SSH contract
Housing
Hi all! Hope most of you managed the chaos of this morning. I have a question regarding the rental contract which has a
higher price than stipulated on the website.
I got a booking option for Albertine agnesplein, and on the website it is shown to be a monthly payment of €764.87, while
in the contract it is shown to cost €867.28 per month which is insane and makes me ineligible to apply for Huurtoeslag. Is
there anything I can do about this? Thanks in advance :)

Hi! I've been living in Groningen since last August for my Master's. I did not book my studio with SSH, so I can't help
you with the disparity between the displayed and actual rent cost, sorry :(
However, it is possible that you are still eligible for Huurtoeslag even with the increased rent. I just checked, and the
rent limit for 2023 is €808.06, but this is applied over the base rent, excluding services like internet or energy
expenses.
To give you an example, I currently pay €837.50 in total rent, but the base rent is around €630. Because of that, I
applied and got Huurtoeslag for €358, which really helps considering the insane housing market in the city. Check
your contract to see if it breaks down the rent, most of them do. If you have any questions let me know, good luck!

This is good info. I’m going to add that OP should check this out to see exactly which costs are excluded from the
“base rent”. https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/nl/huurtoeslag/content/welke-huur-telt-mee-voor-

Thanks for the info! I called up ssh that day since the window was so tight. They removed the listing and will be
updating it to reflect the actual price of the room.
Turns out it has a shared bathroom so I will not be eligible for Huurtoeslag. Although, seeing as the market is so
tough I might just bite the bullet and take the higher rent for a year.
