HOW TO PAY YOUR RENT

We don’t accept cash payments. You can choose from the three options below to make payments.

Please note that you pay rent in advance. Rent needs to be paid before the 1st of the month.

Option 1: Pay via an e-mail link (Mail2Pay)

• Lieven de Key will send you a payment link (between the 20th and 26th of each month) with which you can pay the rent for the coming month. Through the link you can pay by credit card (VISA & Mastercard) or with iDEAL (only with a Dutch bank account).
• Can’t find the e-mail? Please check your SPAM-folder of the email you registered with when booking the room. If the link can still not be found or used, please pay through option 2 or 3 (see below).
   

Option 2: Pay via bank transfer

• Name account holder: Woonstichting Lieven De Key.
• Lieven de Key IBAN account: NL22INGB0000138140.
• Lieven de Key BIC /SWIFT-code for payments from abroad: INGBNL2A.
• Bank address:
  ING Bank N.V.
  Att. Foreign Operations
  PO Box 1800
  1000 BV,  Amsterdam
• Payment reference: always start with your tenancy agreement number (HC*******, see front page of your contract) in any payment. Adding tenants full name and Lieven de Key room address. As complete as possible, is important when someone other than tenant is paying rent. 

Monthly rent amount = mentioned in your tenancy agreement and in the payment link.

Wish to pay rent ahead? – Combine the rent amounts and pay them prior to the deadlines, all in one time.

Want to transfer the first booking payment (first notice) via bank? - Please transfer the total amount mentioned in the invoice in your tenancy agreement.

Please don't use an intermediary party (e.g. Xoom) to transfer us rental payments. Intermediary banks may be used for international transfers though. Do always send us proof of your payment when having paid through bank transfer.

Option 3: Pay via automatic payment order

• Set up a monthly payment order. Activate this direct debit through your Lieven De Key account (available from the start of your lease).
• Or set up an automatic payment order via your bank when you don't have a European IBAN. Don't forget to add your unique HC******number (tenancy agreement number) in the order. Without this HCnumber as reference, we won't be able to track where it is for. 

What if I do not pay my rent on time?
In the event that your rent is not paid on time, you will receive a payment reminder by e-mail.*

• The first reminder is sent around 10 days after the payment deadline.
• A second reminder follows around 20th of the month & your University in Amsterdam will be notified.
• After that, possible consequence is that we are forced to outsource your case to our debt collector which leads to extra costs for you as tenant.

* We recommend you to reply/contact us directly when you're experiencing difficulties paying on time. We can then help you set up a payment arrangement. If you are experiencing longer periods of financial issues, please seek additional help with a student counselor of your University.
