11,232 social housing tenants earn too much. According to figures from the Flemish Minister for Housing Liesbeth Homans (N-VA). 541 tenants earn annually even more than 70,000 euros net.
"Break their lease is not. But the new contracts are temporary." Which in 2010 earned 8,865 people still really too much to be able to hire a social property, that there are already 11,232 in 2014. "The number of tenants that sits above the upper limit of 35 298 euros, rising year after year," said Homans. "About 7.5% of social tenants have an income above the maximum limits." Sometimes it involves people who have improved themselves and earn more, "explains Björn Mallants, director of the Association of Flemish housing.
"But in many cases there are other causes Ageing, children living example, which provide an income or severance pay, for example, addition, many social tenants historically explained with incomes too high... They are covered by an old regulation . Before the '90s were not so closely watched. " Anyway, the 11,232 social tenants can not lose their home."That would be a breach of contract," said Homans. By January 1, 2017 should be the law of the new - temporary - contracts around.
