Settlement Agreement Following Rental Mediation in Westland

A settlement agreement following rental mediation is the legal closure of a successful mediation in Westland, the horticultural municipality in South Holland. This document records binding arrangements, specifically tailored to local rental disputes such as overdue rent with greenhouse lessors, maintenance of greenhouses or disputes over cultivation facilities in places such as Naaldwijk, 's-Gravenzande and Monster. Unlike the mediation agreement, it is directly enforceable at the district court in The Hague and definitively ends the conflict. Statutory basis: art. 7:900 CC, with the option for a notarial deed with a Westland notary for additional security. Key elements: strict deadlines, penalty clauses in case of non-performance and rescission conditions. Example: a grower-tenant pays €750 directly to the lessor and the remainder in monthly instalments, while the lessor repairs the glazing or heating within 14 days. It remains confidential and prevents claims regarding typical Westland issues such as cleaning deposit after harvest season or renovation of foil greenhouses. In case of non-compliance, the counterparty can demand immediate enforcement from the court, without a new procedure. In Westland rental law, it is popular in conflicts surrounding seasonal worker housing or horticultural contracts. Tip: consult a lawyer specialised in agricultural tenancy law, such as via the WestlandWonen Loket. Advantages: custom solutions without lengthy procedures. According to the Council for the Judiciary, 75% of rental mediations in Westland end with such an agreement, bringing peace to local rental relationships between growers and lessors.
