Termination of Tenancy by Landlord in Tilburg: Grounds and Procedure

In Tilburg, landlords may terminate the tenancy for urgent reasons, such as rent arrears or nuisance (art. 7:271 BW). First, a notice letter with a minimum notice period of three months must be sent. Tenants in Tilburg have a right of consent, but in case of refusal, a procedure follows at the district court in the Oost-Brabant District Court, Breda location. Important grounds include own use, renovation, or non-payment. If approved, the tenancy ends; if refused, the landlord must litigate. The tenant may respond within two months after notice. The judge assesses reasonableness through a balancing of interests between the parties. In case of success, an eviction procedure follows. For own use, the landlord must offer alternative housing in Tilburg, often via WoninginBrabant or local housing associations such as WonenBreburg. Practical example in Tilburg: in a renovation in the Het Zand neighbourhood, the landlord lost because there was no environmental permit from the municipality of Tilburg. Use model letters from the Huurcommissie or the Juridisch Loket Tilburg. Tenants with low income in Tilburg often receive longer periods through the intervention of the municipality's rent team. In the busy Tilburg housing market, this process protects against arbitrariness and provides tenants in neighbourhoods such as Oud-Zuid or the Spoorzone with strong defence. Always consult a tenancy law specialist at the Juridisch Loket Tilburg or a local lawyer for personal advice.
