Hospita rental via corporations

Housing corporations own a large share of the Dutch housing stock. Many corporation tenants live in spacious homes with empty rooms. Home-sharing offers a unique opportunity to put that space to use.

How does it work?

Residents of corporation housing can, with permission from the corporation, rent out a room to a tenant via Hospi Housing. The resident becomes a host and offers someone a home, while the corporation's property is better utilised.

Benefits for the corporation

• Better use of housing stock: empty rooms are put to productive use
• Contributing to housing targets: more living places without new construction
• Social cohesion: home-sharing encourages contact between residents
• Combating loneliness: especially for older residents living alone
• No additional costs: the resident handles the rental themselves

Benefits for the resident

• Extra income: up to €6,633 per year tax-free through the room rental exemption
• Company: having someone in the house can be lovely, especially if you live alone
• Support: Hospi Housing handles the matching, the contract, and ongoing support

Conditions

Home-sharing in corporation housing comes with a few conditions:

• Permission from the housing corporation is required
• The resident must continue living in the property themselves
• The room must meet basic requirements
• Income and rent price rules apply
