Do you receive in Westland a house that does not suit your situation, such as in districts like Naaldwijk, Monster or Kwintsheul? Start an objection procedure immediately. Begin informally by complaining to the housing association, such as Vidomes or other active landlords in the region, within 8 weeks after the allocation decision. No solution? Submit a request to the Huurcommissie for binding advice; this is free and is handled within 10 weeks, ideal for the tight Westland housing market.
Still dissatisfied? Proceed to the district court in The Hague for annulment of the decision. Gather strong evidence: the rental offer, your registration details with Woonnet Rijnmond, income proofs, medical reports and possibly a report on the local housing ordinance of Westland. The Good Landlordship Act obliges housing associations to hear and be heard, with extra attention to the horticulture sector and agricultural backgrounds in Westland.
Statistics show a success rate of approximately 60% in Huurcommissie cases in comparable regions. Costs: court fee of € 85 at the district court, fully recoverable upon winning. Note the time pressure: carry out the procedure within 6 weeks after rejection, especially given the high demand for affordable housing in Westland due to the growing population and seasonal workers.
