Renting in The Hague
The Hague combines a large city centre, government and international workplaces, beach districts and fast links to surrounding towns. Start from the station or workplace you must reach, because two attractive addresses can mean very different daily journeys.

A per-square-metre figure is not a monthly apartment quote: a 40 m² studio and an 80 m² home can have different per-m² rents, charges and furnishing. Compare current listings with the space and condition you actually need.
Areas to include in your The Hague search
Editorial starting points, not a price or safety ranking. Always judge the exact address and your real door-to-door journey.
02
Bezuidenhout
Useful when Den Haag Centraal, Laan van NOI or the eastern office corridor shapes your commute.
03
Laak
Consider for access to stations and a broader set of housing types. Assess the exact street, building condition and shared living arrangements.
04
Scheveningen
Search if coastal living matters; compare year-round tenancy terms, insulation and the travel time to your main destination.
Where to search and how to apply
Housing association options are listed through Woonnet Haaglanden. Some self-contained social and mid-market properties require an affordable housing permit; the city sets the conditions and explains when an association handles the application.
For private listings, keep the original advertiser's application process and requirements in view. A saved search helps you notice matching listings; the landlord or agency decides whether to offer a viewing or tenancy.
Before you pay anything
- Separate the basic rent from service costs, utilities and the deposit before you compare two listings.
- Confirm that the address permits municipal registration at the town hall.
- Inspect the home in person or arrange a credible live video viewing.
- Confirm the advertiser is actually authorised to let the property.
- Read the written contract and any eligibility or permit conditions.
- Run the Huurcommissie Rent Check for a regulated home or room.
For agreements dated from 1 July 2023 the deposit ceiling is two months' basic rent, and an agency engaged by the landlord cannot also charge that tenant a mediation fee.
A practical search plan for The Hague
Search both city names
Search Den Haag and The Hague as well as nearby Rijswijk or Voorburg where your commute allows. If the listing is within the permit segment, check the address and eligibility early; never assume that signing a lease itself grants a permit.
- 1
Prepare a short introduction, move date, household size and proof of income or study status; share sensitive documents only through a verified application process.
- 2
Check whether the quoted figure is basic rent or all-in rent, and budget separately for utilities, service charges and moving costs.
- 3
Before paying, confirm the property and advertiser, written contract, address registration and any applicable rental or occupancy permit.
