Income-dependent rent increase can significantly affect your rent allowance in Tilburg. Rent allowance, applied for via toeslagen.nl, is income-dependent and covers up to 35-45% of the rent for low incomes. In Tilburg, where many tenants live in neighborhoods such as Oud-Zuid and Het Zand, a rent increase often leads to a lower allowance, but not always to the same extent. Immediately request a recalculation in the event of an income change to receive your rightful amount.
Conditions in 2024: income below €30,000-€38,000 and rent below €879. In Tilburg, in the event of increases above the maximum point, you can maintain your allowance via the Huurcommissie in Apeldoorn, with local support via the Woonloket Tilburg. Combine this with extraordinary assistance from the municipality of Tilburg; they offer extra help for tenants in financial distress, especially in districts such as Tilburg Noord. Thousands of Tilburg residents receive rent allowance; an increase can cause net higher costs.
