Throughflow encourages tenants in Tilburg above the social income limit to move to the private sector. The Housing Act and the Tilburg Housing Action Plan 2023-2027 promote this through incentives such as temporary rent freezes or moving compensations up to € 5,000, often via housing associations like WonenBreburg. The municipality coordinates via the Tilburg Throughflow Programme, targeting neighbourhoods such as Oud-Zuid and Het Zand.
If income exceeds € 47,699 (2024), you will receive a proposal from the housing association. Refusal may lead to rent increases up to the liberalisation limit (€ 1,163). Judicial review via the Rent Tribunal protects against arbitrariness, with local precedents in Tilburg cases.
Advantages of the private sector: greater choice in Tilburg's housing supply and no income checks. Disadvantages: higher rents without housing benefit, especially in popular areas like the Spoorzone. Practice in Tilburg: 15% successfully throughflow thanks to pilots with mid-range rental. Subsidies for starters via the Housing Construction Programme assist. Consult the National Housing Agreement and the Tilburg Housing Vision for updates; hire an advisor for negotiations with local housing associations. (198 words)
