Deposit for Rental of Recreational Land in Westland

In the rental of recreational land in Westland, such as camping pitches on the coast of Monster or beach houses in 's-Gravenzande, the deposit serves as security for proper maintenance and compliance with house rules. Unlike regular residential properties in the municipality of Westland, these fall under the flexible rules of Book 7, Section 5 of the Dutch Civil Code. The deposit is often around one month's rent and must be refunded within 30 days after the end of the rental period, after deduction of demonstrable damage such as damaged dune fences or unremoved waste on Westland sites. Local industry conditions, inspired by ANWB camping standards and RECRON guidelines for the region, require an interest-free deposit into a blocked third-party account. Tenants in Westland risk forfeiture for violation of recreation rules, for example illegal structures near greenhouse horticulture areas or nuisance due to improper parking of caravans. Landlords are obliged to conduct an end inspection with the tenant present, ideally with reference to Westland environmental regulations for coastal areas. In case of disputes: start with mediation via RECRON or the local dispute committee in Westland, otherwise directly to the subdistrict court in The Hague. Note: check whether temporary recreation rental in Westland falls under the Vacancy Act, especially for seasonal rental around the flower auction. Tips for tenants: take photos of the condition upon arrival and departure, including dune vegetation. Landlords: specify in the contract the permitted grounds for deduction, such as repair of sand paths. This prevents conflicts in Westland's thriving recreation sector. (248 words)
