Municipality of Dijk en Waard: applying for an affordable housing permit

Please note: you can apply for an affordable housing permit only if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.

You need a huisvestingsvergunning (affordable housing permit) if you want to rent a house below the rent subsidy limit.

Are you renting a home through SVNK (housing association)? Then they take care of the housing permit. Are you renting a house below the rent subsidy limit via a private landlord? Then apply for a housing permit.

To obtain a housing permit, you must meet certain conditions. For instance, there is an income limit to be eligible. The income per household may not exceed this limit.

You can find the current income limit on the website.

You do not need a housing permit if:

  • you rent a house above the rent subsidy limit
  • you buy a home

Applying online via DigiD
