Is housing a student a good idea? Some Dutch institutions of higher education explicitly ask (in Dutch) their employees to consider this, because of the lack of student housing. TU Delft addresses the subject in its latest newsletter (23 November). It refers to the student room shortage in Delft and the new exchange students who will be arriving in Delft in February, but does not call for any action. TU Delft only points out practical considerations that employees should take into account when thinking about renting out a room. “For example, what level of rent would be reasonable and what does it mean to take in an (international) student? There are various tax, insurance and financial aspects to consider.”

• For the answers, TU Delft refers to the websites of the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration (in Dutch) and the Central Government (in Dutch).
