From the outside, this apartment on the Erasmusweg in The Hague does not look very special. It is located on the second floor, has two bedrooms and a balcony. Nevertheless, more than a thousand people have registered to view the house. This is therefore a house by lottery: regardless of how long you have been registered as a (social) home seeker: everyone has a chance.

Unless you manage to score a social rental home, but for that you have to register, there are (income) requirements and there are considerable waiting lists. And if a home is available, there are many applicants.
