Category Archives: Landlord

Nowadays affordable living space is a very rare commodity and with a dog it’seven harder to find a place, it’s nearly impossible. During our adventures, we met our fair share of greedy and questionable landlords, we paid more rent than we could afford, we got ripped off by agencies and friends. One landlord was admitted to a hospital after he had a nervous breakdown, another was a welfare fraud and much more.

Indy’s BLOG – The agency is confused

Leave a reply

Hi Vil,

I’m confused about the tenant list! This is not how we made the first contract.

Can you please ask Marco to contact me aboud?

Below answers on your questions in BOLD:

Question 1: Do you have the contract in English?

[Comment] Jellyhair just ignored this question.

Question 2: Which additional cost to pay monthly or yearly? Maintenance, Waste, Water or insurance?

You have to ask previous tenant

[Comment] Why should Vil contact the previous tenant? The agency should know this data. They have records of every meter reading.

Question 3: How to pay the deposit? You already have Daniels deposit?

Will make the calculation for you after check-in

[Comment] This answer becomes very important when JellyMommy accuses Vil of lying.

Question 4: How to pay the monthly rent? Everyone by himself or all via me?

Via you

Question 5: Which additional papers I need to register at the Gemeente?

Contract

Question 6: Who is the actual owner? Is he living next door? I don’t understand the address.

Address is the same but lives out of the Netherlands.

Question 7; Anything else you need?

No

[Comment] Vil asked explicitly for anything to be clarified before move in.

We are working on the contract as we finally reserve a message of the owner. I’ll sent you the final contract asap but also need to know what happened with A. Di XXXXX & V.J. XXXXX.

[Comment] WTF? That’s the first time they use confidential customer and disclose them to a non authorized third party.

We live in Amsterdam now for six weeks and we already moved three times and tomorrow we will move again to our new place in Amsterdam. We really hope that this will be the last time we need to move for a long time. Around 11:00 tomorrow morning we will get the keys. The flat is really nice and Dutch. It’s very near to Vondel and Rembrandt Park, plenty of space to run, meet other dogs and enjoy the time in Amsterdam. BBQ! 🙂
