Free sector rental home rents fall nearly 10%

Friday 09 July 2010

Housing rents for homes outside the rent controlled sector fell 4.3% over the past six months, bringing the annual decline to 9.7%, according to research by rental housing agency Pararius.

Prices are currently below the 2007 level, the research shows. Housing costing over €600 a month to rent is considered to be in the free sector, giving landlords more leeway what to charge.

Amsterdam remains the most expensive city to rent a home in, but even here rents have fallen by 7.1%, Pararius said. In The Hague, rents are down by 10.7%.

The fall of nearly 10% (-9,71) occured in 2009. The rental prices are not decreasing any more and stable now.

I don't know where these people are getting their infomation from but my rent increases every year!!!
Perhaps they could tell me so I can find a cheaper appartment as I had to sign a new contract since the beginning of the current "crisis". Accept a wage cut or leave!!!
