Determination of WWS Points for Maximum Rent in Westland

In Westland, the WWS maximum rent is calculated via the point system from the Decree on Point Systems for Rent Prices. Points are awarded based on characteristics such as floor area (up to 120 m²), kitchen facilities, bathroom, central heating, energy label and monument status. Properties with 145 points or fewer fall under social rent (max. €300 gross). Between 146-216 points, the liberalisation threshold applies (up to €879.66). Landlords in Westland, often active in the greenhouse horticulture sector around cores such as Naaldwijk and Monster, must accurately determine the number of points to prevent disputes. Tenants can calculate points using the calculation tool of the Central Government. For new construction, such as recent projects in Honselersdijk, or renovations in greenhouse dwellings, points are revised. The municipality of Westland adapts the system regionally based on the local rental market, influenced by the horticultural economy and shortage of affordable housing for seasonal workers. Example: a one-room apartment in Poeldijk with basic facilities scores approximately 80 points, with rent up to €250. Incorrect point allocation is a pitfall, especially for adapted horticultural accommodations. Consult the Rent Tribunal for binding advice. This ensures transparency in the Westland rental market.
