Rooms breach the legal maximum most

Not every property type is priced over the limit equally often. In Arnhem, 84,3% of rooms sit above the legal maximum rent, against 2,6% of houses. That pattern is national: across the Netherlands 79% of rooms exceed the legal maximum, because small spaces score few points while the asking rent stays high.
