Vulnerable Delft residents, such as chronically ill persons or students at TU Delft, can apply for leniency via the Tax Authorities or local agencies such as the Wmo counter of the municipality of Delft.

In case of debts, you can apply for rent freeze via the municipality. Seek legal assistance via your legal expenses insurance or free advice at the Juridisch Loket in Delft.
