Maximum Rent Increase Percentages in the Regulated Sector 2024 for Tilburg

For 2024, the maximum rent increase percentages in the regulated sector in Tilburg have been set at 2.3% for social housing, based on the national consumer price index. In the tender sector, where many Tilburg housing corporations such as WonenBreburg operate, the increase may not exceed this percentage unless approved by the Housing Authority. For the transitional sector in neighborhoods like Oud-Zuid or Het Zand, a phased increase applies, never exceeding 5% per year to facilitate the transition to the private sector. Landlords in Tilburg must justify the increase with a certification document or ministerial decision. Service charges, such as owners' association (VvE) contributions in apartment complexes on Heuvelstraat or Korvel, may be increased separately, but solely based on actual cost increases, such as rising maintenance costs due to municipal regulations. Tenants receiving housing allowance in Tilburg benefit indirectly, as the allowance compensates for the increase, particularly relevant for first-time renters in Piushaven. Check your rent via the housing valuation system (WOZ points system): at the liberalization threshold (around €900), you may shift to the private sector, which adds extra pressure in Tilburg's tight housing market. In case of disputes, you can turn to the Rent Tribunal, which decides within 6 weeks; local advisors from the Legal Counter in Tilburg offer free support. Remain vigilant about timely payments to avoid forced eviction, especially due to stricter enforcement in the city. These regulations, in line with the Tilburg Housing Market Policy, protect affordable rent for thousands of residents.
