March 2025

Since 1993, rents have increased by 153%! This year, many Rotterdam corporations, investors and private landlords are adding a maximum of 5% on top of that for social housing and 7.7% for mid-range rent! While our wages were moderated, rent has become unaffordable after years of cutbacks, mismanagement and market forces. A quarter of tenants cannot make ends meet after paying their rent! To tackle the housing crisis, the government must structurally invest in public housing instead of unilaterally passing the bill on to the tenants.

Domplein Saturday 10 May at 14:00. We are fed up with the annual rent increases! After the unprecedented rent increases of last year, we can expect significant increases again this year. A huge rent explosion threatens all tenants. On 10 May at 14:00 the housing movement, a coalition of tenant organisations, residents' groups and activists, will demonstrate for lower rents.

Stop the rent explosion! Take action & hit the streets for rent reduction. Organize a flyer campaign with your tenants' association, organization, action group or neighborhood or get started with our posters & stickers.

In 2025, tenants can expect a rent increase of up to 5% in the social sector, 7.7% in the mid-range rental sector and 4.1% in the private sector. After the highest rent increase in 30 years in 2024, another mega rent increase will follow in 2025! The reprehensible income-related rent increases of €50 or €100 will also be maintained. While our wages have been and are being kept low for decades, the rent has increased enormously. These were the years in which housing was turned into a market. A quarter of tenants live below the poverty line and another large part cannot make ends meet financially, partly as a result of the excessively high rent. They have to cut back on basic needs in order to be able to pay the housing costs. With this policy, we are perpetuating inequality, insecurity of existence and the housing crisis. We demand lower rents!
