The income limit determines whether you qualify for social rental housing in Rijswijk. For 2024, the maximum income is €47,699 for a single-person household and €52,671 for a multi-person household (reference date 2022). These limits are established under the Housing Act and are indexed annually by the Ministry. In Rijswijk, as a municipality in the Haaglanden region, housing associations such as Rijswijk Wonen and Vidomes strictly apply these national standards.
Does your income exceed the limit? Then you do not qualify for social housing, except through urgency procedures or the local starter scheme for young families. Always verify your assessable income via the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration. Housing associations verify this using the Valuation Income from the register.
Exceptions apply for AOW pensioners, benefit recipients with allowances, and caregivers. Specifically in Rijswijk, there is a reserve pool for middle incomes in new-build projects around the Bogaard and In de Bolle.
Report changes in your situation promptly to the municipality or housing association to maintain your registration. In cases of fraud, such as providing incorrect income details, you risk exclusion from the housing market regulation for 4 years. Use the SVB calculation tool for an estimate and register via Woonmatch Rijswijk. This helps avoid issues when allocating scarce social rental housing in this popular commuter municipality.
