SKAR cancellation scheme - deadline 15 August

The municipality of Rotterdam had already announced a goodwill arrangement for tenants of municipal buildings. Now SKAR can do the same, with the help of the municipality. Tenants who have suffered loss of turnover in the past year, as a result of corona, are eligible for a waiver of part of the basic rent.

Important
It is a regulation of SKAR, but we follow the regulation of the Municipality of Rotterdam. Tenants in buildings owned by the municipality have already had the possibility to apply for leniency, now it applies to tenants in other buildings owned by SKAR.

It is about the period March 2020 to July 2021. That means that you had to be a tenant at that time (so your rental contract was concluded before 1 March 2020).

You can demonstrate that you had at least 30% less turnover than in the previous year. Preferably you compare the months, for example April 2020 with April 2019.

SKAR is the counter. Do not send anything to the municipality, they will not do anything with it.

Please use the application form provided by the municipality (and read the information carefully); you will find it when you have completed the form.

Your application, including details, must be submitted to us by 15 August.

Register
If you meet the requirements, you can apply via the digital form below. After filling in this form, the following steps will appear.

Procedure
Your application will be evaluated by an external agency. They will tell us whether you are eligible for a goodwill payment and, if so, for what percentage.

We will then settle this with you (or deduct it from your debt); how this works will be explained later.
Please note that this only concerns the rent, not the other costs. You will therefore see a different amount than you have on your invoice - this will at least include the advance payments for the service costs.
