Woningent is an online platform used in the Netherlands and Belgium. This app allows home seekers to register, assisting them in finding a rental property. The system is designed to promote transparency and efficiency in the allocation of social housing. However, it is not limited to social housing; it also applies to other types of housing made available through housing associations.
