Wat vindt u van het wetsvoorstel betaalbare huur en de onderliggende besluiten?
Several studies have now shown that the rental of homes becomes unprofitable when the liberalization limit is extended to 186 points on the basis of the existing WWS. Amsterdam has a relatively large number of homes with a small surface area, renting out these homes on the basis of the WWS is in many cases even loss-making. It goes without saying that landlords will not rent out homes at a loss and in that case will withdraw from the Amsterdam housing market. As a result, the total rental supply will shrink sharply. Instead of an increase in the supply of medium-priced rental housing, there will be a decrease.
The housing market is primarily a stock market. In practice, people are therefore mainly dependent on the supply in the existing housing stock. The large-scale expansion of rental housing will therefore lead to an even greater scarcity on the rental market in the short term and thus to an even stronger increase in rents in the decimated private rental sector. The gap between regulated rent and supply in the private rented sector will thus only widen in the coming years. The prevention of high rents in the private rental sector cannot be achieved by making the supply here even smaller nor by fixing the rents by law at a level that this is no longer cost-covering.
If home seekers are unable or unwilling to buy and in the future can only go on the waiting list for a regulated rental property, the current waiting list of 13 years means that many people will no longer be able to settle in Amsterdam. For cities with an international business climate such as Amsterdam, this is disastrous. The companies and educational institutions in the city that are heavily dependent on 'young professionals' and expats are in trouble as a result. In the long term, this will have major negative consequences for employment and the competitive position of Amsterdam. Amsterdam's lobby to attract international companies and institutions to the city is thus nullified.
New good landlordship law - The college is lobbying in The Hague for the abolition of temporary leases. This is unwise, as it would significantly limit the flexibility of the housing market. Many rental properties will no longer be rented out if the landlord has no certainty that the property will also be released again. Especially in times of scarcity, the solution will partly also have to be found in homes with temporary leases.
