'Misconduct is neatly divided among departments in the municipality, but this is rarely the case in rental properties'
- Rotterdam is launching the Rotterdam Good Living programme to tackle housing abuses in five neighbourhoods in a more targeted manner.
- The municipality, housing associations, police and healthcare partners work together to monitor issues such as overcrowding, mold and excessively high rents.
- The checks are carried out on the basis of reports and the municipality's own data analysis.
Exploitation, overdue maintenance, excessive rents and temporary contracts: supervisors encounter it all behind the front door, often in the same home. In Rotterdam, the municipality, housing corporations and police are now working together for the first time to tackle the accumulation of problems.
