Temporary rentals in Rotterdam to expats and international students
Do you have a house or apartment in Rotterdam available for rent? Then we would like to visit you! For our international clientele we are looking for furnished or unfurnished houses to rent. You can rent out your property for a longer period, but there are also plenty of tenants who are temporarily looking for a place to live. Short stay may then be of interest to you.
As a rental agency, we assist foreign professionals (expats), who come to Rotterdam temporarily or move within the Netherlands. We also rent to international students. This offers an enormous return potential and we have very good experiences with both target groups.
We try to find a reliable tenant for your property as quickly as possible. We take photos and place them together with an attractive description on our website and relevant websites such as Funda and Pararius. We will also post your property on our social media channels.
Of course, we screen all candidates thoroughly to make the right match. When introducing a hire, there is a very good chance that the company where the expat is working will sound familiar to you.
So also take advantage of our network and advantageous service and rent your home in Rotterdam directly to expats or international students.






No fine print
Transparent revenue model
What makes us unique in the way we work is that upon successful mediation, we do not charge a one-time fee of one month’s rent, which is common in the rental market. We take photos, place them together with descriptions on our own website as well as relevant websites such as Funda and Pararius and our social media channels. We include all this in the commission we charge when renting out your property.
If you choose rental management through Riva, you will only incur costs at the time you have actually received rent, which is fair! In this way we create a common interest. We also benefit from reliable tenants who pay on time and keep their promises for as long as possible. So we also have a great interest in a good screening.
Another big advantage of rental management is that we also take care of all the hassles related to renting for you. So you have no direct contact with the tenant and we take care of the complete property management, both financial and technical. This is how we like to invest in a long-term relationship!

By car it is at most fifteen minutes and the public transport of the RET is also extremely efficient between the cities. Schiedam and Capelle also offer enough urban amenities to live well. There are shopping centers, schools, cultural facilities and recreational opportunities.

“Kind and highly effective, Riva Rentals turned initially painstaking experience of finding apartment to our taste, into a full success. Laura and Steven proven themselves as ultimate professionals in this business.”
“I am very pleased with the rental service provided by the Riva Rentasl. They were swift, to the point and creative in providing the service needed for expats. I would highly recommend Riva Rentals.”
“I rented out my apartment via Riva Rentals. It was an absolute pleasure working with them. The whole team was very professional. They process of getting my apartment listed on their site, subsequent visits by prospective clients and handling of contract and other paperwork once the apartment was rented out was done very efficiently. At all times, their communications were clear and their advice spot on. I am sure that I will continue working with them in the future! “
“Het team van Riva Rentals weet op de juiste wijze de wensen van hun relatie in te vullen om daar vervolgens op een praktische manier mee om te gaan. Zij nemen een prominente plaats in op markt waarin zij opereren omdat zij terzake kundig en klantgericht te werk gaan. Mijn complimenten aan het gehele team en met name aan Steven Termeulen voor de uitermate plezierige samenwerking.”
“Topbedrijf, verstand van zaken en snel en goed geholpen. Aanrader!”
“The team at Riva rentals and the timely, yet detailed service provided was outstanding. I particularly liked that the agent showing me around was honest, direct and very friendly instead of acting as a sales guy trying to hook you up with the first seen property in the most blatant way. The girls which arranged the contract were an absolute pleasure to work with, and again response to emails or phone calls was like a Swiss watch, not having to wait hours or days to have an update on the house situation.”
”It is nice to leave everything in the hands of professionals, they know what, when and how to do. This is what I experienced after I contacted Riva Rentals to rent out my flat”
“Wij hebben ons huis enorm snel verhuurd via Riva. Wij wisten zelf niet veel af van het verhuren van een huis maar Laura heeft ons wegwijs gemaakt en door haar enthousiaste houding en goede kennis van zaken was ons huis dus zo verhuurd.”
“The Riva team really helped us out big time! We needed a house on really short term and they did it!”
“Thank you once again Riva Rentals for the housing of all our 150 employees in Maasvlakte Rotterdam and for the cooperation trough the last years. We hope that we would be able to cooperate again in a near future!”
