Document background
A House Eviction Notice is a critical legal document used in the Netherlands when a landlord or property owner needs to formally terminate a residential tenancy and require the tenant(s) to vacate the property. This document must be prepared in accordance with Dutch housing law, particularly the provisions of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) Book 7, which governs residential tenancies. The notice should only be used when there are valid legal grounds for eviction, such as non-payment of rent, serious breach of tenancy agreement, or other legally recognized reasons. It must include specific information such as property details, parties involved, grounds for eviction, notice period, and vacation date. The document serves as a formal first step in the eviction process and may be required as evidence in subsequent legal proceedings if the tenant fails to comply.
