Housing Valuation in Rental Disputes in Tilburg

In Tilburg, the housing valuation determines the maximum rent in the regulated sector, with special attention to local characteristics such as the green location near the Spoorzone or the city center. The **Housing Valuation System (WWS)** uses a points-based system based on surface area, amenities such as energy labels and monument status, energy index, and specific location advantages in Tilburg. Paying too much rent for your apartment on Heuvelstraat or terraced house in Reeshof? Request a valuation report from your landlord or the **Rent Assessment Committee (Huurcommissie)**. If the rent exceeds the **deregulation threshold (€808.06 in 2024)** but the points score is too low due to defects such as damp in older buildings, demand a rent reduction. Use the **Dutch government’s online WWS tool** for a quick calculation, tailored to Tilburg housing types. In case of disagreement, initiate a procedure: the Rent Assessment Committee will assess and adjust the rent, taking regional real estate developments into account. Landlords in Tilburg must include the report when proposing a rent increase; tenants have ten weeks to respond. After renovations in urban renewal projects such as the Westermarkt, the valuation changes. Keep evidence of local issues, such as leaks due to heavy rainfall or insulation defects, to deduct points. This system protects Tilburg tenants from excessive rents in a tight housing market. Consult up-to-date points tables and engage a **rental law attorney** for complex cases involving municipal subsidies or **WOZ (property tax) values**.
