  Amy S. asked:

  HELP! Housing agency will not give me back my money. I initially sent an excess of my monthly rent to the housing agency, rather than the landlord, because my contract is in Dutch. The housing agency denied this for 6 months - I made numerous phone calls and sent emails from both me and my landlord. Last month they finally admitted to having the money but I still haven't received it back, even though they said that they would. I am still chasing them. This agency also received a 'huge' commission for finding the property for me - I am not sure this is legal. Is anyone able to help? Someone who has experience or who is a lawyer? Any advice will be appreciated.

  Sam G. asked:

  Any experts here in Dutch tenancy agreements? Doesn't need to be a professional but just someone who can read Dutch and has experience with Dutch renting for many years? I need someone to read our tenancy agreement, and just tell us what our rights are as tenants. Also what they write on tenancy contracts doesn't mean its law. They can write bullocks, but I need to know what's really the law.. I am happy to pay 30 Euros..

  Jess W. asked:

  Hi, I'm looking for someone to repair a front door damaged by our buggy. It needs to be taken off, sanded down, possibly filled in a bit, and re-painted the same color. Our landlord is quoting us €1000, which seems crazy. Any handymen/women out there who can get the job done for a more reasonable amount? Many thanks!!

  Gerrit B. asked:

  Need some info please: I live in a 3 story building in the centre of Amsterdam. A couple on the first floor, me on the second floor, and a couple on the top floor. We are now asked to leave as soon as possible because die Gemeente wants to make Vrije sector huur, and make it as one house for one family. Legally i don't know if this is fine. Has anybody encountered a situation like this or know where i can find some information. It all sounds a bit too easy for them to kick us out, and then have another empty building with no one living in it. Any info would be appreciated. thanks
