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:

  • A social rental home is a home with a rent below the rental price limit of €900.07 per month according to the liberalization limit as of Jan. 1, 2025. 
  • A mid-rent home is one with a rent below €1184.82 per month or 186 points according to the Housing Rating System (WWS). 

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