This Protocol for the allocation of rental units to prospective tenants is applied within the framework of the Good Landlordship Act and aims to provide transparency for all parties involved regarding the process by which a rental unit in the Hicondo complex, located at Foppingadreef 26, 1102 CX Amsterdam, is allocated.

Principles of the Landlord:

Allocation of a vacant apartment
Hicondo aims to avoid vacancy and therefore applies an allocation procedure designed to find a candidate from the waiting list as quickly as possible for any available apartment. The procedure is as follows:
As soon as a unit becomes available, the candidate at the top of the waiting list will be contacted by phone to ask whether they wish to be considered for the available apartment.
If the candidate cannot be reached, the next candidate on the list will be contacted, and so on.
The first candidate who is successfully contacted and confirms their interest in the available apartment will be sent the tenancy agreement and accompanying documents for signature.
Final provisions
In accordance with privacy legislation, the landlord is not authorized to provide personal information about candidates to third parties.
Hicondo strictly refrains from any form of discrimination or cooperation with discrimination in connection with the registration and allocation of rental units to candidates.
