Rent Reduction 2024,

In 2023, tenants who had an income below 120% of the minimum income in 2021 automatically received a rent reduction. Until December 30, 2024, you can apply for a rent reduction yourself if your income has decreased in the past six months. This involves a rent reduction to € 577.91. We also want to do something for residents who do not qualify for the Single Rent Reduction Act. That's why Lieven de Key has exceptions this year.

Single Rent Reduction Act


When is rent reduction application possible?

  • Your lease started before March 1, 2023.
  • You have not already had a rent reduction in 2023 under the Single Rent Reduction Act 2023. This was a rent reduction to € 575.03
  • Your rent in 2024 is higher than € 577,91.
  • You collectively have a low income.

At the time of your application, the income of the last six consecutive months is taken into account. We concert that income into an annual income. If your income is lower than or equal to the income limits in the list below, you can apply to us for a one-off rent reduction. This is possible till 30 December 2024.

  • Single-person households (without state pension) with an income up to and including € 12.420
  • Single-person households (with state pension) with an income up to and including € 13.215

Do you have a lower income that entitles you to housing benefit (huurtoeslag)?

And is your rent is too high for housing benefit? Then your rent can sometimes be reduced so that you can qualify for housing benefit. You can request a rent reduction if the rent has risen above the housing benefit limit (2024: €879.66) due to one or more income related rent increases. And if the household income has subsequently fallen below the standard income for the housing benefit. For more information, contact us at info@lievendekey.nl.
