The rents in the social rental sector may therefore increase from July 1 with the legal maximum of 5%, and in the corporate sector by an average of up to 4.5%. The minister follows the advice of the Council of State not to submit the bill. Additionally, it has been announced today that the PVV is leaving the coalition. It has also become clear that the bill cannot count on a majority in the States General.

In the Spring Memorandum, it was agreed that rents for social rental homes would be frozen in 2025 and 2026. The bill provided for this. The Council of States advice confirmed the dilemmas that the minister previously outlined regarding the proposal. For instance, the Spring Memorandum did not provide sufficient compensation for housing corporations. As a result, corporations would be able to borrow less, leading to fewer homes being built and made more sustainable.
