Landlord's Maintenance Obligation vs Tenant in Tilburg

In Tilburg, the landlord is responsible for major maintenance such as the roof, foundation and installations, in accordance with art. 7:206 CC. Tenants in neighbourhoods such as Oud-Zuid or the Reeshof are responsible for minor maintenance such as painting and locks. In the points system for rent increases in Tilburg social housing, the property must be in good condition; defects can lead to a reduction in rent. Report defects in writing to your landlord, such as WonenBreevast or Tiwos, the major Tilburg housing associations. They have two months to repair. In case of delay, you can demand rent reduction or carry out repairs yourself with set-off. The minor repair fund obliges tenants to a maximum of €100 per year. The Woonteam Tilburg, a local tenants' initiative, checks for neglect and advises in disputes. In case of serious negligence, the sub-district court in Tilburg may impose a rent reduction. Example: a leak due to a defective roof in an apartment building on Doctor Deelenstraat justified a 20% reduction. Document everything with photos for the Rent Committee or court in Tilburg. Local campaigns by the municipality emphasize quick reporting via the Woonloket.
