Eviction after Termination in Tilburg: Steps and Rights

After termination of the tenancy agreement in Tilburg, eviction often follows, a forced procedure via the bailiff. The court sets a reasonable term, usually 14 days to 2 months, within which the tenant must leave voluntarily (Article 7:272 CC). Upon refusal, the landlord sends an eviction order. The bailiff confirms this and schedules execution, during which locks are replaced and belongings removed to a storage facility in the region. Tenants in Tilburg have the right to inspection and appeal against the eviction date at the court in Breda or 's-Hertogenbosch. In cases of hardship clauses, such as illness or unemployment, postponement may be granted via the district court judge. Landlords may not carry out their own eviction (self-help prohibition), under penalty of fines up to €28,000. Local practice examples: in Tilburg-West for status holders, additional protections apply via the municipality and central government, with priority for emergency shelter. Tips for tenants: report immediately to the Municipality of Tilburg's Team Housing for urgent shelter and engage Huurteam Tilburg or Woonbond for free advice. Landlords: document everything and consult the Vastgoed Belang circle Middle Brabant to avoid liability. Eviction costs approximately €1,000-€3,000, so consider mediation via the Juridisch Loket Tilburg. These steps ensure legal and humane handling in Tilburg. (218 words)
