faq:
  - question: "Is the permit check on mantelzorgwoning.info free?"
    answer: "Yes, this check is a completely free service for individuals to make the complex rules regarding informal care homes ('mantelzorgwoningen') transparent."
  - question: "What is the information in the check based on?"
    answer: "The map uses publicly available data from the national 'Omgevingsloket' and current environmental plans from municipalities."
  - question: "Is the result of the check legally binding?"
    answer: "No, the outcome is indicative and based on general data. No rights can be derived from it; we always advise a final check with the municipality."
  - question: "Do I always need a permit for an informal care home?"
    answer: "Often an informal care home is permit-free, provided there is a demonstrable need for informal care and the home complies with the 'Besluit bouwwerken leefomgeving' (Bbl)."
  - question: "What happens when the need for informal care ceases?"
    answer: "As soon as the informal care ends, the residential function expires. The home must then be removed or the kitchen/bathroom must be decommissioned so that it is no longer an independent residence."
