Landlord's Maintenance Obligation for Temporary Rental in Westland

In Westland, the heart of Dutch greenhouse horticulture with greenhouses in places like Naaldwijk, Monster, and Kwintsheul, the landlord remains responsible for maintenance under temporary lease agreements (Article 7:242 DCC). Even in temporary rental properties near greenhouse horticulture areas, minor repairs (up to €50, such as a broken lamp) fall under the tenant, while major maintenance such as leaks in greenhouse dwellings or defective heating is the landlord's responsibility. Complaint? Send a registered letter to your landlord in Westland, followed by the Rent Tribunal or the district court in The Hague. A temporary contract does not suspend this obligation; defects such as moisture due to Westland rain or a broken central heating system in winter entitle you to rent reduction. Example: a tenant in Poeldijk received a 20% discount due to a leak. In the event of renovation of older rental properties in Westland (often near greenhouse complexes), a temporary contract is possible, but compensation such as moving costs or temporary housing is mandatory. Local practice: tenants in Westland often win compensation via the Rent Tribunal, especially for seasonal rentals in the horticultural sector. Consult the Municipality of Westland for additional local subsidies for energy-saving maintenance. (248 words)
