Maintenance Obligation of Housing Corporation for Social Rental Housing in Rijswijk

In Rijswijk, housing corporations such as Vidomes and Wooninvest must keep social rental housing in good condition, appropriate for green neighbourhoods such as Innen and Remmerden. Minor repairs (up to € 250) are the tenant's responsibility, but corporations are responsible for major maintenance such as roofs, pipes, painting and facades. Report defects in writing via your corporation's online reporting system or the municipal app; response time maximum 14 days, in accordance with Rijswijk agreements. In case of non-compliance in Rijswijk, you can enforce rent reduction via the Rent Tribunal, up to 100% in case of uninhabitability. The Good Landlordship Act obliges corporations to carry out planned maintenance, which aligns with the Rijswijk performance agreements with the municipality for sustainable housing. Collect evidence with photos, own inspections and reports from neighbourhood teams. Defects make a property unsuitable for allocation, especially in popular neighbourhoods such as Patrimonium.
