  2. Set alerts, don't browse. Budget, room or studio, registration required. Casa checks every site every ten minutes and sends you the ones you can actually get. Set up alerts, free.
  3. Have the pack ready. Passport copy, proof of enrolment, a guarantor letter from your parents, two lines about you. Landlords reply to the complete message first.
  4. Reply within the hour, in the landlord's language. Casa writes it and sends it for you, no subscriptions anywhere.
  5. Expect hospiteren for shared houses. A short evening with the housemates. Be on time, ask about the house rules, don't oversell. The guide.
  6. Never pay before a viewing. Video call in the actual room counts. Bank transfer only, one month deposit, contract first. The scams in Utrecht.
  7. Check the contract in ten minutes. Registration allowed, notice period, deposit, service costs. Contract checklist, or send it to Casa.
Where rooms in Utrecht actually come from

The big listing sites and agencies, private ads, university housing offices and their partner buildings, Facebook and WhatsApp groups where leaving students post, and students subletting for a semester. Casa covers the first three automatically; for the groups, ask in your programme chat, and check Casa sublets in Utrecht.
