Rent increase in the free sector in the next 3 years; maximum inflation + 1% 
As we already wrote in November 2020 there was an initiative bill to introduce a maximum rent increase by 2021 for the next 3 years. The bill has been approved: the rents of housing in the free sector may increase in 2021 at the maximum with inflation + 1% = 2.4%.  It has never happened before that rent increases in the free sector were restrained by politics!

Who will implement the rent increase?
If Amsterdam Rentals is the financial manager of your home, we also take care of the annual rent increase for the landlord. We will then contact you shortly about this. If you are the financial manager of the property yourself, you are responsible for this yourself.
