Calculation of the Income Ceiling in 2024 for Rijswijk

The calculation of the income ceiling for social rental housing in Rijswijk follows strict rules based on the gross annual income of the tenant and any benefit recipients. In 2024, the ceiling is €44,035 for a single person and €59,336 for a multi-person household, as established by the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations and fitting the Hague region in which Rijswijk is located. These amounts are indexed annually. In Rijswijk, with around 65,000 inhabitants and a thriving supply of social rental housing via housing associations such as Vidomes and Rijswijk Wonen, landlords meticulously check your income via the Tax Authorities. To calculate your personal ceiling, add up all income sources: salary, benefits, pension, and secondary income, minus deductions such as study costs or commuting expenses for work in the region. If exceeded, you receive an 'income-dependent rent increase' or a two-year departure period, which is particularly relevant in Rijswijk due to the tight housing market near The Hague. Example: a family in the Innen neighbourhood with two children and a joint income of €65,000 exceeds the ceiling by €5,664, upon which the housing association takes action. You can lodge an objection if the calculation is incorrect, supported by Article 1.1 of the Housing Act. Local tip: update your income details promptly with your Rijswijk housing association and check the municipal website for subsidies on rent costs, to avoid surprises in this growing municipality.
