The income requirement is a guideline that lessors use to determine if you can financially afford the monthly rent. It helps both the tenant and the lessor ensure that the housing costs are reasonable compared to your income.
How Does It Work?
Here in the add you'll see the requirement for the homes in the project. "x times the monthly rent" means that your gross monthly income is at least x times the basic monthly rent.
Combined Income
Joint income If you're renting with a partner, your incomes are added together. The second income is counted for 100%.
Why is this important?
The income requirement prevents you from renting a home that doesn't financially fit your situation. Landlords are also legally obligated to rent responsibly.
Westerpark West: the new Amsterdam neighborhood where urban dynamism and green tranquility come together.
Basil Residential Complex: Where Green and Urban Living Come Together. Welcome to Basil, where the comfort of a modern rental apartment seamlessly blends with the tranquility of nature. Located in the bustling Westerpark West, on the former ING campus, this project offers a unique living experience. Here, four striking residential buildings come together to offer the perfect balance between urban dynamism and natural serenity.
Basil's architecture is a story in itself. The buildings are made up of 96 structures reminiscent of neatly stacked tables. This playful and dynamic design gives the buildings a light and airy feel, allowing them to blend perfectly into the green surroundings. Each of the 250 sustainable rental apartments, ranging from two- to three-bedroom homes, has been designed with an eye for detail to ensure optimal living comfort.
Living in Basil means that nature is always within reach. You can step straight out of your home into the green Brettenzone, a vast area ideal for a peaceful walk, a run, or a relaxing picnic. On the other side of the complex, the cultural hotspots and cozy terraces of the Westergasterrein await you, where there is always something to do.
The apartments not only offer stunning views, but also maximum comfort. Thanks to the ‘Coreless’ concept, you share the elevator with just one other neighbor, ensuring extra peace and privacy. The homes feature spacious living rooms with an outdoor area, ideal for enjoying the sun and the view. And thanks to solar panels and a geothermal heat source, you can enjoy an energy-efficient and comfortable indoor climate all year round.
Basil in Westerpark West is the ideal place for those looking for a unique rental apartment in a prime location. It is the perfect place for those who want to combine the liveliness of the city with the tranquility of greenery.
