Resolving Rental Disputes Without Termination

Disputes in rentals are common, but termination is not always necessary. Discover alternatives such as mediation and the Rent Tribunal.

Common disputes: rent price, maintenance or nuisance. Step 1: Talk to the landlord or tenant. Step 2: File a complaint with the Rent Tribunal for rent price assessment or defects. This is free and binding. In successful mediation, 70% of cases end without court.

Legal framework: article 7:242 CC for rent price adjustment. Avoid direct termination; this weakens your position. In urgent cases: summary proceedings. Examples: tenant receives discount for defective maintenance, landlord receives payment arrangement. Build a file with photos and correspondence. Legal assistance via legal expenses insurance saves time and money.
