In Delft, serious nuisance from neighbors in rental properties can lead to a termination request via the landlord or the court (art. 7:220 BW). Tenants in the vibrant student neighborhoods such as around TU Delft or the historic center first report nuisance to the landlord, supported by a logbook of noise nuisance, parties or other disturbances, plus evidence such as audio recordings or witness statements. Contact Delft landlords such as DUWO, which manages many student houses. If no action is taken, you can involve the Huurcommissie or start summary proceedings at the Rechtbank Den Haag, Delft branch. This qualifies as an urgent reason for termination by the tenant. In Delft VvE's in monumental buildings along the canals, strict house rules against nuisance often apply, reinforced by the municipality of Delft's APV which enforces noise standards between 23:00 and 07:00. Local reporting points such as the municipality's Team Overlast (014-6789000) assist with escalation. This way, you effectively resolve neighbor noise in this compact city.
