**Explaination**

You can spot an apartment that is not kadastrally split by trying to find it on [WOZwaardeloket.nl](http://WOZwaardeloket.nl)

If the apartment/studio does not have its own letter/number, then for tax purposes, it is considered a single unit. This has major consequences for the points calculation as it affects the energy label and the WOZ points.   
In most (if not all) circumstances the WOZ for the apartment cannot be determined and is set to 77650 euro. It is also possible that the Huurcommissie will ignore any energy label that the entire property has as it is does not follow that the energy efficiency of a small portion of the building is the same as that for the entire building: a rooftop portion could leak more heat than a basement portion for example. 

In these circumstances the Commisison will use the build year as an analog for the energy efficiency and often this will be <1976 which means zero or negative points.

Fewer points equals a lower max rent which means a bigger bust. This strategy works very effective in Amsterdam/utrecht where WOZ values can be very high (>66pts).

In the example here (see screenshot, a 30 sqm kadastrally split property could have a value of 240,000 euro but as it is not split, it only get a value of 77650 euro (the bare minimum by Huurcommissie rules). 

This is 17pts extra (77650 euro) versus 52 pts (240,000 euro) or 100 euro versus 310 euro added to the calculated maximum rent price

Utrecht: EU-M, offering this 30sqm for 1595 euro incl bills. EU-M's MO - low basic rent price, high furniture cost. This apartment appears not to be kadastrally split which could drag the max rent price down to <500 euro per month.
