Not every rental property in Westland falls under the maximum rental points system. Exceptions apply to luxury private-sector homes above €808.06 (2024), temporary contracts shorter than six months, student rooms at Inholland University of Applied Sciences in Monster, company housing near greenhouses in 's-Gravenzande and Naaldwijk, and rentals to family members. After large-scale renovation of typical Westland greenhouse horticulture apartments, the rent may be deregulated. Room rentals in the vibrant center of Poeldijk and serviced apartments in Honselersdijk have their own rules under the local Westland Housing Ordinance 2024. Landlords must demonstrate compliance during inspections by the Municipality of Westland. Tenants in these exceptional cases have less protection but can turn to the subdistrict court in The Hague in cases of excess. The distinction between regulated and private sectors is crucial for contracts in this horticultural municipality. Recent legislative changes have tightened thresholds to prevent abuse, such as in seasonal worker housing. Always consult the current rent liberalisation threshold at rijksoverheid.nl and the Westland housing regulations for specific regional nuances. This article helps you navigate the grey areas of rental legislation in Westland.
