Role of Landlord in Nuisance and Termination of Rental Agreement in Zoetermeer

In Zoetermeer, the landlord has a duty of care in cases of nuisance caused by neighbours or third parties in neighbourhoods such as Buytenwegh or Rokkeveense Zoom. Pursuant to article 7:213 DCC, he must take measures to ensure your quiet enjoyment of the dwelling. If he ignores complaints about noise nuisance from flats or parking conflicts, he is in default, which may make termination of the rental agreement possible. First send multiple formal warnings by registered mail. No response? Report it to the Huurcommissie for mediation, specifically via the regional office in The Hague that serves Zoetermeer. If that fails, you can claim termination from the district court in The Hague. The landlord can himself warn nuisance-makers, impose a house ban or terminate the contract (art. 7:268 DCC), for example in response to reports via the local neighbourhood teams of the municipality of Zoetermeer. Prove negligence with unanswered letters and logs from the Zoetermeer app for neighbourhood complaints. You do not need to confront the offender yourself; that is the task of the landlord or housing associations such as Vestia, active in Zoetermeer. In serious incidents such as violence in Seghwaert, involve the Zoetermeer police for criminal law measures. Landlord insurances often cover legal costs. As a tenant in Zoetermeer: avoid escalation, document everything with photos and witnesses. The court weighs the severity, duration and efforts of the landlord, taking into account local congestion around the Stadshart. Successful cases in the region show repeated notices of default.
