What Does the Soft Landing Package Include
The package provides relocation consultancy and coordination support throughout your relocation and tenancy. Relocation Base coordinates the following:
- Communication and Coordination with the Housing Provider
Relocation Base communicates on your behalf regarding the tenancy agreement, accommodation-related questions, maintenance matters, and general tenancy coordination to help ensure a smooth stay.
- Tenancy Agreement and Translation Support
Relocation Base provides guidance and advisory support regarding the tenancy agreement to help you understand its terms, requirements, and practical aspects. Where the agreement is issued in the local language, Relocation Base may provide an English translation or summary for your convenience. The original tenancy agreement issued by the housing provider remains legally binding.
- Registration and Integration Support
Guidance with essential local processes such as municipal registration, setting up a Dutch bank account, obtaining a local SIM card, and, where applicable, support with deregistration when your stay ends.
- Travel and Pre-Arrival Support
Assistance with arranging travel and airport transport, as well as support with securing temporary accommodation if you arrive before your check-in date.
- Onboarding and Administrative Support
Optional onboarding and administrative support may be available to assist with the practical steps involved in relocating and settling into your accommodation, depending on your needs and the applicable arrangements.
All services provided by Relocation Base are consultancy and coordination services only. Relocation Base is not a landlord, property owner, or brokerage entity and does not own or provide the accommodation.
