Amsterdam's Plan: If You Buy a Newly Built House, You Can't Rent It Out
In an effort to make housing more affordable, the Dutch capital is crafting a law that says anyone who buys a newly built home must live in it themselves.
If you want to buy a new house in Amsterdam, you’ll have to actually live in it.
That’s the message from the Dutch capital as it prepares a new proposal to restrict sales of newly built housing to owner-occupiers, blocking out anyone who wants to buy the properties only to rent them out.
