In Tilburg, the bailiff, often affiliated with the Judicial District Service 's-Hertogenbosch for the Midden-Brabant District Court, carries out the forced eviction after an eviction order. He sets a new deadline, usually 14 days, within which you must voluntarily leave your home in neighbourhoods such as Oud-Zuid or Het Zand. If that is ignored, house eviction follows with the assistance of the Tilburg police. The landlord pays the costs, but may recover them from you (art. 7:282 CC). You receive a writ with the precise date and time, aligned with local procedures. If you do not leave on time, you lose access to the home and contents. Tip: arrange storage for your belongings with the landlord, for example at Tilburg self-storage companies. Bailiffs replace locks but do not use force. For vulnerable tenants in Tilburg, such as families with children or the sick in the Reeshof, eviction can be postponed until 1 October via the winter scheme. Check the order for errors; inaccuracies lead to suspension by the district court judge at the Palace of Justice on Schipperstraat. Tenants have the right to inspect the file at the court. In the practice of Tilburg rental disputes, such as with housing associations like WonenBreburg, you benefit from seasonal postponement. Consult the Juridisch Loket Tilburg at Korvelplein for free assistance. This procedure ensures a fair process and protects tenants and landlords in the municipality.
