I rent a house from the housing association. When I moved in, there was a tree in my front garden. It really needs to be pruned. I would like to know if I am responsible for that or the housing association. I did not plant the tree myself. If necessary, I would also like to remove it completely.\n I would like to hear from you. Thanks in advance.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n The answer lies in your lease: it should state who is responsible for the plants in the garden. If your lease doesn't say anything about it, contact the housing association. If that doesn't help, the tree is a concern for the housing association, as the owner of the land.\n\n If you agree to remove the tree, first check with the municipality whether you need an environmental permit for this. Previously, this was called a felling permit. If so, the municipality will ask you whether you have permission from the owner of the land (= the housing association) to cut down the tree.\n\n  \u003ch4\u003eQuestioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Thank you very much for this clear answer!\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55016527757661,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-33715-ik-heb-een-vraagje-over-een-boom-in-mijn-voortuin-ik-huur-een-huis-van-de-woningstichting-toen-ik","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
