Role of the Bailiff in Eviction in Westland

In Westland, with residential areas such as Naaldwijk, Monster, Poeldijk and Kwintsheul, the bailiff carries out the forced eviction after an eviction order by the District Court of The Hague. He sets a new deadline, usually 14 days, within which you must voluntarily leave your home in Westland. If this is ignored, eviction follows with the help of the police. The landlord pays the costs, but can recover them from you (art. 7:282 CC). You receive a writ with the precise date and time for the procedure. If you are late, you lose access to the home and contents. Tip: negotiate with your landlord about temporary storage of your belongings, for example at local self-storage in the region. Bailiffs may not use violence, but may replace locks. For vulnerable tenants in Westland, such as families with young children or the sick in the greenhouse horticulture community, eviction can be postponed until 1 October via the winter scheme. Carefully check the order for errors; inaccuracies lead to suspension. As a tenant in Westland, you have the right to inspect the file at the court registry in The Hague. Practical example: seasonal workers in the greenhouses of Honselersdijk often benefit from postponement. Do you live in Westland?
