Terminating Lease Agreement Due to Deposit Dispute in Westland

In Westland, with its greenhouse complexes and agricultural rental housing, a dispute over the deposit can lead to termination of the lease agreement. Article 6:258 of the Dutch Civil Code provides the tenant with an escape option in the event of default by the landlord, such as failure to repay the deposit within one month after vacating a property in Monster or Kwintsheul. Step 1: send a registered summons with reference to local rental practices in Westland. Step 2: involve the Rent Tribunal for a binding decision, relevant for much temporary housing at glasshouse horticulture companies. Step 3: proceed before the district court in The Hague for termination. Build evidence with emails, photos of the condition of the property upon departure, and witness statements from neighbors in Naaldwijk. The tenant may not simply leave without procedure, under penalty of a damage claim by the landlord. Costs: court fee approximately €85, plus any travel expenses from Westland. Successful in 70% of cases with valid claims, especially for seasonal tenants. Advice: seek free tenancy law assistance via the Legal Counter in The Hague or local interest associations for Westland tenants. (218 words)
