Dutch legislation "Affordable Rent" not declared controversial

Acting Housing Minister Hugo de Jonge seems to be getting the green light to continue his proposed regulation of the rental market. During a procedural meeting, none of his proposed housing laws were labeled as controversial. This has consequences for you as a landlord.

The primary consequence for landlords is the crucial need for an accurate point count for their rental properties to determine if they can still be rented out in the free market.

With the proposed bill, tenants have increasingly more opportunities to bring disputes before the rent commission. And due to the uproar in the media, they are becoming more aware of this option. This makes it even more important for you as an investor to adopt a considered rental pricing policy. Managing your rent prices correctly becomes an essential aspect of your property management.

Why should you have your WWS point count in order?

A carefully maintained point count can significantly help prevent disputes and conflicts with the Rent Commission. This means that potential issues regarding rent prices and other matters between landlords and tenants can be avoided.

A carefully managed point count enables investors not only to calculate the maximum rent based on the Housing Valuation System (WWS) but also provides insight into whether their rental properties fall in the free sector. This understanding is vital to comply with current legislation and to prevent rents from being raised unlawfully. Moreover, it opens the door to different regulatory frameworks and business opportunities that can vary significantly from the regulated rental sector.

With upcoming stricter enforcement in the field of real estate regulations, it is crucial for investors to keep their point count accurate and up-to-date. This ensures they can avoid fines and legal complications, leading to smoother and legally compliant operation of their property portfolio. So it's wise to take the point count seriously and manage it well, as it's a foundational aspect of effective property management.

What do you need for the WWS point count?

Correctly executing a point count for rental properties is a challenge that requires profound knowledge. It's an investment in legal compliance, preventing conflicts, and optimizing rental income, invaluable to every investor. As an investor, you must be skilled in several critical aspects:

A thorough knowledge of rental laws and regulations is vital since they constantly change and can influence the point count. Even minor changes can have significant implications for the legal status of a rental property.

Additionally, you must understand the Housing Valuation System (WWS), which forms the backbone of the point count. This system evaluates various features of a property and assigns points based on them. Deep insight into the WWS is essential for an accurate point count.

Manually executing a point count is a time-consuming task requiring a detailed approach. Every aspect of the property, from room size to amenities, must be precisely analyzed. All subtleties that might affect the final point count should be considered.

Fortunately, the Realite App offers a more efficient approach. It allows investors to perform point counts without time-intensive manual calculations. This valuable tool helps investors manage their property portfolio more effectively and keep up with ever-changing regulations.
