathroom) are social housing. One exception to this is De Saffier. De Saffier is not social housing. There are income requirements for De Saffier, however, any available accommodation is listed through our own Socius Connect platform, as opposed to the government-appointed platform WoningNet which all social housing is listed through.
An overview of all our locations (and whether or not they are social housing) can be found below.
Socius offers apartments at Set, LOhuizen, Karmijn, Wonen op de Hoek and De Nieuwe Eyk. Two-person households are permitted at these locations, with the exception of studio apartments. Please do note that both parties will need to be enrolled with WoningNet. Also, you will need written permission from Socius to move in together at a Socius location, as per the rental agreements.
Want to know more? Don’t hesitate to ask our local managers. You can find the contact details for each location on this page.
Socius houses ‘young people’: all our locations are directed at providing accommodation for people between the ages of, roughly, 18 and 30. Some locations do not have age restrictions. These are De Saffier, De Veltroos and De Nieuwe Eyk. We always advise people looking for accommodation to do their research and evaluate whether the atmosphere and character suits their needs and wishes. Having doubts? Please don’t hesitate to contact our colleagues at each location. You can find all contact details here.
Any refugees or former refugees that we provide housing to are registered through the local municipalities. There are no additional priority arrangements. We would like to encourage everyone to follow our general registration procedure.
None of our locations are suitable for children. Because of the temporary nature of our locations our accommodations do not fit the needs of (small) families.
Socius does not offer accessible accommodation at this time.
Non-active users are regularly removed from our waiting lists. This way, any closed waiting lists regain availability and we are able to ensure that the waiting lists are comprised of those looking for accommodation only.
It’s possible that the available slots for this event were filled within minutes: when the guest lists for these events are opened, all those who signed up for those locations receive an invitation. For some locations, that means that a large number of people will try to sign up for an event that has a limited availability – 10 to 15 slots. Those who are fastest have the largest chance of getting on the list.
However, even though the list may appear full at this time, it is possible that someone may cancel. In that case, their slot will become available again through Connect; so keep an eye on the ‘Current offers’ section for this reason.
Please contact the location of the selection event that already took place. They can help you with removing you from the old selection event so you can sign up for a new one.

Socius is strict on people attending these event, so that they happen in the best way possible. Only in some cases your account may be reactivated. To do this, please contact the management team of the location where the selection event took place.
Your group manager is your first point of contact within the community. For example, you can talk to him/her in case of social tension within your group, when you have general questions about Socius, but also when passing on maintenance requests for the shared spaces. Additionally, you are welcome to talk to your group manager if you have any ideas to make your community more pleasant.
Our managers on-site work part-time and flexible hours. This means that they are often not reachable by phone. The best way to contact them is to send an email. An overview of all contact details for all locations can be found here.
Are you a resident and would you like to notify the management team in case of an emergency situation* taking place in the building? Please call the emergency hotline: 020-5148643.
To contact the management team for non-pressing issues please create a ticket in Connect. You can also visit the management team’s office hours (if applicable) or send an email (Contact page).
*’Emergencies’ are situations that pose immediate danger or (serious) consequential damage. Examples of this are: serious leakage, non-functioning heating at outside temperatures of below 10 degrees Celsius, large-scale power outages and malfunctions in the fire alarm system. Are you encountering violent situations involving two or more persons? Please always notify the national emergency services first: 112.

Are you encountering violent situations involving two or more persons? Please always notify the national emergency services first: 112.
Note: Have you locked yourself out of your accommodation or have you lost your keys? These are not seen as situations for which you can contact the emergency hotline. You are personally responsible for having one of your spare keys available through a neighbor or a friend. You may call the emergency number in this situation, however: there is no obligation from Socius / your location’s management team to assist you in this situation. If the management team is willing to meet with you and provide you with access to your accommodation, you will be charged €50. More information on this under ‘I’ve locked myself out. Can the management team open my door for me?’.
Living in close quarters with many other young people means that you will have to tolerate normal ‘living’ noises. Often, residents produce quite a bit of noise without being aware of it. Please talk to your neighbors to find a solution together.
Has a constructive conversation with your neighbors proven to be difficult? Only in this case you may contact your hall/group manager. Please also submit a ticket on the situation in Connect. This way the management team will know when and how often you’re experiencing nuisance is experienced.
As a tenant you are personally responsible for distributing your spare keys. Please consider leaving spare keys with family, friends, neighbors or roommates you trust.
Have you lost your key? If your management team has office hours, you can visit and ask whether one of the managers would mind accompanying you and opening your door for you. No office hours (soon)? Then you have the option to call the emergency hotline. Depending on their availability, a manager can meet up with you and open your door for you. For this service you will be charged €50,-.
To clarify: Socius / the management team of your location is not obligated to assist you in this situation. You should not assume our managers are available around the clock to open your door for you. Additionally, you are free hire a locksmith. Note: Have you hired a locksmith, and has this caused damage to your lock or door? In that case, you are responsible for any resulting damages.
Do you feel that the floors, staircases, windows are dirty because the cleaning team isn’t doing their job correctly? Please notify the management team by creating a ticket in Connect. Do you feel like your neighbors are creating an unsanitary environment? Please talk to each other about this. Are you having trouble in this process? Let us know through Connect.
Please let the management team know by creating a ticket in Connect! Socius will tackle the vermin control in the common areas. We will fight the vermin with poison and/or traps. If necessary, we call in the pest control service.
You are responsible for preventing and controlling vermin in your own living space. In this, it is highly important that you (and your neighbors or housemates) also work to create a sanitary living environment.
These suggestions can help:

– Immediately dispose trash bags and/or empty pizza boxes;
– Store all your food in lockable bins;

When you own a property, there are two kinds of insurance. An insurance for the building itself (opstalverzekering/property insurance) and insurance for any possessions inside of the building (inboedelverzekering/household insurance).
Either Socius or the owner of the properties that we rent is responsible for the property insurance for the buildings themselves. As a tenant you are responsible for taking out household insurance. If you choose not to insure your possessions, there is no process to receive compensation through Socius.
This is why we strongly advise every resident to take out a household insurance (inboedelverzekering).
Yes, it is possible to move to another residence within your current residential location. Note: the options/processes of moving to another house is different for every residential location.
Will the house be rented through Woningnet? You should apply for the house through the advertisement that has been placed on Woningnet.
Will the house be rented through Connect? Socius is taking into account a 1 calendar month cancellation period. Because of this you should cancel your own room before the first day of the month. Keep in mind that you have to cancel in the same month where the residence of your liking will be cancelled as well. During this cancellation on Connect you can leave a note saying you want to move to another house within your residential location. We recommend to also send an e-mail to the info@ email address of your location. After this we will let you know if it is possible for you to move into the other house. If moving is not possible you can withdraw your own lease cancellation.
Are there more people interested in the house? Together with a ‘gangbeheerder’ all interested residents will try to figure out a solution. Is there no solution? Socius will organize a ‘hospiteeravond’ for people that are not renting at the location.
Note: if you don’t cancel the lease of your own house before the first day of the month, it is not possible to move to the house of your liking.
Do you live at TWA, Karmijn, Set, Wonen op de Hoek or LOhuizen? There is a parking area near your house where you, or your visitors, can park your car. Do you want to rent a parking spot? Send an e-mail to: parkerenamsterdam@de-alliantie.nl.
The maximum storage duration for your bike is 30 consecutive days. You may only park your bike in designated parking areas. These areas are marked or indicated with signs. Please make sure you park your bike in the right place.
We want to make sure there is enough space for you to park your bike close to your residential location. We have noticed that parking areas are sometimes crowded with orphaned bicycles, causing others to not be able to park their bike. Moreover, we want the bicycle parking areas to look respectable, therefore we remove old bikes. It is also safer to remove dangerously or incorrectly parked bicycles. In order to maintain the parking facilities of the parking area, we use a bicycle policy with a set parking period.
Orphaned bicycle: An orphaned bicycle is a bike that has not been used for an extensive period of time, and of which the owner is unknown. In order to allow us to check if a bicycle has not been used for a longer period of time, we adhere to a maximum parking period of 30 consecutive days.
Bicycle wrecks: A bicycle is considered a wreck when: you are not longer able to ride it, or if it looks like a wreck. For example, these are bicycles that are missing vital parts, or of which specific parts are broken, such as a wheel or a saddle. Bicycles that look neglected (for instance, if they are covered in moss, or have flat tires) will also be considered a wreck. These bicycle wrecks will be removed immediately. We will not attach any labels to bicycle wrecks. We will of course carefully assess whether or not the bicycle is a wreck.
Incorrectly parked bicycle: Incorrectly parked bicycles are bikes that are parked outside of the designated parking areas. When an incorrectly parked bicycle is noticed, we will attach a label to the bike, and the owner has 3 hours to move it. Has the bicycle not been moved after 3 hours? Then we will take the bike with us, and you have 30 days to reclaim your bike.
Dangerously parked bicycles: Dangerously parked bicycles are bikes that are parked in such a way that they pose a threat or create a dangerous situation. For instance, because they block an entrance used by emergency services, or an escape exit. Because of the immediate danger these bikes pose, we will directly remove these bicycles.
There is one moment per week during which you can collect your bicycle. This varies between locations. Please ask property management when you can collect your bicycle at your location. Send an email to your property management’s email address, or report it in Connect. You can find the contact details here. Please remember, there are costs involved in collecting your bicycle. You must pay €12,50 in order to get your bicycle, that has been taken, back. This amount will be collected together with your rent.
Bicycles that have not been claimed or picked up within the 30 day pick up term, will be destroyed or sold.*
*At some locations it is possible to store your bicycle for longer.
Each year we determine the rent increase according to the Dutch Home Valuation System. The closer your rent is to the value of the Dutch Home Valuation System, the less it increases.
*Expections are: the dependent houses at De Saffier and the independent houses with fitting allocation in some of our locations in Amsterdam.
Contact your location’s rental manager by sending an email. You can find the management team’s contact details on this page.
In some situations, you may have someone else live in the accommodation that you are a tenant of. You will need to ask permission to do this. Without permission, subletting is illegal.
The regulations for subletting differ per location. Renting out your accommodation through Airbnb or similar services is not allowed in any shape or form. During your absence you will be responsible for your accommodation and the monthly rent payments.
More information on the possibilities of subletting can be found with the rental manager of your location. You can contact the rental manager by emailing; all contact info can be found on this page.
Taking into account a 1 calender month cancellation period, you can cancel your lease through Socius Connect. To do this, create a new ticket by selection ‘Tickets’ > ‘New ticket’ > ‘Kamer opzeggen’. The rental manager of your location will then contact you for the following process.
Your accommodation has a cancellation period of 1 calendar month. Example: Are you cancelling your rent through Connect on March 3rd? Then your final day of renting your accommodation is April 30th. If you cancel your rent on March 31st, the final date is still April 30th.
This cancellation period is also mentioned in your rental agreement.
When you do not pay your rent (in time), Socius will send you a reminder. You will need to transfer the sum as soon as possible. Did you pay your total rent due and feel that the reminder is incorrect? Please contact our financial rental department: huurzaken@socius.nl.
Did you receive a reminder but are you unable to pay the sum (in full)? Please contact our financial rental department as soon as possible: huurzaken@sociuswonen.nl.

Then you will receive your deposit at the end of the month following your last month of rent. Example: Did you rent your accommodation until the end of December? Then you will receive your deposit at the end of January. Do you have any questions concerning your security deposit? Please contact the financial rental department: rent@socius.nl.
Are you behind on rent and do you want to fix this with a paying arrangement? Paying arrangement are possible in some cases. If you are a resident you can send a proposal for a paying arrangement to our financial department. You can send an e-mail to: huurzaken@sociuswonen.nl .

Questions about general financial matters can be answered by telephone.
Normally in The Netherlands, small maintenance is the responsibility of the tenant. However, your location’s maintenance team can also take care of small repairs for you – this is included in your monthly service fees. Some of the simplest problems, however, remain your responsibility. For example, changing a light bulb or clearing a minorly clogged drain.
An overview of the responsibilities of all maintenance works can be found here.
