My Studio
The maximum occupancy for a studio unit is one person. In other words, you are not allowed to live together with someone else in a studio.
The H83 team will take care of that, but please respect the communal areas, as we’re proud of what we’ve done with them.
No. To ensure the safety of all tenants, a general smoking ban applies in the whole building, including in the studios. The indoor use of e-cigarettes is forbidden as well.
Moreover, the use of drugs (soft/hard) in the entire residence is strictly prohibited and we have an absolute zero tolerance policy on this subject.

Getting around
Cycling is in Maastricht a very popular form of daily transport. H83 provides (unsecured) outdoor bike parking spots.
H83 is exceptionally close to all amenities (grocery stores, public transit, gyms, university, restaurants etc.) making the car impractical. There are just a few parking spaces offered at the estate; these on-site parking may be used only by tenants who have parking explicitly included in their tenancy agreement. Parking in the neighborhood is expensive, so we advise you not to bring your car.
Yes, you will find a bus stop at the Hertogsingel / Tongerseplein as well as at the Calvariestraat. For more information about the public transportation within Maastricht, please visit www.9292.nl
Rent & service charges
The rent must be paid to us on the first day of the month (i.e. you pay in advance) via direct bank transfer.
You can apply for housing benefit if you are 23 years or older. The amount of the housing allowance depends on your personal situation. If you would like to find out whether you are eligible for housing benefit given your current income and rent, you can enter your information on Belastingdienst/Toeslagen, the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration website.
Each year, the rent can be increased on the 1st of July. You will be notified of this before the 1st of May. The Dutch government determines the maximum percentage increase for the rent. The sum of service costs can also be adjusted.
Yes, you must pay 2 months’ worth of base rent as a deposit.
Energy costs are the costs for gas, water, and electricity. The monthly part made up by energy costs are an advance payment and based on an estimate of the expected use. These costs are settled once a year. Each studio has its own electricity and water meter. From this calculation, it shows whether you have paid too little or too much in the past calendar year. We will then pay back a sum or send a separate bill. The costs of gas is calculated proportionally. Services we and/or third parties provide are service charges. For example: cleaning of the building, (maintenance of the) intercom and, connection for WIFI. In your rental contract you will find which services fall under the H83 service charges.
Once a year every household in Maastricht will be asked to pay municipal taxes by the BsGW (municipal tax office). These taxes are not included in the service costs and these taxes are put toward the house’s sewage system and trash collection. You may qualify for a tax exemption. mymaastricht.nl provides useful information on how to reprieve the municipal taxes.
