The real estate law, which is partly labelled as unconstitutional, still has a couple of articles that have a big impact on homeowners who rent out their flats while renting elsewhere.

They have to pay property tax because they do not live in the flat (but they also pay tax on the rental of the property).

In practice, it happens that someone buys a flat in one city, cannot sell it there and rents it out in another city.

For example, he receives €300 a month for renting it, but rents it in another city for €400. Already here he is €100 in the red (which is due to the different prices).

But, in addition to the tax on renting out the property, the landlord also pays property tax.

Which is quite unfair, because he is not actually making a profit on the property (which he would if he had 2 or more flats) but sometimes a loss.

Let the law that gives rise to this taxation be changed so that this property tax is levied when someone owns two or more flats and rents out at least one of them.

However, if he owns one flat, it should be taken into account that he has to live somewhere and that he rents somewhere else.

The law should also be enforced nationwide or nowhere. At present, it is only implemented in certain municipalities.
