Legal Advice on Nuisance Due to Construction Work


Questioner

the housing association has started a renovation in the neighborhood, now there are 2 large construction cabins placed 3 meters away from my front window, I can't see anything anymore and I am bothered by the noise, I understand that cabins have to be placed, but this way it seems as if they are almost in my living room, is this allowed? Kind regards.

Lawyer

Article 220, paragraph 1 of the Dutch Civil Code states the following regarding urgent work on the rented property; 1. If urgent work needs to be carried out on the rented property during the rental period or if the lessor is required to permit something for the benefit of a neighbouring property pursuant to Article 56 of Book 5, the lessee must provide the opportunity to do so, without prejudice to his claims for a reduction in the rent, for termination of the rental agreement and for compensation. The fact that you are inconvenienced by the placed container can be a reason for an objection. Perhaps you received a letter in advance concerning this renovation and you could/can object to it.
