Rent Price Protection for Temporary Rental Agreements in Tilburg

In Tilburg, temporary rental agreements fall under strict rent price protection, particularly relevant in neighbourhoods such as Oud-Zuid and the Reeshof where many starters rent. The maximum rent price is determined via the housing valuation system (article 7:245 DCC). Use the Rent Price Check on Rijksoverheid.nl or check with Woonbedrijf Tilburg for local insights. In case of exceedance, you can apply to the Rent Tribunal for reduction within six months. For temporary contracts, no liberalisation threshold applies; all rental housing in Tilburg has been protected since 2016, including in growing neighbourhoods such as Het Zand. The landlord may not demand an excessive deposit (max. two months' rent), a common issue with private landlords around the TU/e campus. Upon conversion to indefinite term, the price remains intact. Disputes in Tilburg: tenants often win in cases of excessive prices, as in recent cases supported by Huurteam Tilburg. Tip: add the point of entry for the correct WOZ reference date, crucial for Tilburg social housing corporation dwellings. Corporations such as Woonbedrijf must ensure affordability according to the local Housing Allocation Ordinance. Practical examples: starter homes in the Koistraat with hidden service charges or parking surcharges. In Tilburg's tight market, vigilance is key; consult the Juridisch Loket Tilburg for free advice.
