Combining Rent Allowance and Point Assessment in Westland

Rent allowance is available for lower incomes in Westland, including private sector homes with point assessment. The allowance covers up to 35% of the difference between rent and an income-dependent deduction. For 2024, a maximum rent limit of €900 applies for singles, but for point assessment rental properties in greenhouse and garden villages such as 's-Gravenzande or Naaldwijk, you can receive allowance if the calculated rent falls below this. Calculate your entitlement via toeslagen.nl using income, assets, and rent price. Increases via point assessment may reduce allowance, so check adjustments with the Westland municipality. In case of objection to an increase, you may retain more allowance. Local housing associations such as Vidomes must take allowance into account in indexation in Westland. Incorrect rent prices lead to recovery of allowance. Tip: register your tenancy agreement with the Tax Authorities for automatic calculation. In 2023, 1.2 million households benefited nationwide, including many Westland garden workers.
