Rent supplement is a benefit granted by the Dutch government to make rental accommodations affordable for all strata of society.
Your eligibility for rent subsidy depends on the amount of your rent, income and capital, which cannot all be too high.
The expected amount of rent allowance can be calculated here and depends on rent, income and capital.
