This remaining group of residents did not want to leave their chalet until they received compensation from the park owner. They are entitled to this according to the court.
The Ursemmerhof recreation park rented out permanent pitches, but the owner canceled the lease. However, a group of residents continued to use the chalet and challenged the termination of the lease. The judge ruled last year that the termination was justified, but that the group of former tenants was entitled to compensation.
The amount has not yet been determined and must be determined in a special procedure. The former tenants say they will not leave until Ursemmerhof has paid compensation.
Municipality will enforce
In the meantime, the municipality of Koggenland is also urging the owner that the residents must leave. According to the environmental plan, this is prohibited and the municipality wants to enforce illegal occupancy. The owner of Ursemmerhof has therefore initiated these summary proceedings.
‘Distressing situations’
The summary proceedings judge indicates that distressing situations have arisen. Some former tenants indicate that they have put all their savings into the purchase of a chalet. This turned out to be of little value after the rented location was terminated. “No matter how tragic, the summary judgment judge does not deal with the amount of the damage,” the court writes.
The former tenants must leave their chalets within 48 hours. If they stay, they must pay a penalty of 2,500 euros per violation per resident, with a maximum of 15,000 euros.
