In Tilburg, the Huurcommissie handles service costs disputes lightning-fast and completely free of charge, ideal for tenants in neighbourhoods such as Oud-Zuid, Het Zand or the Reeshof. Submit a request within two months after receipt of the settlement via the Huurcommissie website. Always attach your tenancy agreement, the service costs settlement and any objection letters. The commission strictly checks for reasonableness, detailed specification and statutory limits, taking into account Tilburg real estate practices. A binding decision follows within three months, often with repayment or adjustment of the invoice. Landlords in Tilburg must submit all invoices; in the event of missing evidence, the commission rejects the claim. Success rates for tenants are around 65% in the region, especially in cases of insufficient substantiation of costs such as in multi-building complexes around the Spoorzone. Alternative: the district court in the Palace of Justice at Schouweberg, but expect court fees of €85+. Advantages of the Huurcommissie: no lawyer required, informal hearing by post or video. Case from Tilburg: excessive cleaning costs in an apartment complex on Korvellaan were reduced by 45% after review. For VvE matters in Tilburg high-rises, the Sector Chamber often applies.

For urgent problems in rental properties around the Piushaven: apply for an interim measure. After the decision: enforcement via bailiff in Tilburg.
