What is a shared living group?

In a shared living arrangement, residents maintain a permanent and shared household (DGH).
In a shared living arrangement, more than two people may live together in one dwelling.
No permit is required for room rental. There is no permit or registration for a shared living arrangement. The municipality determines whether a dwelling qualifies as a shared living arrangement by looking at how the dwelling is used. During an inspection, an inspector will look at the following points:

The residents who will be living at this address will be doing so for the long term and not just for (part of) their studies. Therefore, a group of residents consisting of half or more students is not a shared living arrangement. (So, two people must be working, and only one can be a student!!)

All residents live in the same dwelling and pay all costs together.
No areas of the dwelling may be used by only one person.
There are no locks on bedroom doors.
There is one kitchen that is clearly suitable for shared use.
There is one living room that is clearly suitable as a shared space for all residents. The household costs are divided among each other.
