Action meeting 'Refuse the Rent Increase' The Hague | Wednesday May 29, 7:30 PM

Since 1993, rents have increased by 141%! This year, the Hague corporations will add another 5.3%! 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! To tackle the housing crisis, the government must structurally invest in public housing instead of unilaterally passing the bill on to tenants.

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!

WWDH Utrecht | Action at STUW: Stop the Rent Increase

We are done with the annual rent increase! The maximum rent is increased every year without landlords considering whether this is necessary. This year it is up to 5.8%. That's 30 euros extra per month, which makes a huge difference for some. In these expensive times it is important that there is enough left after paying the rent for other necessary expenses!
