Step 1 of the rent check
WWS is the Dutch Housing Valuation System, also known as the points system for rental properties.
You only pay us when we successfully achieve a rent reduction. Our fee consists of two months of the monthly saving and 30% of any repayment.
The number of points determines the maximum permitted rent and the applicable rental sector.

Frequently asked questions about the rent check
We receive many questions about renting, rent checks and maximum rental prices. The most common questions are answered here.
Many tenants pay more than is legally permitted. Whether your rent is too high depends on the Housing Valuation System, which considers factors such as floor area, energy label, property value and facilities.
The initial assessment usually takes only a few minutes. Additional documents may be required for a comprehensive assessment.
The points system determines a property's maximum rent. Points are awarded for floor area, energy efficiency, kitchen, bathroom and property value.
Yes, in many situations the Rent Tribunal can lower a rent that exceeds the statutory maximum. We determine the appropriate procedure and support the full process.
Yes. Rooms, studios and non-self-contained accommodation are often covered by a separate points system and maximum rents.
A landlord cannot simply evict a tenant because the rent is being checked. Tenants have statutory rights and protection.
A landlord may take a Rent Tribunal decision to court, although most decisions are followed. The assessment is based on objective rules rather than the landlord's discretion.
The tenant's fee for starting a procedure is generally €25. This amount is usually refunded when the tenant succeeds.
Rental prices depend on the type of property, its location, quality, energy efficiency and the rules that apply to the tenancy. The points system provides an objective basis for determining the maximum permitted rent.
Mid-market rent is the segment between social housing and the private sector. Since 1 July 2024, many mid-market homes are also subject to a maximum rent based on the points system.
