Lieven de Key uses the following breakdown
Self-contained homes
Tenants of self-contained homes with a lower rent receive a higher percentage increase than tenants with a higher rent. For tenants receiving housing allowance, a large part of the increase is compensated.
Rooms and shared homes
Tenants of non-self-contained homes who qualify for housing allowance receive a higher increase. This is largely compensated by a higher housing allowance.
Income-related rent increase
If you have an upper-middle or high income, you will receive an income-related rent increase. This rent increase depends on the number of people in your household and your combined annual income for 2024. The Tax and Customs Administration determines your income category. Because the final income figures for 2025 are not yet known, the Tax and Customs Administration uses your income from 2024.

As a resident, you may be eligible for different types of support. We are happy to look at the options with you. You can find all measures on this page for all options.
Maximum rent for your home
Each rental home gets points based on its quality. This depends on features of your home, such as its size, property value (WOZ value), and energy label. The more points your home has, the higher the maximum rent may be. These points are calculated using the government’s housing valuation system.
Lieven de Key makes sure your rent does not go above the maximum allowed rent. Do you live in a listed building or a new-build home? Then your maximum rent may be higher than usual. This is because of an extra charge.
