1 min leestijd

Do you receive housing in Rijswijk that does not suit your situation? Start an objection procedure immediately. Begin informally by complaining to your housing association, such as Duyvesteyn Wonen or Vidomes, within 8 weeks after the allocation decision. No solution? Submit a request to the Huurcommissie for binding advice; this is free and will be handled within 10 weeks.

Still dissatisfied? Proceed to the subdistrict court (kantonrechter) in The Hague for annulment of the decision. Gather strong evidence: the rental offer in Rijswijk, your registration details with Woonmatch, income proofs, and medical reports. The Good Landlordship Act obliges housing associations in Rijswijk to provide a hearing and opportunity to respond, with extra attention to the tight housing market in this municipality.

Statistics show a success rate of approximately 60% in Huurcommissie cases. Costs: court fee €85 at the subdistrict court, fully recoverable upon success. Note the time pressure: complete the procedure within 6 weeks after rejection to avoid issues with the urgent waiting lists in Rijswijk.
