The mediator plays a central role in rental disputes in Westland, but remains neutral and facilitative pursuant to the Mediation Regulation. He may not give advice, only guide the parties towards an agreement. In rental problems such as arrears in maintenance of greenhouses or rent increases for agricultural properties in places like Naaldwijk, Monster or Kwintsheul, the mediator structures conversations and ensures confidentiality pursuant to Article 7:901 of the Dutch Civil Code. Qualification requires registration in the Mediators Register. Parties pay equally shared, unless otherwise agreed. Advantages: cost savings and speed compared to court proceedings before the district court in The Hague. Disadvantage: no guarantee of agreement. In the Westland rental sector, with many greenhouse horticulture companies, 75% of mediations are successfully resolved, according to recent data from the Chamber of Commerce Haaglanden. Tip: choose an MfN-registered mediator specialized in tenancy law and agricultural real estate, such as those affiliated with local networks in Westland. As a landlord, you prevent vacancy in greenhouse complexes, as a tenant forced relocation from business premises. Confidentiality protects sensitive information, such as income data or cultivation plans. In case of failure, parties can still litigate without prejudice, retaining all rights.
