Abstract
The Netherlands is experiencing increasing pressure on the housing market. Increased demand for housing is seen due to for example elderly living at home longer, an increase in single-person households and immigration. Moreover, on the supply side, there is lack of space, long construction times and insufficient personnel at both municipalities and construction companies. This makes it impossible to build enough housing in the short term. Therefore, it is essential to use the existing housing stock intensively, one possibility for this is room rental. Room rental refers to renting out a room in a house where the lessor will also have his main residence. The importance, however, is that housing satisfaction is not compromised. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the relationship between room rental and the housing satisfaction of the lessor. It also examines for which households renting out a room is most appropriate. Quantitative research is performed based on the mediator effect. The Ordered and Binary Logistic Regression results indicate that room rental has a positive effect on the housing satisfaction of the lessor and that it is, most appropriate for households that are somewhat older, highly educated, owning a house, and having a large house. This allows the government to encourage and incorporate room rental into policy, for example, by providing greater accessibility through facilitating opportunities for tenants to rent out a room. The interpretation of the question whether people rent out rooms in the WoON2018 dataset is up for debate (§3.2).
