In Tilburg, by mutual consent for lease termination, there is no fixed statutory notice period, unlike unilateral terminations. Parties can agree on a shorter or longer period for flexibility, as described in Article 7:271 of the Dutch Civil Code (BW). The agreed date can take effect immediately after signing, ideal for tenants moving to a new home in neighbourhoods such as Oud-Zuid or the Spoorzone, or landlords who want a new tenant quickly in the vibrant city centre. Explicitly state the end date in the agreement, including key handover with the housing association such as WonenBreburg and an inspection of the property by a local supervisor. Without a clear date, disputes over rent payments may arise, especially in Tilburg where the Huurcommissie Noord-Brabant handles many cases. Landlords risk damage claims if the property is not vacant on the reference date in the Hasseltrotonde, while tenants retain the right to repayment of the deposit after inspection by Huurteam Tilburg. To avoid disputes, engage a lawyer for a notarial deed or detailed letter, and register with the Huurcommissie for evidence. Local practice examples from Tilburg show that flexible periods enable smooth transitions for housing association properties, but oral agreements often fail before the district court in the Paleis van Justitie at Schouwburgstraat. Add witnesses or have it recorded by Juridisch Loket Tilburg for extra certainty.
