In Tilburg, the income-dependent rent increase is calculated based on your joint rental income, as determined by the Tax Authorities. Landlords in the municipality of Tilburg use income data from two years prior (e.g., 2022 for an increase in 2024). The formula is: maximum increase = rent price × (income-dependent percentage × income index). For 2024, in the private sector in Tilburg, 5.3% applies for income above €47,699, with lower percentages for lower incomes. Note the specific rent price threshold of €808.06 for the private sector in 2024, relevant for many homes in neighborhoods such as Oud-Zuid and Het Zand.
Step 1: Request your income statement via Mijn Belastingdienst. Step 2: Check if your Tilburg rental property falls under the scheme and consult the municipality website for local rent advice. Step 3: Compare the proposed increase with the statutory maxima; if exceeded, lodge an objection with the Rent Tribunal in Tilburg. Only net rent increase counts, excluding service charges. Landlords must submit the proposal before 1 May. In case of declining income, you can apply for remission via the Rent Tribunal or local Tilburg rent teams.
