In Venlo, 42,3% of the checked rental supply is above the legal maximum rent. For those homes, a median of €163 per month more is asked than the points system allows. Based on 239 checked homes, pooled mrt–jun 2026.
The share above the legal maximum differs by property type in Venlo.
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.
