Would you like to actively participate in shaping the housing policy of the municipality of Eindhoven regarding room rentals and housing division?
Do you live in one of the following types of accommodations in Eindhoven:
A room in a student house or with a landlady/landlord;
A studio;
A house that you share, purchased by your parents or your housemate's parents?
Are you willing to remain involved for at least 1 year, preferably longer? Then the Room Rental and Housing Division Platform is for you!
We're looking for engaged tenants!
As we adjust the policy, we aim to involve representatives from tenants, landlords, and residents through a Platform. This is important because the policy is intended for these groups. It would be great if tenants, landlords, and neighbors are represented roughly equally.
That's why we're making this call: we still need tenants to join this existing Platform. Specifically, we are looking for individuals who rent a divided dwelling and also for expats who speak Dutch.
Enabling Affordable Housing In Eindhoven
There is a significant demand for small and affordable housing for various target groups. At the same time, we believe it's essential to ensure that neighborhoods are pleasant for all residents to live in together. To make this possible (or to continue making it possible), there are rules in Eindhoven regarding the use of houses for room rentals and housing division.
Adjusting Policy Rules
The municipality intends to amend the existing policy rules for room rentals and housing division. Currently, there are exceptions in the rules for certain areas (the lock-on areas). The municipality aims to have uniform rules for the entire city by modifying these rules. Additionally, new insights make it desirable to adjust the policy.
Meeting of the Room Rental and Housing Division Platform
The next meeting of the Platform will be held on Thursday evening, November 23, 2023, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. During this meeting, we will make progress in forming recommendations. We would greatly appreciate your participation! If you would like to see if this is something for you first, you are also very welcome!
