Urgent grounds for tenants upon termination in Westland

Under the Dutch tenancy law, tenants in Westland may terminate a tenancy agreement on urgent grounds, such as domestic violence, health problems due to the humid Westland greenhouse air or serious nuisance caused by the landlord. According to Book 7 of the Dutch Civil Code article 7:271, no judicial intervention is required for termination by the tenant, provided the one-month notice period is observed. In acute situations, such as uninhabitable rental properties in neighbourhoods like Naaldwijk or Monster due to mould in old greenhouse horticulture barracks or leaks after heavy Westland rainfall, the tenant may leave immediately and provide evidence afterwards. Landlords in the region, often agricultural entrepreneurs, may not simply contest this without counter-evidence. Examples specific to Westland: intimidation by landlords in Poeldijk or health risks due to unresolved moisture problems in rental apartments near the flower auction. Tenants must submit the termination in writing to the landlord with clear motivation, photos of defects and inspection reports from the Municipality of Westland. In disputes, the subdistrict court in The Hague handles these cases, where tenants enjoy strong protection. Document everything thoroughly, such as WhatsApp conversations with local housing inspectors or reports to the Westland tenancy team. This prevents additional charges or claims from horticulture landlords. This statutory balance protects tenants' freedom against landlords' interests in the horticulture area.
