Error (art. 6:228 BW) and fraud (art. 6:229 BW) render a rental agreement in Tilburg voidable, as opposed to absolute nullity. Error arises when a tenant has an incorrect impression of the property due to misleading information from the landlord, such as hidden defects in a typical Tilburg property from the 1930s around the Spoorzone. Fraud involves intentional deception, for example, regarding the operation of the central heating boiler in an apartment on Heuvelstraat. The aggrieved tenant may have the agreement declared void via the district court in Tilburg, with retroactive effect. Proof is crucial: keep photos from viewings, emails with promises, or witness statements from real estate agents of local associations such as NVM Tilburg. Example: a landlord in the Oud-Zuid neighborhood conceals serious moisture spots due to the nearby Piushaven; the tenant proves that otherwise they would not have signed. Period for voidance: three years after discovery. After voidance, the tenant vacates the property and receives rent repayment. Landlords in Tilburg must provide accurate descriptions according to NVM standards, paying attention to local issues such as insulation in homes with energy label G. Tenants: always record viewings and oral assurances in writing. For social housing via Tiwos or Trivire, additional protection applies under the Housing Act Midden-Brabant. First try negotiation for repairs, such as for common mold problems in Tilburg rental barracks. The district court in the Palace of Justice on Schouwburgstraat handles these cases quickly and cost-effectively. This way, you restore the balance in Tilburg rental law and prevent prolonged conflicts with Woonbond support.
