Split permit

A division is the splitting of a residential complex into individual apartment rights. To carry out such a division, you always need a Division Permit as one of the residential units:

  • Social housing is a home with a rent below the rent threshold of €932.93 per month according to the liberalization threshold as of January 1, 2026.
  • A mid-range rental property has a rent of less than €1,228.07 per month or 186 points according to the Housing Valuation System (WWS). 

You may apply for a Subdivision Permit only for a residence and not for an office, for example.
