FEWER AND FEWER STUDENTS ARE RENTING ROALS. Accordance to Kences, The Knowledge Center for Student Housing, They Are Giving Up Hope Of Finding A Room. More than half of the Students are not active looking or are less active.
Currently, 44 percent of students at Universities and Colleges live in Roman. Eight years ago, that was 52 percent.
Approximately 5 percent of Living at home are actively looking for a room. The Group That is not activy looking or is less active has grown from 40 percent to more than 50 percent.
Kences Estimates The Current Shortage of Student Rooms at 21,500. Students who have given up hope are not included in that figure. The Actual Shortage is Therefore Higher, Accordination to the Researchers.
The problem does not appear to be getting any better in the coming years. It is estimated that the shortage will increase significantly in the coming years.
Supply of Rooms Decreases
The Total Supply of Student Rooms is Decreasing. This has to do with private landlords selling many homes after the introduction of stricter rules. Accordance to Kences, they are responsible for the largest part of the market for student rooms.
“In the Past Year, the Number of Students in Private Student Roman has decreased by 17,800. Accordance to figures from the land registry, the sale of private student rooms is Still Increasing. The Peak of the Sale does not Yet Appear to Have Been Reached.”
Kences director Jolan de Bie Calls for New Rules. “Allowing Temporary Contracts for All Students can Stimulate Rental,” She Says. Accordance to Her, Municipalities Can also “Allow Housing Sharing Up To Three Or Four People Without A Permit”.
