Removing property from the housing stock

As a homeowner, you can have your property removed from the housing stock. This is called a home withdrawal. To perform such an eviction, you need an eviction permit from:

  • A social housing unit with a rent below €808.06 per month.
  • A mid-rent home with a rent below €1141.96 per month or 189 points according to the Housing Rating System (WWS). 
  • A house for sale with a purchase price up to €405,000.

You can do this, for example, because:

  • You want to use a home as an office.
  • You want to merge 2 homes. 
  • You want to demolish a property.
  • You want to use a property for room rental.
