Landlord's Maintenance Obligation vs Tenant in Westland

In Westland, with its greenhouses and horticultural businesses, the landlord is responsible for major maintenance such as roofs, foundations and installations, based on art. 7:206 BW. Tenants in districts such as Naaldwijk or Monster handle minor maintenance, such as painting and locks. For the point system for rent increases in Westland rental properties, everything must be in top condition; defects in greenhouse neighbourhoods justify rent reduction. Report defects in writing to your landlord, who has two months to repair – crucial due to Westland weather influences such as heavy rain on glasshouse horticulture greenhouses. Otherwise, demand rent reduction or repair yourself with set-off. The minor repair fund limits tenant contribution to €100 per year. In case of neglect, the court in The Hague may impose rent reduction. Example: leakage due to a poorly sealed roof in Poeldijk often results in 20% reduction. Local tenant teams in Westland strictly monitor tenant rights. Document everything with photos for disputes at the district court.
