Haarlem Landlady gets crazy. FUCK! AGAIN? WHY?

Hi there,
Our actual landlord has a medical condition and we can’t stay there any longer AND Vil needs to go to training next week for three weeks. STRESS!

We need to find a place for us ASAP. We are looking for a place for around 1.200 – 1.500 Euro in Amsterdam and surrounding areas. We are registered in the Netherlands, have all papers sorted and Vil can show my working contract (if needed!)

We need a nice and affordable place to stay (preferred furnished). Maybe or own place or a room in a shared flat, we don’t really care, but the place needs to be nice and suitable for a mid-sized Labrador & Border Collie mix.

We are able to pay good money and we expect a good value for this because we are not feeding greedy landlords or any other kind of parasite trying to take advantage of the situation on the market. We don’t need a luxury apartment, but all appliances should work. We will take good care of your property and we will always pay our rent in time.

WHAT NOT!
Let me say a few things before you reply:
– No collection of email address.
– Please, NO Western Union or bank transfer stories.
– No stories with fake keys
– No rip off! ….. Get Lost!
– Cockroaches

WHO?
A few words about Vil. He is German, speaks also French and English and just relocated from Barcelona to Amsterdam because he found a very nice job for a big software company in the city center.  And there is me, Indy,  a well educated and lovely dog, a labrador/border collie mix.

WE ARE CONSIDERING TO SHARE!

WHEN?
As soon as possible.

BUDGET?
My budget is up to 1.500 Euro

Please send us pictures and your conditions for your property via reply-email or PM. Please include your contact details. We will WhatsApp you if we consider your property.

Thank you

!!BARK!!

Dutch Paperwork. Ping! Pong! …. Patsch!

To register the town of Amsterdam requests a paper from Vil, which he needs to obtain from the German General Consulate. To obtain this paper from the German General Consulate he needs a statement that he is registered in Amsterdam. So he can’t register, because he need to produce a paper which he only gets when he is registered.

WTF?!

Indy’s BLOG – Second apartment tour!

Today Vil viewed five apartments, the first one was nice, but unfurnished, the second had too steep stairs I couldn’t walk, the third was just awful, the fourth was nice but a bit too expensive and the last one will maybe our new place. He placed an offer and now we need to wait for the response of the landlord. 1.425 Euro for a ground floor apartment with around 45 square meters. BOAH, that’s serious money!

!WaitBark!

Indy’s BLOG – No Payment, No Relocation Number, NOTHING!

Outch! Today was the day of truth and Vil needed to learn that he might misunderstood the relocation agreement. He was under the impression that the relocation budget covers all expenses for flat search and renting, but unfortunately neither the deposit is covered nor there will be any advance payment to cover this expenses.

He was already informed that he won’t get paid at the end of the month, because he joined the company at the 15th and Payroll closes at the 14th of the month, so he need to wait until end of next month to get any payment.

FUCK Bark, we are so screwed.

Indy’s BLOG – Guest House Amsterdam

They put us in a wonderful, high standard, totally overpriced guest house, but we need to buy the toilet paper ourselves. The cutlery, plates and cups are the cheapest IKEA one and the ONE pot, the ONE pan are even cheaper supermarket stuff. Fully service is something different.

And they paid an unbelievable 150.- Euro a day to the rental agency.

In a retrospective it was completely nonsense to put us in such a house. We didn’t wanted that and the relocation agency was aware of it. We explicitly asked for a small place with dog, nothing else. Come on, we slept the last weeks on the floor of a Yoga Studio. We don’t need that…. We need food, money for the ticket and medicine.
