The rental law sets strict rules for the reasonable notice period in rental agreements in Tilburg. For tenants, it is at least one month after written notice (art. 7:271 BW). Landlords must observe three months in case of voluntary cooperation, or longer in case of forced termination via the Subdistrict Court in Breda, which has jurisdiction for Tilburg. For temporary contracts in the municipality of Tilburg, it ends automatically, but extension requires written consent from the landlord. The period starts on the day after dispatch of the termination letter by registered mail or bailiff's writ of summons. Delays due to public holidays, such as carnival in Tilburg, do not count. In case of default, such as non-payment of rent, the court may impose a shorter period, taking into account local housing shortage. Tenants in Tilburg have priority rights to a new home via the urgent housing list of Housing Foundation Trivire if the landlord wishes to move in themselves. Calculate the exact end date using a rental calendar tool tailored to Tilburg addresses. Errors lead to invalidity of the termination, which in the region often leads to disputes at the Rent Tribunal in Tilburg. Document everything to avoid disputes, especially for older properties in the Spoorzone. These periods protect vulnerable tenants in Tilburg against sudden evictions and give landlords planning time, given the tight rental market. In case of uncertainty: hire a lawyer via the Juridisch Loket Tilburg for review. (218 words)
