As an introductory comment, the Dutch district courts and courts of appeal have judged exclusively in interlocutory proceedings (kort gedingen) in disputes concerning the tenants’ obligation to pay the contractual rent during the COVID-19 pandemic. At this moment, there are no court rulings on the merits of these cases (bodemprocedures). Therefore, the current case law only concerns temporary provisions, which can be confirmed as well as overruled in possible further appeal proceedings and/or in proceedings on the merits of the case.
