Highest rent increase in 30 years coming! Take action! 

Since 1993, rents have increased by 141%! By linking the rent increase to wage increases and inflation, tenants can count on a rent increase of up to 5.8% in the social sector and 5.5% in the private sector in 2024. This makes it the highest rent increase in 30 years! The objectionable income-related rent increases of €50 to €100 will also be maintained. While our wages have been moderated, rent has become unaffordable after years of cuts, mismanagement and market forces. A quarter of tenants cannot make ends meet financially after paying the rent.

STOP THE REAL ESTATE PROFITS! | Promotion at Provada June 11, 1:00 PM

Woonopstand will take action against Dutch real estate profiteers at the national real estate fair Provada on June 11 at 1 p.m. Parasitic real estate investors, private (large) landowners, slum landlords and other predatory investors come together here. They make the lives of many hundreds of thousands of people miserable. Participants in this fair are responsible for all kinds of abuses in public housing. Insecurity, flexibilization, evictions, unaffordability, fraud, gentrification, you name it. On June 11, they will negotiate, also together with municipalities and government agencies, about the future of our living environment. The consequences of this public-private partnership are destroying lives and making people homeless. That has to stop!
