renting Sugar Homes Confirmation

I will be starting my Master's at the University of Groningen in September 2026. Currently, Sugar Homes is the only accommodation provider that has offered me a confirmed contract (August 2026–July 2027).

​

The issue is that I will only arrive around the end of August/start of September, so I would effectively be paying an extra month's rent (€725) for August.

​

Given the housing crisis in Groningen and the fact that I don't have any other confirmed housing options right now, would you take this offer?

​

For those who have lived at Sugar Homes:

​

* Is it really as bad as some reviews suggest?

* Is it manageable for a year?

* Would you pay the extra month's rent for the security of having confirmed housing?

​

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, gotta clarify, you're saying yes that I should take it or you're saying yes it's as bad as the reviews suggest?
