Rent Allowance in Combination with WWS Scheme in Rijswijk

In Rijswijk, rent allowance supplements the WWS maximum rent for low incomes, as regulated in the Rent Allowance Act. The municipality of Rijswijk, with its diverse neighbourhoods such as Innen and Oud-Rijswijk, offers many WWS-registered dwellings that qualify for this. Conditions: rent under €879.66, income up to €30,000 (single person) and assets under €37,395. Apply via Mijn toeslagen on toeslagen.nl with DigiD; locally, you can go to the Rijswijk social counter in the Town Hall at Bogaardlaan 11 for assistance. Amount depends on rent, income and household composition; on average €250 per month, with extra pressure due to the growing population in Rijswijk-ZH. WWS dwellings in Rijswijk qualify automatically if registered with the land registry. Timely reporting of changes via the Tax Authorities prevents recovery, especially relevant given the many renovations in Rijswijk complexes. In case of rent reduction due to WWS review, the allowance adjusts accordingly. Specifically for students at The Hague University of Applied Sciences or INHolland in nearby Delft: rooms up to €477 are eligible. Landlords in Rijswijk must consult the house number register via the municipal website. In 2024, the allowance increases by 6.9% due to inflation adjustment, providing extra help against rising rents in this region. This safety net reduces living costs in Rijswijk and promotes social mobility. Combine with local income-dependent schemes such as the municipality's extraordinary assistance for optimal benefit.
