Differences with Fixed Rentals in Rijswijk
In Rijswijk, where the rental market is under pressure due to proximity to The Hague, the same deposit rules apply to temporary contracts (max. 2 years, Article 7:271 DCC) as elsewhere. However, local tenants experience shorter deadlines for repayment upon termination, especially with housing associations such as Vidomes.
Risks for Tenants in Rijswijk
- Automatic termination without notice, typical in Rijswijk neighbourhoods such as Innen.
- Deposit refund within 1 month after delivery, provided no damage and approved final inspection.
- No extension right; quick action required due to tight market around Delft and The Hague.
For Landlords in Rijswijk
Document intensively: detailed check-in report, monthly checks and photos. Evidence is crucial for claims on the deposit for wear and tear, in accordance with local Rent Tribunal guidelines in the Haaglanden region.
Practical Examples from Rijswijk
For renovation rentals in neighbourhoods such as Patrimonium, the deposit is often higher due to increased risks of damage. The District Court of The Hague, competent for Rijswijk, recently ruled that temporary tenants are entitled to full repayment upon timely and proper delivery, even in disputes over normal wear and tear.
