Housing
sorted.
A clean place to stay within commuting distance of work — SNF-certified, transparent costs, with internet, laundry and cooking facilities. No overcrowded units, no hidden bills.
Housing is not an afterthought. For a skilled worker from Poland, Romania or Portugal working in the Netherlands for the first time, where they sleep is almost more important than the workplace itself. That's why FlexHero works exclusively with housing partners that are SNF-certified — the Dutch quality standard for housing international workers.
What is SNF?
SNF (Stichting Normering Flexwonen) is the independent body that sets quality requirements for housing labour migrants. An SNF location is inspected annually on matters such as square metres per person, fire safety, sanitary facilities, noise standards and privacy.
FlexHero works exclusively with SNF locations. No exceptions.

What does it cost?
We deduct € 65 per payslip per week for your housing. This amount is all-in — gas, water, electricity, internet, cleaning and municipal/tourist tax are included. No surprises afterwards.
The rent is automatically deducted from your salary. The amount is clearly shown on your payslip.
How far from work?
We aim for a maximum of 30 km between housing and workplace. In practice, 80% of our locations are within 20 km. For those who live further away: a company bus or an allowance for your own transport.
Frequently asked questions.
Can I bring my partner or family?
Not in SNF units — those are for one person per room. We do have a number of larger apartments (2 bedrooms) available for couples or a parent + child. Ask your adviser.
What if I want to move out?
You can always do that. Let us know 14 days in advance. You only pay until your move-out date. No penalties, no long notice periods.
Do I get my deposit back?
You don't pay a deposit at intake. FlexHero does hold back one month's rent to cover damage — you get it back when you leave the room in good order.
Can I work from home at the complex?
Yes, for your own administration. For commercial work from the accommodation: check with your adviser first, because of the housing partner's business rules.
What if there's a problem with the room?
Call your adviser — they'll sort it within 24 hours. For structural complaints (heating, leaks) we escalate to the housing partner within 4 hours.
Questions about your room?
An adviser who speaks your language will explain all the details — even before you decide.
