How does the termination of a lease agreement for medium-sized business premises work (Section 7:290 of the Dutch Civil Code)?

9 March 2020|

Lease agreements for shops, catering, take-away or delivery services and craft businesses are referred to as lease agreements for medium-sized business premises. Specific legal provisions apply to this type of lease. The starting point is a high level of protection for the tenant. After all, the lessee must be able to build up his business and generate income and goodwill. The protection of the tenant also means that lease contracts for medium-sized business premises cannot simply be terminated. This is subject to legal requirements.
