Legal Advice Rental Law - Fence Maintenance

Questioner

I live on a forest plot owned by a nature conservation organisation and have had a lease on an existing home for 50 years. The rental agreement only discusses the home. Question: Who is responsible for fencing maintenance?

Lawyer

A fence, if durable, must be arranged for major maintenance by the landlord. Minor repairs, such as painting, are for the tenant. Part L of http://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0014931/2003-08-01

Questioner

Thanks for the advice. I can continue with this. By the way, is there also a Decree on (major) repairs?

Lawyer

Everything that does not fall under minor repair is in principle at the expense of the landlord. The Decree actually already indicates where the boundaries lie and also the lease title of book 7BW. (damage that is a consequence of the failure to repair a defect in the rented property in a timely manner for which the landlord is liable, he will also have to compensate, even if that is minor repair)
