Netherlands 🇳🇱: The “new Housing Law” bill if passed, will give municipalities the power to force someone who sells their home to sell to people with low or medium income.

The idea behind this measure is to ensure that people with lower incomes can find a home.

Coalition parties VVD and D66 criticize the amendment, saying it infringes on property rights. “If you sell your house – which you have worked hard for – and a councilor can decide who you can sell it to,” said D66 MP Faissal Boulakjar
