Tenants are flooded with all kinds of laws that are designed to jumpstart the housing market. Below point by point the new laws and regulations for the housing
1. What about reducing the rent control
The Dutch tenancy is one of the strongest in the world: a landlord may only terminate the lease in very specific situations. In the course of time have been exceptions, such as temporary contracts for anti-squatters, students and the elderly. Also, the provision ‘urgent own use “- tenants must leave the field as the owner of the house itself needs – stretched. Tenants may also be threatened if bankruptcy screwed.
In the last week by the Senate adopted flow Housing Act describes his new exceptions, such as temporary contracts to two years for all age groups. Amsterdam corporations say otherwise they will not use it here. Well be in Amsterdam introduced temporary contracts for young people between 18 and 28 years. The new law also allows young people to offer a lease for five years. And then there are potentially more temporary contracts, for example for large families and doctoral students.
2. Who prevents rents skyrocketing?
The industry commitments and which can be made into law by the Minister. Corporation Dome Aedes and Woonbond example made nationwide agreed that rental growth will remain limited on average to social housing to one percent plus inflation, “rent” approach. Amsterdam associations are against it. They want higher rents for crooked residents, saying itself rent for minimum and keep the middle layer.
Minister Blok (VVD Housing), the social rental agreement included in the flow housing law, with significant adjustments worsen the position of tenants. Commercial landlords include, for example, different state in accord, not under the same regulations as corporations. The limitation of rent increases to one percent plus inflation was with the approval of the Senate indeed law.
3. Amsterdam still laying in the cooperation agreements already established that corporations keep renting?
Right. But Hague politicians emphasize that especially the adoption of new Housing already enforces moderate rental growth last year. This happens, for example through their corresponding rules, for example the ‘appropriate allocation’ of social housing. Corporations tenants may not offer homes they can not afford.
4. What about the battle for the hire of small homes?
That comes to place. One of the successes of liberal ministers is that they have managed to handle the attractiveness of the location in the rent. And so came a few years ago, Donner points, making the maximum rent of social housing increased the most beautiful places in one fell swoop with 125 euros.
Minister Blok made it work in October 2015 by the WOZ value the property for 25 percent to determine the rent for social housing.
In a new bill Block continues. Small mansions of up to forty square meters given by a complex calculation formula additional residential points, so that those houses come faster in the private sector. Wants to block the housing of small houses boost in provincial cities.
Political groups in Amsterdam campaigning against it and have the support of corporations. They think that if the smallest rent houses all over the rent limit (710.68 euros) may have slightly larger little houses of fifty square meters by the inflationary effect in 1200 euro and more will cost. This development is contrary to the Amsterdam philosophy of the mixed city, which is tantamount to a social tenant should be able to live next to the Royal Palace.
