Paying property tax to the landlord as a private tenant
Questioner
Good morning, I just received my new lease. It states that I have to pay the ozb as a tenant (this concerns a home, not a business). The ozb is charged to me. I wonder if that is legally correct. This is stated in the lease: 8. Taxes and other levies 8.1 Unless this is not permitted by law or regulations arising therefrom, tenant's account, even if the landlord is charged for it: a. the property tax and the water board or polder charges; b. environmental levies, including the surface water pollution levy and wastewater purification levy; c. the profit tax or related taxes or levies, in whole or in proportion part thereof, if and to the extent that the tenant benefits from that on the basis of which the assessment or levy is imposed; d. other existing or future taxes, environmental protection contributions, charges, levies and fees. These taxes and other levies are only passed on to the extent that they relate to the actual use of the rented property and the actual co-use of service areas, general and common areas. 8.2 If the levies, taxes, fees or other charges for which the tenant is responsible are collected from the landlord, these must be returned to the landlord by the tenant upon first request. met. Thank you in advance,Lawyer
