Service Costs in VvE Complexes in Westland

In apartment complexes in Westland, such as in Poeldijk or 's-Gravenzande, with a Homeowners' Association (VvE), service costs are often handled via the VvE. Landlords in this glasshouse horticulture municipality collect these costs and pay them to the VvE. Tenants have the right to insight into VvE decisions and annual accounts, particularly relevant for local maintenance of greenhouses or complexes near the A4. The deed of division determines which costs are for the account of tenants, such as reservations for maintenance funds or repairs for Westland storm damage. Landlords may not charge additional costs on top of VvE contributions. Disputes are handled primarily via the VvE meeting, then the Rent Tribunal or district court in The Hague. Important: check whether the landlord, as a VvE member, votes in the interest of tenants, given the pressure on the Westland housing market. Recently amended VvE law requires active VvEs with reserve funds, fitting for the local agricultural complexes. Tenants can demand inspection of the VvE administration via the landlord. In case of mismanagement, such as neglect of facilities in Naaldwijk, the court may appoint an administrator. As a tenant in Westland: read the lease agreement for VvE clauses, compare settlements with VvE minutes, and watch for seasonal costs due to greenhouse construction. This prevents double payments or neglect. Service costs in Westland VvEs require extra vigilance due to joint responsibility and regional challenges. (218 words)
