Cabinet revises rent plans
Minister Piet Hein Donner will revise his planned amendment of the housing valuation system. He said that after a majority of the House members opposed the plan. Donner hopes to come up with revised plans in June.
In the earlier plan of Donner landlords would have more leeway in setting the rent for newcomers, which would increase investment opportunities in houses. However, especially students would severely be affected by this. The government planned to increase the maximum rent with 120 euros per month for new tenants.
