Rent allowance is available for lower incomes in Rijswijk, including for private sector dwellings with points-based rent assessment. The allowance covers up to 35% of the difference between the rent and an income-dependent deduction. For 2024, a maximum rent limit of €900 applies for single persons, but for points-based rent dwellings in Rijswijk, you can receive allowance if the calculated rent falls below this. In neighbourhoods such as Innen and Steenvoorde, where points-based rent assessment is common, tenants often benefit from this scheme.
Calculate your entitlement via toeslagen.nl using your income, assets, and rent price. Increases via points-based rent assessment can reduce your allowance, so check adjustments with the Municipality of Rijswijk or Huurteam Haaglanden. In case of objection to an increase, you may retain more allowance. Housing associations such as Vidomes and Mozaïek Wonen must take rent allowance into account during indexation in Rijswijk. Incorrect rent prices lead to recovery of allowance. Tip: register your tenancy agreement with the Tax Authorities for automatic calculation and consult the Rijswijk Tenants' Interests Association in case of disputes. In 2023, 1.2 million households benefited nationwide, with thousands in Rijswijk. Combine with income support via the municipality for optimal benefit.
