Maximum legal rent estimate

Use this rent price check to estimate the maximum legal rent for a home. The estimate now includes common WWS drivers from listings such as storage area, outdoor space, heating, parking, and selected legal surcharges like newbuild or monument status. You can then add your own base rent for a quick check against the regulated range. This is only an estimate and not an official Huurcommissie calculation.

Self-contained status and facilities

Communal facilities

Shared building facilities count as separate points in the official WWS (rubriek 9). Switch on what the building actually has.

Legal pricing adjustments

Only switch these on when the legal conditions are genuinely met. They can materially raise the allowed rent.

Result summary

This estimate sits in the mid-rent range, with a table amount around €1,118.23. Whether that acts as a real cap depends heavily on the signed contract date. Without the contract date, a high asking rent is not enough to conclude that the rent is illegal. Add the contract start date or verify the case in the official Huurprijscheck.

Notes

  • This is an estimate based on a simplified version of the official Dutch points system. It is not an official Huurcommissie result.
  • For a final legal assessment, always use the official Huurcommissie Huurprijscheck.

What affects the maximum rent?

Under official Dutch rent rules, the maximum rent is determined through a points system, plus a small set of legal rent uplifts. Better quality, more space, stronger energy performance, and certain protected statuses can all increase the allowed rent.

  • Living area
  • Storage and other indoor area
  • Private outdoor space
  • WOZ value
  • Heating and shared parking
  • Energy label
  • Kitchen and private facilities
  • Home type, contract date, and legal pricing adjustments

When is this estimate less precise?

  • If the WOZ value is missing or incorrect
  • If the home has special characteristics that still are not captured here
  • If it is non-self-contained housing
  • If service costs were entered as base rent
  • If monument, cityscape, or newbuild status is uncertain

Frequently asked questions

Is this an official Huurcommissie calculation?

No. This is an estimate based on a simplified view of the official points system. For a final legal assessment, use the official Huurcommissie Huurprijscheck.

What is base rent?

Base rent is the rent excluding service charges, furniture, gas, water, and electricity.

When does a home fall into the social sector?

For 2026, self-contained homes up to and including 143 points fall into the social sector. New contracts from 144 to 186 points fall into the mid-rent segment. From 187 points onward a home is in the free sector.

Why can Funda rents still be much higher?

Because asking rents are not all in the same legal bucket. Some homes score enough points for the free sector, some older contracts remain free sector, and some regulated homes can get legal surcharges for newbuild or monument status.

Can I calculate the maximum rent with only sqm and rent?

No, not exactly. The official rules also look at WOZ value, energy label, storage space, outdoor space, heating, kitchen quality, parking, and some legal surcharges.

Why does this check ask for the WOZ value?

The WOZ value plays a role in the official points system and can affect the maximum rent threshold.

Does this check also apply to rooms?

This first version is mainly intended for self-contained housing. Rooms and other non-self-contained housing use different rules and a separate valuation system.
