How are rent increases regulated?

The tenancy agreement states which method is used to increase the rent as a number of variants are possible.

The Dutch government sets the maximum percentage for rent increases on social housing sector properties.

Until 2021, in principle, there was no maximum rent increase in the deregulated sector, but the rent was often increased annually using a method based on inflation. The national government has determined that rents in the deregulated sector may not rise faster than the wage development plus 1 percent from January 2023.
