Affordable Rent Act (Wet betaalbare huur) implemented

The Affordable Rent Act (Wet betaalbare huur) came into effect on July 1, 2024, aiming to ensure that landlords charge rents commensurate with housing quality. It modernizes the housing valuation system (WWS) for mid-rental homes and strengthens tenant protection, allowing municipalities to intervene in cases of excessive rent.
