Subsidies and Tax Benefits for Landlords in Renovation Projects in Westland

In Westland, landlords undertaking complex-wide renovations in greenhouse districts or residential neighbourhoods such as Naaldwijk and Monster can benefit under the 70% scheme from ISDE subsidies for insulation and HR++ glass, or SEEH for solar boilers on agricultural properties. The Rent Increase Act limits pass-through to 70%, but tax depreciation via EIA reduces the net burden for local landlords. Tenants in Westland must verify whether subsidies exceed the 70%, which leads to rent reduction claims at the Rent Tribunal in The Hague. RVO.nl handles applications; housing associations such as Vidomes receive priority via Woningborg, with additional focus on greenhouse horticulture transitions. Tax benefits via MIA for sustainable measures, such as ventilation in greenhouse dwellings, reduce corporate income tax. Tenants can demand insight into subsidy receipts for projects in Honselersdijk or Kwintsheul via FOIA requests to the Westland municipality. Recent changes in the Ventilation Act (2024) link subsidies to ventilation upgrades, crucial for Westland's humid climate. The Westland municipality offers supplementary local subsidies via the Sustainability Fund for renovations in Poeldijk. Abuse, such as double claiming with RVO and the municipality, leads to clawback and fines. (212 words)
