I’d like to make changes to my home myself. Is this permitted?

If you want to drill holes in the wall to hang up curtains or replace the toilet seat, you don’t need to ask permission to make minor changes to the property.

However if you want to make major changes, you require written permission to do so. This includes installing a new kitchen or bathroom, installing new inner walls or doors, or laying a laminate floor.

I cannot pay my rent (any more). What am I supposed to do?

Do you foresee problems paying your rent? If so, please inform us of this as quickly as possible. You can reach us via our client portal ‘Mijn Vesteda’ or by email at collections@vesteda.com. We can then take a look at your options together:

  • In the case of temporary payment problems, we can often reach a payment arrangement.
  • In case of more structural payment problems, we can help you to find a home that is better suited to your current financial situation.
  • If a conversation does not lead to a solution and your payment arrears are more than 30 days, we must report your payment arrears to your municipality from 1 January 2021. The municipality will then invite you for a discussion about debt counseling.

Debt counseling
From 1 January 2021, the "Wijziging van de Wet gemeentelijke schuldhulpverlening" will come into effect. This amendment is intended to prevent a starting debt or rent arrears from growing into a problematic debt. In concrete terms, this amendment means that we - in case of rent arrears of more than 30 days - must transfer your contact details and the amount of the rent arrears to the municipality. The municipality will invite you for an interview. This will temporarily stop our collection procedure. Of course your data will not be transferred just like that. The following steps were taken beforehand:

  • personal contact has been sought with you about the options for ending and preventing payment arrears;
  • you have been made aware of the possibilities for debt counseling;
  • you have received at least one written reminder;
  • you have offered to submit your contact details and rent arrears to your municipality and you have not responded against this.

If you object to informing the municipality, the early identification process will stop and the normal collection procedure will continue.

How does Vesteda calculate this income requirement?

With every rental property on our site, you can see under the heading "Can I rent this property?" what your minimum gross income must be to rent the property. These are our income requirements.

To determine the income requirement per home, we use the table below:

Monthly rentNumber of tenantsGross monthly income
€700 - €1,00014 x the monthly rent
€700 - €1,00024.5 x the monthly rent
more than €1,00013.5 x the montly rent
more than €1,00024 x the monthly rent


Please find below a calculation example:

Suppose you want to rent a property with a monthly rent of € 746.

 

  • Do you want to rent the property on your own? Then you must earn at least € 746 x 4 = € 2,984 gross per month.
  • Do you have a partner? Then you must jointly earn at least € 746 x 4.5 = € 3,357 gross per month to qualify for this property.
