How it works

How Lessy works

From your first search to the signed lease takes three steps. Lessy does the work, but for every home you decide whether to go ahead.

  1. Tell us what you are looking for

    Where you want to live, what you can pay and when you want to move. You then sign a search agreement so Lessy can act on your behalf, and prepare your tenant file once, with an introduction about yourself.

  2. Lessy finds homes that fit

    Lessy compares new homes with your search profile, day and night, from the websites of letting agents and landlords across the region, and from listing-site alerts you forward to Lessy. When a home fits, you hear about it, with an explanation of why it fits and what to look out for.

  3. Lessy helps you get it

    Want to see the home? Lessy responds on your behalf, with your introduction and the key details from your tenant file. Lessy then arranges the start date and terms for you and looks over the lease, energy label and points calculation with you. Once you live there, you can still come to Lessy with questions.

Every step, explained

Questions

When does Lessy launch?

We expect to launch in the Amsterdam region in spring 2027. Everyone on the waitlist hears first, with an explanation of how to start and what to prepare for your tenant file.

What does Lessy cost?

Joining the waitlist is free. Once Lessy opens, you only pay when you sign a lease for a home we proposed: with Lessy from €395, with Lessy Plus one month's basic rent, both including VAT. You’ll find every fee on our Fees page. Join the waitlist before launch and sign your search agreement within 3 months of it, and you get a 10% early bird discount.

What is a rental agent?

A rental agent searches for a home on behalf of the tenant and helps them get it. Lessy is your rental agent: we work for you, the tenant, and you are our client.

Do I pay if I find a home myself?

Only for a home Lessy proposed to you. If you sign for that home within 6 months of the proposal, you pay the fee, also if you responded yourself. If you already knew the home, for example because you had already spoken to the landlord, you show us and you pay nothing. For a home from a listing alert you forwarded to Lessy yourself, you only pay if Lessy responded on your behalf: you found that home yourself. An example: in March Lessy proposes a home in Oost, and in April you sign for it; then you pay the fee. Find a home yourself that Lessy never proposed, and you pay nothing.

What if Lessy doesn’t find a home for me?

Then you pay nothing. Your search agreement runs for 6 months and you can always cancel it free of charge. If you want to keep searching after that, you can extend it.

Which areas do you cover?

The whole Amsterdam region (MRA), including Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Diemen, Haarlem, Hoofddorp and Zaandam.
