Right to social or liberalized rental housing from a housing association

Questioner

We recently received a message that our social housing from MaasDelta is on the list to be demolished. By the time the demolition actually takes place, our joint income will be above the income limit. Now I read many different stories about rights and obligations. For example https://www.woonbond.nl/vraagbaak/heb-ik-na-sloop-nog-recht-sociale-huurwoning First of all, I would like to ask our most important question. 1) Is the housing corporation allowed to evict us after a certain period of time without even offering us an alternative rental home (social or liberalised)? We are afraid that we will not be entitled to social housing immediately, which means that we will have to find an alternative home ourselves. That is fine in itself, but anyone who keeps an eye on the housing market will realise that it is not easy to do within a limited period of time. In such a case, are they allowed to force us to leave our home or does the housing corporation have to at least offer a suitable rental home alternative from their liberalised homes? Now for our remaining questions: 2) I continue reading on the internet about a social plan and that it can be included that even people above the income limit will continue to have the right to social housing. When will such a social plan be drawn up and where can I view it if it is already there. Could I possibly still exert influence on its content via an interest group? 3) The above right apparently has to do with whether or not to obtain the so-called urban renewal urgency. Are all people below the income threshold always entitled to this? What about people above the income threshold? When are they entitled to it?

Lawyer

If you do not agree with a termination, you cannot simply be evicted. If you do not agree with a written termination, the corporation can request the court to terminate the lease. Depending on the case, you are also entitled to compensation for moving and furnishing costs and/or the landlord must contribute to the costs of the move. It must also be demonstrated that the tenant can obtain other suitable housing. Corporations may allocate social housing to families with a higher income. It is not an enforceable right (because everything depends on the circumstances of the case). They will often come up with a (good) offer because otherwise they run the risk of a procedure. This is all separate from a possible social plan. I dare not tell you whether that is the case. You could ask the corporation whether there will be a social plan. You can contact me without any obligation if you wish.
