The liberalisation threshold marks the division between regulated WWS rent and the free sector: €879.66 in 2024. Properties above this (new builds or luxury) escape rent price control. Landlords must register with the Land Registry before 1 July of the preceding year. Tenants lose WWS protection but retain termination protection. Exception: existing contracts remain regulated until review. Test via points system: >216 points = liberalised. Municipalities can lower thresholds in case of housing shortage. Disputes go to the Rent Tribunal. This system promotes new construction, but criticism on affordability. Tenants: check registration to prevent unexpected increases. (201 words)
