Maximum Amount of Security Deposit for Land Lease in Tilburg

In Tilburg, with its vibrant recreational areas such as the Spoorzone and campsites around the Leijde, the maximum amount of a security deposit for the lease of retention land – think caravan pitches at the Lido or storage areas at industrial estates – is not statutorily fixed as it is for residential properties. Practice guidelines in Tilburg indicate one to two months' rent, based on reasonableness and fairness under Article 6:248 of the Dutch Civil Code (BW). Local landlords, often through associations around the Piushaven, do not demand excessive amounts; otherwise, the tenant may refuse or challenge the security deposit before the subdistrict court at the Palace of Justice on Schouwburgstraat. For parking spaces in busy neighbourhoods such as the city centre, the security deposit typically ranges between €100-€500, depending on proximity to the centre or event venues such as 013. Larger plots, such as allotment gardens in the Tuinstadwijk, may go up to €1,000. The lease agreement must explicitly state the amount, including interest calculation (statutory interest if the landlord does not deposit it into a blocked account). Tenants in Tilburg: negotiate firmly, especially for seasonal leases around carnival, and demand proof of deposit. Landlords: avoid disputes by applying market-conform amounts, aligned with local real estate prices, and including clear terms. In case of excess, the subdistrict court in Tilburg may reduce the security deposit. Always check the lease agreement and the municipal branch conditions of the municipality of Tilburg for recreational or parking land. (248 words)
