Indy’s BLOG – First contract with wrong names received.

Leave a reply

Hello Jellyhaor,

thank you.
A few remarks.
The tenant list is wrong.
Its:
  • Dave
  • Alfred
  • Vil
Question 1: Do you have the contract in English?
Question 2: Which additional cost to pay monthly or yearly? Maintinance, Waste, Water or insurance?
Question 3: How to pay the deposit? You already have Dave’s deposit?
Question 4: How to pay the monthly rent? Everyone by himself or all via me?
Question 5: Which additional papers I need to register at the Gemeente?
Question 6: Who is the actual owner? Is he living next door? I dont understand the address.
Question 7; Anything else you need?
Just to let you know:
Alfred and I arranged the move for Thursday. Dave will supply us with the keys.
Have a good day
Vil

Indy’s BLOG – Second apartment tour!

Leave a reply

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!

Indy’s BLOG – Guest House Amsterdam

Leave a reply

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.

Indy’s BLOG – On the road….

There are still very nice people out there and we are happy to meet them. While living in Badalona we met Jack, Teresa and Miguel. Jack is Indy’s best friend and they are very nice people which didn’t hesitate to offer us a place to sleep when they heard that we are in trouble. We can sleep on the floor of their Yoga studio. This is no long term arrangement, only for a few days, but most important we are safe for the moment.

This week Vil needs to go to Amsterdam for an interview as Senior Digital Sales Consultant, another application is still open and after all that there is another interview for a homeworking position for a big american company.

All in all it looks quite promising, but we already know that we can’t rely on a feeling, so we expect the worst and hope for the best.

 

Indy’s BLOG – Last Day Squatting  – “Full programm…”

Leave a reply

Well, this day was interesting. We were physically threatened, had the police in the house, made a official statement, packed all stuff and finally we are out of the house.

What would you do if three f*****ing gypsies standing in front of you and threatening you? I don’t want to be misunderstood, normally I am more then liberal and tolerant, I have absolutely no prejudices, but these guys where scum, the absolute worst and so we better left to avoid any stress or damage.

But we can’t accept something like this without any kind of response, so we called the police and they arrived within minutes. They told the “lying twat of owner” to open the door, so that we can pack the rest of our stuff in peace, but they told us that there is no way we can return into the house.

I never thought that we will move some day with a police escort. 🙂

Fortunately a very good friend lives nearby,  we carried all our stuff to the place and we can stay there on the floor for a couple of nights, but nothing for long time.
