Entitlement to Rent Allowance in Delft: Conditions and Calculation
In Delft, rent allowance compensates low incomes for rents below the liberalisation threshold, particularly relevant in this student city with many affordable homes in neighbourhoods such as Poptahof and Vrijenban. In 2024, it depends on income, assets, rent price, and household composition. Maximum €400 per month for single persons with minimum income, ideal for Delft residents in social housing with housing associations such as Vestia.
Conditions for Rent Allowance in Delft
You qualify if your rent is below €879.66, income below €26,000 (single), and you are at least 18 years old. Note: in Delft, your landlord may not be the main tenant, and for room rentals in the city centre, the same threshold often applies. Specifically for Delft students: partnerships are included in the test.
