Rights and Obligations After Termination of Tenancy for Urgent Cause in Delft

After a successful termination of tenancy for urgent cause in Delft, rights and obligations shift immediately. The tenant must vacate the property and leave it in its original state, in accordance with Article 7:229 of the Dutch Civil Code (BW). Outstanding rent and damage will be recovered via the bailiff. Landlords in Delft may not evict themselves; a bailiff is mandatory to prevent domestic violence or nuisance, such as is common in student areas like the Innenstad or TU campus. Tenants are entitled to repayment of the security deposit minus damage and outstanding payments. In case of eviction from the main residence, a postponement of 4 weeks applies. Disputes regarding the final settlement can be submitted to the Huurcommissie or the District Court of The Hague (for Delft). Landlords must report vacancy to the Municipality of Delft via the Woonloket. Important: termination of tenancy does not cancel ongoing contracts, such as service charges or parking permits in Delft neighbourhoods. In crisis situations, the Municipality of Delft provides emergency accommodation via the Social Team or in collaboration with the Salvation Army. Case law such as ECLI:NL:HR:2021:789 and local cases at the Delft cantonal court emphasise proportionality; excessive claims, for example against young tenants near the Technical University, are rejected. Tenants can apply for special assistance from the Municipality of Delft. Document everything carefully for collection via bailiff firms in the region. This phase requires meticulous settlement to avoid new disputes at the Delft Huurcommissie, especially given the strict local enforcement on vacancy.
