Leaseholding Law

The comfort of home and the right to wellbeing in your house are important. Your rights in this question should be well protected.

In many of the conditions in housing rental agreements, and at times of commercial places of business, the tenant and the landlord are to observe the statutory legal principles. This avoids having a contract or general conditions bearing irregularities negative for the tenant. The Law provides the tenant, above all where housing is concerned, with a very strong position against the landlord and the tenant enjoys wide protection concerning the (price of) rent. One exception is the rural lease, although the rural rental contract is completely adapted to the definition of the lease agreement. Because the Law provides for a separate precaution for this type of rentals, they are not included in the lease agreement.

Our lawyers have extensive experience in all aspects of leaseholding. We offer consultations about all of the possible complications that can arise in your rent, such as problems with closing, price, maintenance, and services costs. Likewise, we give advice about legal proceedings, such as demands for lease termination, procedures for increases in the price of rent, and how the lease rules are applied. For example, when the rented space is for a use different from the one stipulated in the agreement (such as when commercial premises are used as a residence).

We can also be of help in preventing and dealing with some recurring topics, such as modification of installations at personal cost, parabolic antennas, renovations and demolition, damages, and cultivation of hemp.

Leaseholding can have many consequences on the atmosphere of your personal life. That's why it is always desirable to get good and timely advice.
