Can I sleep above my rented business premises?

Questioner

I have a restaurant on a holiday park in Zeeland, which is an hour's drive from home. In the catering industry it can sometimes get late, and in high season we have bread service every morning. Above the restaurant is an attic where we would like to make two bedrooms, but the landlord does not approve of this. So that we can spend the night there a few days a week, this gives us a bit more sleep and saves us two hours of travel. Is the landlord within his rights?

Lawyer

The landlord can certainly disapprove of this also on the basis of the business lease agreement because you are not using the rented property in accordance with the agreements and contract conditions and in conflict with zoning plan regulations. You must try to solve it differently.
