Reporting Housing Fraud in Amsterdam: Integrity at Housing Associations

Housing fraud such as illegal subletting or false urgent housing declarations harms fair tenants in Amsterdam, where housing shortages are high. Amsterdam housing associations such as Ymere, De Key and Rochdale have special reporting points; anonymity is guaranteed via the Housing Authority and local hotlines.

  • Report online via amsterdam.nl/woonfraude or anonymously via the national hotline (0800-8880).
  • Investigation by the Inspectorate SZW in collaboration with the Amsterdam Housing Service.
  • Sanctions: fines up to €90,000, forced eviction and placement on the blacklist for social housing.
