Due to a planned vacation.\n NO response\n The report of the rent assessment committee states that the landlord informed the committee (not me) that the kitchen would be renovated in September.\n\n 19 Sept. Received a message from the landlord that the renovation of the kitchen will start on 26 Sept. Work will be done in the evenings by handymen who only work in the evenings and weekends.\n And it could take several weeks.\n Without consultation.\n\n I have postponed this and informed the rent assessment committee and the landlord.\n  \nMy question is: as a tenant, do I have to accept that work will be done in the evenings WITHOUT consultation, which means that I will not be able to use my kitchen for several weeks.\n\n Kind regards, L. Kuijpers\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Your landlord and you must act reasonably and fairly on this point. You must give the landlord sufficient opportunity to carry out the maintenance and the landlord must do this in such a way that the maintenance is carried out within a reasonable period and in the usual manner. Working only in the evenings and at the weekend does not seem to me to be a usual way of having maintenance carried out, which will also lead to a longer period of inconvenience than if work were normally carried out on the kitchen during the week and during the day for 8 hours a day. In short, I consider this proposal from the landlord to be such that it cannot be said to be good landlordism.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55006383407453,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-50534-ik-huur-sinds-okt-2010-particulier-een-woning-in-het-huurcontract-zijn-een-aantal-achterstallige","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
