Rights and Obligations After Termination of Tenancy for Urgent Cause in Westland

After a successful termination of tenancy for urgent cause in Westland, rights and obligations shift immediately. The tenant must vacate the property and leave it in its original state, in accordance with Article 7:229 of the Dutch Civil Code (BW). Outstanding rent and damage are recovered via the bailiff. The landlord may not evict themselves; a bailiff is required to prevent domestic violence or nuisance, especially in greenhouse-rich areas such as 's-Gravenzande or Naaldwijk. Tenants are entitled to the return of their deposit minus damage and any garden costs. Upon eviction in Westland, one receives 4 weeks' postponement if it is the main residence. Disputes over final settlement go to the Rent Tribunal (Huurcommissie) or the District Court in The Hague. Landlords must report vacancy to the Municipality of Westland, which strictly controls glasshouse horticulture locations. Important: termination does not annul ongoing contracts, such as service charges or water board levies. In crisis situations, the Municipality of Westland offers emergency accommodation via the Social Team Westland. Case law such as ECLI:NL:HR:2021:789 and local cases at the Rotterdam District Court emphasize proportionality; excessive claims in Poeldijk are rejected. Tenants can apply for special assistance from WerkSaam Westland. Document everything for possible collection via CJIB or bailiff in Monster. This phase requires careful settlement to avoid new disputes with the municipality, also due to Westland's focus on liveable cores.
