Dear supporters,

In our fight for affordable housing and against annual rent increases, we are organizing a national meeting on September 21 in Den Bosch for local WWDH groups and active participants in the campaign. 

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.

Meeting in Leeuwarden, organized by Woonalarm, about refusing the rent increase.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 18 AT 1:00 PM:

PUBLIC MEETING IN ROOM CORNELIS TROOSTSTRAAT 48 (DE DOAS), Leeuwarden

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!

In response to the impending rent increases that are the highest in 30 years, we call on all tenants to unite and participate in our national online action meeting on May 4. Together we can make a difference in the fight for affordable housing.

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!

The Rent Increase (WWDH).

This year, the highest rent increase in 30 years is imminent. Rents have already increased by more than 35% over the past 10 years. This year they may increase by a maximum of 5.5% in the private sector and by a maximum of 5.8% in social rent. There is also an income-related rent increase and your rent may be increased by 25 euros (that is more than 5.8%) if it is lower than 300 euros per month.
