Differences with Fixed Rentals in Westland
In Westland, known for its greenhouse complexes and seasonal labour, the same deposit rules apply to temporary rental agreements (max. 2 years, article 7:271 BW) as elsewhere, but with shorter repayment periods after termination. Local landlords in greenhouse horticulture areas such as 's-Gravenzande and Naaldwijk often demand stricter deposit conditions due to high wear and tear in temporary housing for Polish and Bulgarian seasonal workers.
Risks for Tenants in Westland
- Automatic termination without notice, crucial for short-term horticulture seasons.
- Deposit refund within 1 month after delivery, provided no damage to greenhouse dwellings or temporary barracks.
- No extension right, so quick action needed in a market with high turnover due to harvest cycles.
For Landlords in Westland
Document intensively: check-in report upon arrival of seasonal workers, monthly checks for wear and tear due to intensive use. Proof is essential for claims on the deposit for damage to specific Westland rental properties, such as moisture problems in greenhouse buildings. Consult the Huurcommissie Den Haag for local disputes.
Practical Examples from Westland and Region
For renovation rentals in greenhouse horticulture: deposit often higher due to risks of damage from chemical residues or equipment. The District Court of Rotterdam recently ruled in a Westland dispute that temporary tenants are entitled to full repayment upon timely and proper delivery of the property, even in discussions about normal wear and tear in agricultural rentals.
