Maximum Rent Increase Percentages in the Regulated Sector 2024 for Delft

For 2024, the maximum rent increase percentage in the regulated sector in Delft has been set at 2.3% for social housing, based on the national consumer price index. In the Delft rental market, where housing associations such as Vestia and HSD manage many social homes, the increase in the mid-rent sector may not exceed this percentage, unless approved by the Housing Authority. For the transitional sector in neighborhoods such as Tanthof or Voorhof, a phased increase applies, maximum 5% per year, to facilitate the transition to the free sector in Delft. Landlords in Delft must justify the increase with a Quality Mark document or ministerial decision. Service charges, such as homeowners' association contributions in student housing around TU Delft, may be increased separately, but exclusively based on actual cost increases, for example due to rising maintenance costs for historic buildings. Tenants with rent allowance in Delft benefit indirectly, as the allowance compensates for the increase, particularly relevant for students and young families in the city. Check your rent price via the housing valuation system (WOZ point system): at the liberalization threshold (around €900) you may shift to the free sector, which in Delft's tight market adds extra pressure. In case of dispute, you can go to the Rent Tribunal, which decides within 6 weeks; local advice points in Delft, such as the Woonpunt, offer free support. Stay alert to timely payment to prevent forced eviction, especially with the high demand for affordable rent in this student city. These rules ensure affordable housing for Delft residents.
