Damage
All sorts of ways can cause damage in or to your home, such as storm, fire or burglary. What to do in case of damage, read below.
Property damage
It is important to take out a good (appropriate)inheritance insurance so that damage to your belongings is covered. This insurance covers items you can pick up and take away, as well as changes you have made to your home. You are responsible for damage to your household contents and self-installed changes to your home. In case of damage to your contents, contact your own insurance.
Damage caused by maintenance work
Something may go wrong while our maintenance partners are working on your property. If you have suffered damage as a result, please report this immediately to the contractor (of the maintenance company) as well as to Woonpartners.
If you accidentally damage the building yourself, you will be responsible for repairing it. It is therefore important that you also have (third-party) liability insurance (third-party insurance).
Fire damage
In case of fire damage, the first thing to do is of course call the fire brigade. Then contact Woonpartners immediately. Fire damage often has a lot of impact. Foundation Salvage often provides initial care for people affected by fire. Even for fire damage, it is important that you have good contents insurance. Besides compensating you for damage to your belongings, it is important that the insurance also pays you for temporary replacement living space. The recovery time of a fire damage can sometimes take up to four months. Together with damage experts, we will ensure that the damage to your home is repaired quickly.
Water damage
Water damage can be caused by a leak in the pipes. If so, turn off the main tap immediately to prevent more damage. Report this to us immediately. Water damage to your own belongings and self-installed changes should be reported to your own home insurance company.
Burglary or vandalism
Report damage from a burglary or destruction of the building directly to Woonpartners at (0492) 508 888. And report it to the police immediately. An official report will be drawn up. When doing so, report that it concerns rented accommodation from Woonpartners. Send us a copy of the official report. We can then repair the damage to your home. Is there (also) damage to your own belongings? Please contact your own insurance company.
Storm damage
Storm damage to buildings is the responsibility of Woonpartners. Storm damage to your own belongings falls under your responsibility. As a tenant, you have a duty to do everything you can to prevent damage. For example, make sure you close windows and doors when storms are expected. This not only prevents damage, but also prevents you from being held liable for the damage due to negligence.
