Lease Contract Termination in Westland: Grounds and Procedure for Tenants

In Westland, with its glasshouse horticulture and greenhouse complexes, tenants in homes or above-business accommodations may encounter serious defects such as moisture due to high humidity or structural problems. As a tenant, you can have the lease contract terminated if the landlord fails to fulfill obligations. This article discusses the statutory grounds and steps, with attention to local situations in places such as Naaldwijk, Monster and Kwintsheul.

Statutory grounds for termination in Westland

Article 7:231 DCC provides that the court shall terminate the lease contract if performance is impossible, such as in uninhabitable greenhouse homes with mould or leaks due to Westland's climate. Urgent own use (article 7:274 DCC) applies to seasonal workers' homes, but tenants in social housing via WestlandWonen have strong protection rights against quick eviction.

Procedure at the district court in The Hague

Start with a registered letter to the landlord, referring to local inspections by the municipality of Westland. If negotiations fail, engage a bailiff for summons at the district court in The Hague, which has jurisdiction for Westland. The judge rules on termination, notice period and possible compensation for temporary relocation to temporary housing in Poeldijk.

Specific cases in Westland

In cases of rent arrears or illegal subletting in horticultural greenhouses, stricter rules apply. The Rent Tribunal offers interim measures for social housing in Westland, such as rent reduction. Collect evidence: photos of defects, reports from the municipality of Westland and witness statements from neighbours in Honselersdijk. This way, you effectively enforce your rights against negligent landlords. (247 words)
