Tenants' Rights in Case of Compulsory Lease Termination in Westland

In Westland, with its greenhouse complexes and agricultural rental housing in places such as Naaldwijk, 's-Gravenzande and Monster, tenants have robust protection in cases of compulsory lease termination, such as the bankruptcy of a lessor or expropriation for greenhouse horticulture expansion. The lease agreement automatically transfers to the new lessor (Article 7:219 DCC). In the event of eviction due to non-performance, the lessor must first issue a warning and await a judicial decision from the District Court of Rotterdam, The Hague branch. Tenants in Westland do not end up on the street just like that; a garnishment-free amount applies and local urgency teams provide temporary housing via the municipality. In the case of urgent termination by the lessor, the tenant may annul the termination if the reason is not urgent, for example in seasonal work in the horticulture sector. Rights include the right to be heard and right of reply before the Rent Tribunal in The Hague and appeal to the district court. During crisis situations, such as corona deferral or water damage in Westland, additional protection applies with deferral of payments. Document everything: correspondence with lessors from Poeldijk, proof of payments and reports to the municipality. Seek free legal assistance via the Legal Counter in The Hague or local advisors at Woonlinie Westland. Unlike mutual agreement, these formal safeguards protect against unlawful conduct by horticultural companies as lessors. Tenants can claim damages in the event of unjustified termination, with priority for housing security in this region with high house prices and limited supply. (248 words)
