Table explanation


This table includes figures on the average increase of rent broken down by income class. A distinction is made here between rental of regulated dwellings by social and other landlords, mid-tier rental and liberalised rental.

Data available from: 2015.

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are definitive.

Changes as of 5 September 2025:
The 'Mid-tier rental' category has been added to the dimension Type of rental.
The figures of 2025 have been published.

Changes as of 20 May 2025:
The figures broken down by income class have been removed from this table for the categories of liberalised rents and total. These figures are not applicable and were previously published in error. Landlords can only request income data for regulated rents, which form the basis for this table.

Changes as of 8 September 2023:
The category 'Middle income' has been added to the dimension Income classes.

When will new figures be published?
New figures of 2026 will become available in September 2026.

Description topics

Rent increase including harmonisation
The average rent increase for dwellings including rent harmonisation.

When a dwelling changes tenancy, the rent increase may exceed the maximum increase valid for that year. This is called rent harmonisation. This increase has no connection with the annual rent increase per 1 July and can be applied at any moment in time. However, the rent after harmonisation may not exceed the maximum rent based on the Ministry of Interior and Kingdom Relations' Rent Point System.
Rent increase excluding harmonisation
The average rent increase for dwellings excluding rent harmonisation.

When a dwelling changes tenancy, the rent increase may exceed the maximum increase valid for that year. This is called rent harmonisation. This increase has no connection with the annual rent increase per 1 July and can be applied at any moment in time. However, the rent after harmonisation may not exceed the maximum rent based on the Ministry of Interior and Kingdom Relations' Rent Point System.
