Rent Allowance and WWS Maximum in Westland: Impact on Your Benefit

In Westland, with greenhouse complexes in 's-Gravenzande and Naaldwijk, exceeding the WWS maximum can seriously jeopardise your rent allowance. The allowance is based on the 'actual rent', but in the event of unlawful increases in Westland rental properties, you must inform the SVB immediately. According to the Rent Allowance Act (article 10), the Tax Authorities recalculate the allowance based on the correct, WWS-compliant price. Are you paying too much rent due to local market prices? Then apply for retroactive allowance via toeslagen.nl and stop overpaying. Use the trial calculation with the WWS maximum for Westland. In the event of a successful ruling by the Rent Tribunal in The Hague, the Tax Authorities will automatically apply this to your Westland address. For 2024, an income limit and rent limit of €879.66 applies for single persons; exceedance leads to recoveries with fines. Tip: report immediately in case of suspicion to the Westland municipality and link it to your WWS case via the Wmo counter. This way you minimise financial loss due to high Westland rents and maximise your allowance rights with local support.
