Abstract

The Dutch social rental sector is known for its large size and its broad target group. It houses not only lower income groups, but also households with a middle or higher income. However, recent regulations have restricted access to the social rental sector for middle-income households (gross annual income above €34,229). This paper explores the housing market effects of this new policy. It shows that many middle-income households have in fact few alternative housing market options, since affordable homeownership and private rental sector dwellings are in short supply.
