Housing Swap Rules for Social Rental Housing in Tilburg

Housing swaps for social rental housing in Tilburg are possible with approval from the local housing associations, such as WonenBreburg and Trivire. Both tenants must swap appropriately: no step up in size, number of bedrooms or rent price, in line with the Tilburg appropriateness criteria. Submit an application to your housing association with motivation, such as proximity to work in the Spoorzone or family in the Reeshof, plus mutual consent from all parties involved. The housing association checks solvency, rent arrears and household composition. In Tilburg, approval is generally given within 4 weeks; refusal is only permitted for compelling reasons, such as structural nuisance or violation of the housing policy. This encourages mobility on the tight Tilburg rental market and fits within local appropriate allocation. Find matches via platforms such as Ruilwoning.nl or the Tilburg Housing Swapper app from the municipality. In case of disputes over refusal, you can involve the court via the subdistrict court in Den Bosch, with reference to the national Housing Act and local regulations.
