Temporary rental contracts in Westland (max. 2 years) end automatically without notice. No termination protection; landlord does not need to demonstrate grounds. In this glasshouse horticulture municipality, with many seasonal workers from greenhouses in Monster and Naaldwijk, written documentation is crucial: explicitly state 'clearly temporary', otherwise it becomes indefinite. Upon expiry: vacate without court. Exception: pregnant tenants or children <2 years – automatic conversion to fixed-term contract. Procedure: reminder 1 month before end date, especially relevant for temporary housing with growers in Honselersdijk. Example: expat contract for 1 year with a Westland horticulture company – departure mandatory upon expiry. Rent increase limited during term, in line with local collective labour agreements for flex workers. In case of early termination: damage claim possible against the tenant. These contracts ideal for the starter market in growing neighbourhoods like 's-Gravenzande, but abuse prevented via review by the Rent Tribunal, which tests validity at local level. Specifically in Westland: note rules for room rental to Polish pickers – registration with municipality mandatory. (218 words)
