Rental Agreements and WWS Applicability in Tilburg

In Tilburg, not all rental agreements fall under the Housing Valuation Act (WWS); room rentals in student areas such as around Tilburg University, holiday homes in the Loonse en Drunense Duinen, and company homes at industrial estates such as near the Spoorzone are excluded (Article 7:232 CC). For social housing in Tilburg, a housing association such as WonenBreburg or Trivire is often required as landlord, or the rent must remain below the liberalisation threshold of €879.66 (2024). Exceeding this applies free price formation, but with the statutory notice period of one month for temporary contracts. Check Tilburg contracts specifically for clauses on service charges for maintenance in older neighbourhoods such as the city centre and indexation linked to CPI. Invalid terms, such as unilateral termination by landlords, are null and void under the CC. In case of doubt about qualification: contact the Rent Tribunal, with an office in Tilburg. Digital rental agreements must comply with eIDAS rules for validity.
