Wet Betaalbare Huur
Update: 28 juni 2024
Met ingang van maandag 1 juli 2024 zal de Wet Betaalbare Huur intreden. Deze wet is niet goed voor zowel huurders als verhuurders. Er komen veel strengere regels voor verhuurders om hun woningen te verhuren. Met al die regels wordt het aanbod van huurwoningen alsmaar kleiner. Veel, vooral kleinere woningen, worden niet meer verhuurd maar verkocht.
Meer informatie volgt op maandag 1 juli 2024.
