What are my chances in getting a studio/apartment for half a year? Where to look?
Hello all!
I am coming to Liege in the next semester, and I am already looking for the next home. However, since I have lived with other people for the past year, I really feel I need my own space, so I don't want to go for the Belgian kot option.
I've been looking through a lot of sources, Kotaliege, Facebook groups, with any Belgian friends I may have, etc., but sadly most of the people need a one-year contract. From our university, they advised us to go for a one-year contract and then ask/check if there's a clause for notice, but I don't really like this, as it's not the best for the owner.
The fact that the university asks for domiciliation and I am not from Belgium (although at least I am from an EU Country) doesn't help much. But I do have some credentials from previous owners I rented, and am overall not smoking, w/o pets, hating parties and any loud noise, so I match other criteria for owners.
What do you think? Do you have any advice on searching and communicating with the owners/searching for accommodation with my criteria, ideally even if you know someone who would rent with these criteria, etc.?
