Upon mutual agreement to terminate a lease in Westland, the glasshouse horticulture municipality in South Holland, financial matters play a crucial role, especially with the specific requirements for greenhouses and gardens. The lessor must repay the deposit within a reasonable term, usually after inspection of the dwelling or commercial property and offset of outstanding amounts such as gas and water bills for glasshouse horticulture. Article 7:266 BW obliges restitution minus damage, overdue rent or non-offsettable service costs. Parties in Westland may agree that tenants take over remaining VVE contributions for apartments in cores such as Naaldwijk or Monster, or settle utility provisions for greenhouses via local suppliers. A property inspection by a Westland expert prevents disputes over repair costs to greenhouses or soil disinfection. Tenants with a VVE contribution in new-build properties at Verdiplein must arrange this timely with the local VVE manager. Important: record offsets in writing to avoid subsequent claims before the district court in The Hague. Lessors may not make unreasonable deductions for standard wear and tear in agricultural properties; otherwise, proceedings are threatened. Practical advice for Westland: prepare a detailed final settlement with receipts from local real estate agents such as in Honselersdijk. In case of early termination, a tenant may claim compensation for real estate agent costs from firms such as Makelaardij Westland. Lessors sometimes benefit from penalty clauses for non-compliance with cultivation contracts. Consult the Huurcommissie or local advisors in Poeldijk for disputes. Examples from regional case law show that clear financial clauses with garden inspections halve disputes. Always include a dissolving condition for unforeseen costs such as crop losses.
