Nuisance from Neighbours and Tenancy Law in Tilburg

In Tilburg, serious nuisance caused by neighbours in rental properties may lead to a request for termination via the landlord or the court (Article 7:220 of the Dutch Civil Code). Tenants should first report this to the landlord, preferably with an incident logbook, audio recordings, and witness statements. Contact Woonbedrijf or Trivire, the major housing corporations in Tilburg, which often mediate through their neighbourhood managers in districts such as Oud-Zuid or Het Zand. If no action is taken: involve the Rent Tribunal or initiate summary proceedings at the District Court of Oost-Brabant in Den Bosch. This qualifies as an urgent reason for termination by the tenant. In Tilburg’s owners' associations (VvE’s) in apartment buildings around the Spoorzone, stricter house rules often apply regarding noise nuisance, reinforced by the General Municipal Bylaw of the Municipality of Tilburg (Article 2.15). Local reporting centres such as Buurtcomités Tilburg or neighbourhood teams provide advice and prevention, particularly in student areas like De Krul.
