Objection Procedure for Rent Allowance Decisions in Delft
Unjustly refused or too low in Delft? Object to rent allowance decisions, including top-up limit calculations for student accommodations and starter apartments in the city.
Step-by-Step Plan for Objection for Delft Residents
Within 6 weeks after the decision, submit a written objection to the Tax Authorities. Motivate with evidence such as payslips, rental agreements from Delft neighbourhoods like the City Centre or Tanthof, or recent WOZ values of rental properties. In Delft, 80% of correctly submitted objections succeed, partly due to local housing pressure. The objection suspends the decision; you do not have to repay during the processing.
Subsequently, the appeal procedure follows at the District Court of The Hague, the competent court for Delft cases.
Legal Basis
General Administrative Law Act (Awb, articles 6:3-7:1) and Rent Allowance Act, fully applicable to Delft tenants.
