Assistance with Legal Questions about Rent and Liability

Questioner

Halo, We are staying at a campsite in Rijs. Now we have a problem with the manager, we had a blocked sewer and a company had to come to make a new drain. Now the administrator says that we have to pay for this ourselves. But there are more complaints around us. Now my question is, do I have to pay for this myself, or is this for the administrator? We rent the land from the manager, my opinion is that he should ensure proper supply and drainage

Lawyer

Whoever owns the land is also responsible for the contents that are present there. You can also check what has been agreed in your lease agreement about this.

Lawyer

The manager is referring to his own fault and will have to prove that you blocked the sewer. If he fails to do so, there is no basis for recovery. In principle, the landlord is liable for the damage to the sewer, unless otherwise agreed. If you cannot reach an agreement, I would be happy to look at your case.
