In Westland, landlords can terminate a lease due to tenants' breach of contract, such as chronically late rent or damage to properties in Poeldijk, 's-Gravenzande or Naaldwijk. Article 7:231 DCC requires a notice of default first. Send a reminder with a 14-day payment period, referring to local housing pressure due to greenhouse horticulture seasons. If the tenant does not pay, serve a summons via the District Court in The Hague (for Westland jurisdiction). The judge assesses reasonableness: a one-time delay due to harvest season is rarely sufficient. Proof with bank statements or title research at the Municipality of Westland. In cases of drugs in greenhouses or serious nuisance caused by tenants themselves, faster eviction via art. 7:268 DCC – Haaglanden police assist in dangerous situations around horticultural areas. Procedure at the District Court: court fee €85. Granting leads to eviction by bailiff (costs for tenant). Tenant may defend with proof of payment or appeal to local rent allowance via WerkSaam Westland. Alternative: request rental history from VvE or local real estate agents such as Westland Wonen. Prevention: screen new tenants for ties to regions like Monster or Kwintsheul. Judges mitigate in cases of corona deferral or horticulture COVID support. Landlord risks damage claim for unjustified procedure – consult Juridisch Loket Westland. Use local collection agencies for horticulturists. Upon success, re-rent directly to seasonal workers. Tenants: pay via iDEAL for proof and check Westland housing teams. This way you protect your investment in the horticultural area. (248 words)
