Rent Allowance and WWS Maximum in Tilburg: Impact on Your Benefit

In Tilburg, exceeding the WWS maximum can seriously jeopardise your rent allowance, especially in popular neighbourhoods such as the Reeshof or Oud-Zuid. The allowance is based on the 'actual rent', but in cases of unlawful increases by landlords, you must immediately inform the SVB and the municipality of Tilburg. According to the Rent Allowance Act (article 10), the Tax Authorities recalculate the allowance based on the correct, WWS-compliant price. Are you paying too much rent for your home in Tilburg? Then apply for retroactive allowance via toeslagen.nl and stop overpaying. Use the trial calculation with the WWS maximum for Tilburg, which for 2024 varies per postcode area but often lies around €800 for starter homes. In the event of a successful ruling by the Rent Tribunal in Tilburg, the Tax Authorities will automatically apply this. For 2024, a national income limit and rent limit of €879.66 applies for single persons, but in Tilburg, exceedances more quickly lead to recoveries with fines due to stricter local controls. Tip: report immediately in case of suspected exceedance via the Wmo counter of the municipality of Tilburg and link this to your WWS case. This way, you minimise financial loss, prevent problems with special assistance and maximise your allowance rights in the region.
