Rent Increase within the Points System in Tilburg

Rent increase in the points system in Tilburg follows the national rules, with annual percentages set by the minister plus inflation correction. For 2024, a maximum of 5.4% applies to social rental housing, which is common with Tilburg housing associations such as WonenBreburg and Trivire. In the case of property improvements, such as energy-efficient windows or new kitchens in neighbourhoods such as the Reeshof or Oud-Zuid, the increase may be higher, but only with the tenant's consent or approval from the Rent Committee. The new maximum rate is recalculated based on the adjusted points valuation. Landlords in Tilburg must submit the notice of termination in writing at least two months before the reference date, often linked to the annual rent reviews in April. Tenants can refuse increases if they are disproportionate to the investments. In disputes in Tilburg, the Rent Committee handles the case and provides binding advice, with local hearings for quick resolution. Collective increases, for example in large complexes around the Spoorzone, require consultation with the tenants' council or local residents' organisations. In Tilburg, the municipality encourages sustainable improvements through subsidies, which can justify rent increases within the system. This system ensures a balance between landlords and tenants and prevents arbitrariness. Always consult the current ministerial regulations and check with the municipality of Tilburg for local initiatives.
