The primary subsidy for making homes more sustainable in the Netherlands is the ISDE (Investeringssubsidie duurzame energie en energiebesparing). This is a national fund that homeowners can use to get money back after making energy-saving improvements.
It's crucial to understand that tenants cannot apply for this subsidy directly. The ISDE is designed for the property owner (woningeigenaar) or the Owners' Association (VvE). However, it's highly relevant for tenants because it provides a powerful incentive for your landlord to invest in the quality of your home.
The subsidy covers improvements that directly impact your comfort and energy bills, such as:
If your rental property is drafty, has single-pane windows, or is poorly insulated, your energy bills will be higher. You can encourage your landlord to make these improvements by pointing out the financial help they can receive from the ISDE. A well-insulated home not only lowers your monthly energy costs but also significantly increases the property's value and Energy Label (Energielabel), making it a win-win situation.
