Maintenance Obligation of Housing Corporations in Zoetermeer for Social Rental Housing

In Zoetermeer, housing corporations such as Vidomes and Staedion must keep social rental housing in good condition, appropriate for the green and modern neighbourhoods such as Rokkeveen and Seghwaert. Minor repairs (up to € 250) are the tenant's responsibility, but corporations are responsible for major maintenance such as roofs, pipes, painting and facades. Report defects in writing via your corporation's online reporting system or the Zoetermeer app; the statutory response time is a maximum of 14 days, and in cases of local pressure often faster due to the municipality's efforts. In the event of non-compliance in Zoetermeer, you can enforce rent reduction via the Rent Tribunal, up to 100% in cases of uninhabitability. The Good Landlordship Act obliges corporations to carry out planned maintenance, aligned with the Zoetermeer performance agreements with the municipality. Collect evidence with photos, inspection reports and testimonies from neighbours. This ties in with allocation of suitable housing in Zoetermeer, where defects render a property unsuitable for the social rental market in this growth city.
