A recent report by the Ministry of the Interior states that there were fewer total 262 400 social housing in 2015 than in 2009. Average disappeared 119 properties per day concludesWoonbond after a relatively simple calculation.
NOT WRECKED
And that is not because they are scrapped and not because there is no demand for cheap rents.
No, most social housing disappearing, sold or go into the free rental sector. According Aedes, the association of housing corporations, there are two reasons. "Firstly, municipalities that they need means expensive rental properties, between 700 and 1,000 euros per month. Since giving corporations partially complied with, "says a spokesman.
But more important is the property tax introduced in 2013. Corporations have to pay since then tax on the value of their social housing. That tax runs in 2017 to 1.7 billion euros per year. In order to be able to bring this rent be increased and sold houses. This leaves less money to invest in new social rental housing.
FINE
The Woonbond calls the landlord charged as the main culprit. "We are the only country in the world that imposes a penalty on the hiring of social housing," says Woonbond Director Ronald Paping. "This has led to skyrocketing rents, and raised a threshold to invest in social housing. So tenants and house hunters to foot the bill of this unjust tax. "
