July 1 is just around the corner, and with it the start of the rent increase. Fortunately, you have all signed up en masse to refuse the rent increase and to issue a widely supported statement together.

Take a photo and share it with #bevriesdehuur on social media to make extra visible on July 1 that we are demanding a multi-year rent freeze, to make and keep living affordable again!

ACTIONS IN THE COUNTRY
Solidarity groups of We Refuse the Rent Increase have become active in all provinces of the Netherlands this year. In cities such as Ermelo, Amsterdam, Den Bosch, Eindhoven, Leeuwarden, Groningen, Leiden, Oss, Rotterdam, Zaanstad, Hellendoorn, local solidarity groups of residents have been set up who together refuse the rent increase and support each other with the help of this handy step-by-step plan.
RENTAL FREEZING NECESSARY THAN EVER
Recently, the draft national performance agreements for the housing association sector were leaked between, among others, Woonbond, Aedes and Minister Hugo de Jonge. This shows that rents will be raised again in the coming years, despite good promises, and that income-related rent increases will continue. We Refuse the Rent Increase does not agree with this, we want rent regulation and freezing of all rents for 5 years and therefore has the fire letter of the national action coalition Woonopstand for affordability and housing security.
