Objection Procedure Against Rent Increase in Tilburg

As a tenant in the unregulated sector in Tilburg, you can object to a rent increase that exceeds the points assessment system. Within six weeks after receipt of the proposal, send a motivated objection letter to your landlord. State why the increase is unlawful, such as exceeding the maximum points or lack of maintenance in your dwelling on Korvelboulevard or in the Oud-Zuid neighborhood. If negotiation fails, then involve the Rent Committee, which is also accessible for Tilburg tenants via the regional office in North Brabant. It independently reviews the calculation and can moderate or reverse the increase. Evidence such as photos of defects in your apartment on Doctor Deelenstraat or the tenancy agreement is crucial. Costs: €25 court fee, recoverable upon success. For housing associations such as WonenBreburg in Tilburg, the route is via the district court in the East Brabant District Court, location 's-Hertogenbosch. Deadlines are strict; if they lapse, the increase applies. In 2023, the Rent Committee handled thousands of cases in the North Brabant region, with 60% in favor of tenants, partly due to the high pressure on the Tilburg rental market. Prevent escalation by responding in time and obtaining free legal advice at the Legal Counter in Tilburg on Heuvelstraat or via their regional advice hour.
