Rent Allowance and WWS Maximum in Rijswijk: Impact on Your Benefit

In Rijswijk, exceeding the WWS maximum can seriously jeopardise your rent allowance, especially for rental properties in neighbourhoods such as Innen or Oud-Rijswijk. The allowance is based on the 'actual rent', but in the event of an unlawful increase above the WWS ceiling, you must immediately inform the SVB and the municipality of Rijswijk. According to the Rent Allowance Act (article 10), the allowance is recalculated on the basis of the correct, WWS-compliant price. Are you paying too much rent in a Rijswijk housing association property? Then apply for retroactive allowance via the Tax Authorities and stop overpaying. Use the trial calculation on toeslagen.nl with the WWS maximum for Rijswijk. In the event of a successful ruling by the Rent Tribunal, the Tax Authorities will automatically apply this, and you can contact the municipality of Rijswijk for additional support via the Wmo counter. For 2024, an income limit and rent limit of €879.66 applies for single persons in the Haaglanden region. Exceedance leads to recoveries with fines, which can be particularly painful in Rijswijk due to the high house prices. Tip: report immediately in case of suspicion of exceedance to the Rijswijk rent teams and link this to your ongoing WWS case with the municipality. This way you minimise financial loss, maximise allowance entitlements and benefit from local Rijswijk regulations.
