Finding reasonably priced accommodation in a good area in Amsterdam can be
quite a challenge. There are a number of options to go about finding your new
nest. The easiest will be to sign up with a real estate agent and let him shortlist
apartments for you. For the more daring, you can use the internet to find apartments.
But beware of passing on information or advances on rent without having proper
documentation and contracts as there are a number of conmen out there.
You will find also ads on boards in shops (news-agents, shopping centers) and
in local newspapers.
 FLATSHARING : A NEW WAY OF LIFE
Instead of living in a pokey attic room with huge rent, why not try
shared accommodation? Frequently associated with students, sharing is
spreading nowadays towards older established workers and covers people
from 18 to 49 years old. Without falling into a community style of life
such as in the 70's, you can choose to share an accommodation for a
bigger space, less expense.
Flatsharing is a way to meet more and more followers who choose to
break a lonely life, save money or just find an affordable acommodation
in a difficult market. This way of life has numerous advantages in term
of money, practicality or social life. EASYEXPAT
in partnership with EASYROOMMATE
number one for flatsharing, offers this service to its users to present
all the chances to find the ideal flatmate or to join an existing household.
If you've got a room to rent, you can put a free ad for house/flatsharing.
If you look for a room or a flatshare, it's free to search into
the database with thousands of offers.

In case of partnership, people who have signed the lease are the only legal
tenants, and therefore are responsible for the accommodation (it is possible
to let the landlord know of this partnership if officialised by the town hall
for example).
