Landlords are seldom prepared to sign a rental agreement for less than ten or even 12 months.</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span lang="EN-GB">Perhaps you are already aware of the housing shortage through your institution or other channels. The housing shortage affects both Belgian and international students and creates major challenges in finding suitable accommodation. International students are facing extra obstacles due to language barriers and a lack of social networks in the country.</span></span></span></span></p> <p>There are several options to find a room:</p> <h2>1. Search online: find a room through Kotatgent</h2> <p>At the website of <a href="https://kot.stad.gent/en/find-a-room">Kotatgent</a> you can find a list of rooms that are available at the moment.</p> <h2>2. Search offline: look for signs stating '(studentenkamers) te huur'</h2> <p>If you want to look for accommodation yourself offline, you should search for signs (often orange) stating “te huur” (for rent), or signs reading “studentenkamers te huur” (student room for rent). Telephone numbers of landlords are also available. Room hunting may take at least a couple of days, but with some help from the housing officers at your host institution, you should be able to find a private room.</p> <p>We advise students to always start their search early. if you arrive in september, start your search in spring. </p> <h2><span>3. Other options?</span></h2> <p><span>Please take into account that it won’t be easy to find a room on the private housing market for a short stay. Landlords are seldom prepared to sign a rental agreement for less than 12 months. But maybe you can take part in the '<em>room exchange'</em></span><span>! </span><span>The <a href="/node/8081">housing officers</a> of your host institution will be happy to inform you about this system.
