Role of the Bailiff in Eviction in Delft

In Delft, the bailiff carries out the forced eviction after an eviction order from the Rechtbank Den Haag (location Delft). He serves you with a writ containing a new deadline, usually 14 days, to voluntarily leave your home in neighbourhoods such as the city centre, Poptahof or Tanthof. If this is ignored, eviction follows with police support. The landlord bears the costs, but can recover them from you (art. 7:282 BW). The writ specifies the exact date and time. If you do not leave, you lose access to the home and its contents. Tip: arrange temporary storage of your belongings with your landlord, for example via local companies in the Delft region. Bailiffs replace locks but do not use force. For vulnerable tenants in Delft, such as families with children or the ill, postponement until 1 October may apply, in line with the national winter scheme. Check the order for errors, such as incorrect address details in Delft postcodes (2611-2629); this may lead to suspension. Tenants have the right to inspect the file at the court registry in Delft. Practical example: in student housing around TU Delft, seasonal postponement is often granted. Do you live in rental accommodation managed by housing associations such as Woonbron or Vestia?
