Lieven de Key chooses the following distribution
Rent increase for higher income households is € 50 or € 100
If you have an upper-middle income or a high income, you will receive an income-related rent increase. This rent increase depends on the number of people in your household and the (joint) annual income of 2023. The Tax and Customs Administration determines which income category you belong to. Since the annual incomes for 2025 are not final yet, they look at your income for 2024.
* For young people living at home who are younger than 23 on 1 January 2025, only the income above €25,070 counts.
** We ensure that the rent does not exceed € 1,184.82.

You may have the right to different options. Together we will see if a suitable solution or agreement is possible. Check this page for all options.
The maximum rent for your home
Every rental property is assigned points for its quality. The more points your home gets, the higher the maximum rent can be. These points are calculated using the points system of the government's statutory home valuation.
From July 1, 2024, these rules have changed. This may make the maximum rent for your home higher or lower, depending on features such as size, the WOZ value, and the energy label.
Lieven de Key makes sure that your rent does not exceed the maximum rent that is allowed. Do you live in a monument or a new-build property? In that case, your maximum rent may be higher due to an additional charge.
You can always request the point calculation for your home through Contact & Service (020 621 43 33). For more information, also visitcheckjeprijs.huurcommissie.nl.
