Income-dependent rent increase can significantly affect your rent allowance in Rijswijk. Rent allowance, applied for via toeslagen.nl, is income-dependent and covers up to 35-45% of the rent for low incomes. In Rijswijk, where many tenants live in neighborhoods such as Innen and Remmerden, an increase often leads to a lower allowance, but not always proportionally to the rise. Immediately request a recalculation in case of an income change to receive your rightful allowance.
Conditions in Rijswijk: household income below €30,000-€38,000 and rent under €879 (2024). If there is an increase above the maximum rent price, you can retain the allowance via the Rent Tribunal in Rijswijk and lodge an objection. The municipality of Rijswijk offers extraordinary assistance for tenants in need; contact the Wmo counter or Social Team for advice and application. Thousands of Rijswijk residents receive rent allowance; an increase can cause higher net costs, especially in housing corporation properties of Woonbron or Vidomes.
