At least a quarter of Dutch private student homes may leave the rental market
The Netherlands is building new student homes, but not enough to make up for rooms leaving the market.
Property adviser CBRE says at least a quarter of private student homes may move to the owner-occupied market over the next eight years.
That means these homes would no longer be available as student rentals.
The loss could outpace new construction, with two rooms disappearing for every new one, according to the headline.
The result is that the shortage of student rooms is expected to remain severe.
The story gives no further details on what changes, if any, local governments may make.
