In Delft, 66,5% of the checked rental supply is above the legal maximum rent. For those homes, a median of €237 per month more is asked than the points system allows. Based on 1.655 checked homes, pooled mrt–jun 2026.
Not every type breaches the limit equally. In Delft, 76,4% of rooms sit above the maximum, against 57,9% of apartments. Small spaces score few WWS points while the asking rent stays high.
Whether your rent is above the maximum depends on your home's points: floor area, energy label, WOZ value and amenities. Our rent check works it out in a minute. If you're above it, you can go to the Huurcommissie.
