Deposit upon early termination of rental in Rijswijk

Upon early termination of the tenancy agreement in Rijswijk, the standard provisions of the Civil Code apply to the deposit. Article 7:271 of the Dutch Civil Code obliges the landlord to repay it within one month after termination, minus any outstanding claims such as damage or arrears in rent. As a tenant in Rijswijk, you must deliver the property in good condition, preferably with an inspection in the presence of the landlord. In neighbourhoods such as Innen or the centre of Rijswijk, it is customary to use a standard delivery report from the Central Government, available via the municipal website. In the event of non-performance, the landlord may justify withholding, but always with evidence such as photos or a report. For tenants in Rijswijk, the Huurteam Den Haag (for the region) offers free mediation for disputes over the deposit. If that fails, you can proceed to the subdistrict court in The Hague. Interest on non-repaid deposit accrues from the reference date after delivery. Note: in Rijswijk, municipal enforcement officers often check compliance with rental rules. Tip: take out a tenant's insurance via local providers such as in the shopping centre In de Muin for extra protection against deposit disputes. (218 words)
