Verified apartment viewings in Eindhoven
Technology driven, ASML pulls in internationals every month. The city centre is small, and the good listings cluster around Strijp-S and Stratumseind. We have got Checkers on both.
Renting in Eindhoven, without flying over
Eindhoven runs on technology. ASML, Philips, NXP, and the wider High Tech Campus pull in thousands of international workers, and TU/e adds a fresh intake of students every year. Demand for rentals far outstrips supply, and new arrivals land in the city almost every month looking for somewhere to live. The centre is compact, the best listings cluster around Strijp-S and Stratum, and a good one-bed can be gone within a day or two of going live.
When you are relocating from abroad, you often have to commit before you can visit, and that pressure is exactly what scammers rely on. Fake listings copy photos from real ads, ask for a deposit or first month before any viewing, then vanish. Even honest listings hide things a photo never shows: damp, a flat much smaller than it looked, or the noise that rolls off Stratumseind at the weekend.
Checked sends a trained local Checker to view the apartment in person on your behalf. You get a video walkthrough, up to 30 photos, and an honest written report, usually within the hour. You see the real place, the real street, and the real condition before you pay a cent of deposit. From €35, with a 100% money-back guarantee.

Eindhoven at a glance
Where we work
Eindhoven neighbourhoods we cover
Our Checkers work across every part of Eindhoven. Here is how the main areas compare for renters.
Strijp-S
The old Philips factory grounds reborn as Eindhoven's creative and tech district. Converted warehouses, loft apartments, and new-builds, walkable and a short ride from the central station. The most sought-after area for internationals, and priced to match.
Stratumseind
Right by the city's main nightlife strip, the longest pub street in the country. Central and genuinely convenient, but weekends get loud. A Checker's video shows exactly how much of that noise reaches the apartment before you sign.
Woensel
The city's largest district, spread north of the centre around the Woenselse Markt. More floor space for your budget and calmer streets, popular with families and anyone wanting a bit of room to breathe.
Tongelre
A green, residential district just east of the centre with a village feel and quick links into town. A steady, quieter choice that still keeps you close to ASML, the campus, and the ring road.
Stratum
A big district running south from Stratumseind. Central flats near the action at one end, leafy family streets at the other, generally solid value and close to shops and transport.

Common Eindhoven rental scams, and how we stop them
Eindhoven has one of the highest rates of rental fraud in the Netherlands. These are the patterns a verified in-person viewing catches before you lose a deposit.
The copied listing
Scammers lift photos from a real Funda or Pararius ad, repost the flat below market rate, and target new arrivals who cannot view in person. A Checker visits the actual address, so within the hour you know whether the apartment, and the landlord, are real.
Pay first, view later
A familiar line to relocating workers: the landlord is abroad, so send the deposit or first month to hold the place and the keys will follow. No legitimate landlord needs money before you have seen the property. A verified viewing means you never pay a stranger sight unseen.
Keys in the post
You are told the owner cannot show you round and will courier the keys once you have paid. There is no apartment. A local Checker attends in person and confirms that the property, and someone with real access to it, actually exist.
What the photos leave out
Even a genuine listing can hide damp, mould, street noise, or a flat far smaller than it looked online. Up to 30 photos, a full walkthrough video, and an honest report surface what a polished ad is built to conceal.
How it works

Get your report
You receive a video walkthrough, up to 30 photos, and an honest written report, usually within the hour, so you can decide before someone else does.
FAQ
Renting in Eindhoven: your questions
How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Eindhoven?
A one-bed typically runs €850 to €1,500 per month depending on the area and condition. Central and Strijp-S flats sit at the higher end, while Woensel and outer Stratum tend to be more affordable. Expect a deposit of one to two months on top.
Are rental scams common in Eindhoven?
Yes, and they often target internationals who cannot view in person. Fake listings, deposit-before-viewing demands, and courier-key tricks are the usual patterns. A verified in-person viewing is the simplest way to avoid all of them.
How fast do I need to act on a listing?
Fast. Good one-beds in Eindhoven are often gone within 48 hours. Checked lets you move quickly without skipping the viewing: send the link and get a full report usually within the hour.
Which neighbourhoods suit internationals and tech workers?
Strijp-S is the top pick for young professionals, walkable and close to the station. Stratum and the centre keep you near the action, while Woensel and Tongelre offer more space and quiet. All stay within easy reach of ASML, the High Tech Campus, and TU/e.
Can you view an apartment before I move to Eindhoven?
Yes, that is exactly the point. If you are still abroad, a local Checker views on your behalf and sends video, photos, and an honest report, so you can rent with confidence before you ever arrive.
How much does a Checked viewing cost?
From €35 per viewing, with a 100% money-back guarantee. If the report does not give you what you needed, you get your money back.
