Legal Advice and Support","description":"\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n My wife and I have been living in a rental property for 2.5 years now. 2 weeks ago the landlord indicated that he wanted to sell it, we indicated that this was no reason for termination. Now he indicates that he is going to live there himself... We do not trust this. \nWe have already bought a new house, but it still has to be built. Expected completion date end of this year (December). We don't want to have to move twice in a few months and we also don't have alternative housing, what can we do?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n In short, the landlord moving into the home himself is not in itself a valid reason to terminate the lease. There must be urgent personal use, whereby a balancing of interests takes place in the landlord's favour, while there must also be suitable living space for the tenant. The landlord will have to achieve this through the court, since you do not agree with the termination. You can make this known to the landlord.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n I agree with Mr Biharie. Furthermore, a procedure at the court often takes so long that the landlord wonders whether it would not be quicker to simply wait until your new home is ready.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Thanks for the responses!\n \nIf the landlord decides to go to court, who should pay the resulting costs?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n The landlord will then have to pay the costs if the judge rules in your favor.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n To avoid disappointment, I would like to point out that a legal costs award is determined via a certain scale. You rarely receive a compensation that compensates you for all costs incurred.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55005999825245,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-53625-ik-woon-met-mijn-vrouw-nu-2-5-jaar-in-een-huurwoning-2-weken-geleden-gaf-de-verhuurder-aan-dat-hij","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
