Lack of Response from Housing Applications
Hey, all!
You’re probably tired from seeing questions like this, but please hear me out.
I’m scheduled to enrol in a masters programme this September, and looking for housing has been a pain mainly because no one is responding when I try to contact them. Since a few weeks ago, I’ve browsed through Kotwijs and Immoweb, applied to at least 15 different properties, and so far received a grand total of 3 responses effectively turning me down.
Is this normal for everyone else? If not, can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong? Am I just not aggressive enough? Should I WhatsApp them instead of using email? Does it have anything to do with the fact that I’m a non-EU/EEA citizen?
I’m getting very worried, as rent prices go higher and higher as time goes on, so any help would be nice.
Thanks in advance!
