Rent Allowance and WWS Maximum in Delft: Impact on Your Benefit

In Delft, exceeding the WWS maximum can seriously jeopardise your rent allowance, especially in popular neighbourhoods such as the city centre or around the Technical University. The allowance is calculated based on the 'actual rent', but in the case of unlawful increases above the Delft WWS limits, you must immediately inform the SVB. According to the Rent Allowance Act (article 10), the Tax Authorities recalculate the allowance at the correct, WWS-compliant price. Are you paying too much rent for your Delft property? Then apply for retroactive rent allowance via toeslagen.nl and stop overpaying. Use the trial calculation with the current WWS rate for Delft, which for 2024 varies by postcode area such as 2611-2629. In the event of a successful ruling by the Rent Tribunal in The Hague, the Tax Authorities will automatically apply this to your Delft tenancy agreement. For single persons, a national rent threshold of €879.66 applies, but locally stricter WWS limits up to €808 for smaller homes. Exceedance in Delft often leads to recoveries with fines by the municipality. Tip: report immediately in case of suspected exceedance to the Delft rent teams or Woonbond and link this to your ongoing WWS case. This way you prevent financial damage and maximise your allowance rights in this tight rental market.
