The abolition of the tax for Dutch social housing landlords results in immediate commitments to better housing

Limited rent increases in the next 3 years, 675.000 insulated homes, and nearly half a million social housing off the gas grid make part of a new agreement in the Netherlands

As of 1 January 2023, landlords in the Netherlands will no longer be paying a tax for renting out homes at a rate below 737 euros. For a decade, the famous landlord levy that entered into force back in 2013, has been affecting almost only mission-oriented social housing providers given that privately-rented homes in the country have been drastically exceeding this threshold. Now that the abolition will be a fact in less than six months, Dutch social housing associations will have this operational cash flow back that will allow them to act on multiple fronts. We have spoken with our member, Aedes about a new set of binding performance agreements that set the bar high.

The case of the Aedes Benchmark

November is an exciting month for social housing providers in the Netherlands. Every year, with a mix of hope and anxiety, it is when the results of the Aedes-Benchmark are published. This year will be the fourth edition after the benchmark was launched in 2014. The benchmark was introduced to make sure social housing corporations stay alert and learn from colleague corporations. It was a reaction to a series of incidents that plagued the sector around 2010. The sector came under public and political pressure to improve its performances and the level of transparency. The benchmark has proven to be a valuable instrument since then.

Measures that make retrofits attractive, acceptable, and affordable

The goal of the project is to raise awareness and provide guidance on the different phases of the home renovation. To be able to do this online and in full safety, the team met virtually over a boardgame to discuss complex renovation measures and concepts.
