The plan to freeze the rents of corporation homes has so many shortcomings that the Council of State refers to the trash. The bill has been taken into account and leads to unequal treatment of tenants.
Coalition parties PVV, VVD, NSC and BBB agreed during the nocturnal negotiations for the spring memorandum that rents in the social sector will be frozen for two years.
Woonminister Mona Keijzer has been given the complicated assignment to arrange this before 1 July. In recent weeks she has drawn up a bill under great time pressure.
The Council of State (RVS) finds this state of affairs “difficult”. Due to the haste, not all steps have been completed and the proposal has not been carefully established, the advisory body writes. The advice is therefore: do not continue this plan.
Keijzer speaks in a first reaction of “a strong advice”. The minister is now working on another report that she will discuss with the coalition leaders and the cabinet.
Half a million tenants fall outside the boat
The stainless steel also points to the principle of equal treatment, because the rent freezing does not apply to all tenants in the social sector.
About half a million people rent a social rental home from a private individual. For this group of tenants, the rent is not frozen, because according to the minister this is impracticable.
If the bill is adopted, one tenant will therefore have to deal with a rent increase and the other will not. This is difficult to explain to the court.
The stainless steel has even more to criticize. If corporations are not allowed to increase rents for two years, they must be compensated. The coalition has reserved money for this, but that amount is not sufficient. According to the RVS, this is at odds with the property right.
Corporations that receive less rent can also invest less in the construction of new homes. As a result, the construction of 100,000 homes per year is also under pressure. The corporations have already taken to court. The case serves Wednesday.
Keijzer, who is also not really happy with the rental freezing, recently hinted that she hopes that the coalition parties will come to other agreements.
All in all, the chance that rents are actually frozen is increasingly smaller. Keijzer does not have to follow the advice of the stainless steel, but in such a negative judgment, there is little chance that the Senate will agree to the plan.
The plan to freeze the rents of housing corporation homes has so many shortcomings that the counter of state is throwing it in the trash. The Bill was created carelessly and leads to hurqual treatment of tenants.
Coalition Parties PVV, VVD, NSC and BBB Agreed the Night Negotiations on the Spring Memorandum That Rents in the Social Sector Will Be Frozen for Two Years.
Housing Minister Mona Keijzer Has Been Given the Difficult Task of arranging this by July 1. In recent weeks, She has Drafted a Bill Under Great Time Pressure.
The Council of State (RVS) Considers this course of events “Objectionable”. Due to the haste, not all steps have leg completed and the proposal has not leg carefully prepared, the advisory body writes. The Advice is Therefore: Do not Process with this plan.
Keijzer Speaks in an Initial Reaction of “A Firm Advice”. The minister is now working on another report that she will discuss with the coalition leaders and the cabinet.
Half A Million Tenants Are Left Out In The Cold
The RVS also points to the principle of Equal Treatment, because the Rent Freeze will not Apply to All tenants in the social sector.
About Half A Million People runs a social housing from a private individual. The Rent Will Not Be Frozen for this Group of Tenants, because accordance to the minister this is impossible to implement.
If the Bill is passed, one tenant will face a rent increase and the other will not. This is Difficult to Explain in Court.
The stainless steel has more to criticize about the plan. If corporations are not allowed to increase rents for two years, they must be compensated. The Coalition Has Reserved Money For This, But That Amount is not Sufficient. Accordance to the stainless steel, this is at odds with the right of ownership.
Corporations That Receive Less Rent Can also Invest Less in the Construction of New Homes. As a result, the construction of 100,000 homes per year is also under pressure. The Corporations Have Already Tasks Legal Action. The case Will Be Heard on Wednesday.
Keijzer, who is not really happy with the rent freeze herself, recently hinted that she hopes that the coalition parties will come to other agreements.
All in all, the Chance That Rents Will Actually Be Frozen is getting narrower and narrower. Keijzer does not have to follow the advice of the stainless steel, but with such a negative judgment, it is unlikely that the senate will agree to the plan.
