The data shows the average percentage change on previous year of rent increase including and excluding rent harmonization in the Netherlands in 2016, by type of rental. Rent harmonization means rent increase may exceed the maximum increased valid for that year when a dwelling changes tenancy. This new increase can be applied at any moment in time and is not connected to the annual rent increase on July 1st in the Netherlands. The rent after harmonization however, may not exceed the maximum rent based on the Ministry of Interior and Kingdom Relations' Rent Point System.
