Tenants' Rights Regarding Transfer Costs for New Rental Property in Westland

When moving to a new rental property in Westland, such as in greenhouse complexes or growers' villages like 's-Gravenzande or Naaldwijk, transfer costs often arise, such as key money or cleaning costs. The Rent Act (CC 7:231) limits these to reasonable, verifiable expenses. Maximum key money: €100, cleaning €250 for heavily soiled property – extra relevant in agricultural rental properties with high wear and tear. Exercising rights: Request a detailed cost overview before transfer. If the landlord refuses? Contact the Westland Rent Team for free mediation. In case of escalation: File a complaint with the Rent Tribunal for binding advice, accessible to Westland tenants. Practical example: In Westland, a tenant challenged €450 in transfer costs for a property near the glasshouse horticulture; the Rent Tribunal reduced this to €180. Important rule: Costs must be market-conform and may not generate profit for the landlord, especially not with local growers' landlords. Avoid pitfalls with a Westland checklist: check keys, meter readings (including water for greenhouses), and make an inspection report with focus on moisture and soil quality. This way you start stress-free in your new rental property in Westland.
