Landlord's Maintenance Obligation for Temporary Rental in Ti

In Tilburg, the landlord remains responsible for maintenance under temporary rental agreements (Article 7:242 CC). Minor repairs, such as a broken light or loose faucet, are for the tenant (up to €50). Major maintenance, such as a roof leak or defective central heating boiler, falls under the landlord. Complaint? Send a registered letter and, if necessary, involve the Rent Tribunal or the district court in Tilburg. A temporary contract does not suspend this obligation; defects such as leakage in an apartment on Korvelboulevard or broken heating in the Het Zand neighborhood entitle you to rent reduction. In Tilburg, with many student and flexible housing options around the University and station, temporary rentals are common during renovations in old neighborhoods like the city center. Compensation is then mandatory, including temporary accommodation or reimbursement. Local practice: tenants in Tilburg regularly win compensation via the Rent Tribunal, especially for moisture problems due to the Tilburg clay soil. Also report to the municipality for inspection. Examples from the region: leakage after heavy rain or defective elevator in high-rise buildings. Stay alert to your rights! (248 words)
