Where will the rent increase go?

We need the rental income to maintain, improve and build new homes. In the incoming years, we will deploy extra people and resources to make our homes more sustainable. Lieven de Key’s ambition is to improve all homes with energy labels E, F or G by 2028 at the latest. By making them more energy efficient, we contribute to keeping housing costs affordable. This is becoming increasingly difficult because the cost of maintenance increases every year. By raising the rent, we can continue to maintain all homes well and make them more sustainable.
