Article 10 Managing funds
Keeping a deposit paid to TVH. Tijdelijk THV kan beslissen dat een betaalde borg door huurders op verzoek van de huurder, bank , deurwaarder geparkeerd kan blijven op een rekening van THV. TVH may also make this decision unilaterally if they see the need to do so, or keep the deposit for the safety of the tenants. A deposit paid is the property of the tenants and may therefore not be used by the landlord or TVH. After consultation with tenant and landlord, in combination with a final inspection report at the end of the agreement, TVH will return the deposit to tenants, less any damages or rent arrears that have demonstrably arisen. The landlord will continue to hold its responsibilities regarding the content of the rental agreement in the event TVH is no longer able to fulfil its obligations.
To any assignment between TVH and the client, and any resulting legal acts and/or disputes, Dutch law shall apply.
