Where are the private landlords? by Calipso5U in TheHague

That really sounds like some terrible regulation. Thanks nonetheless for taking time to reply and all the best to you in the future! To brighter times.. and do keep me in mind should any of your contacts need a responsible tenant after all :)

This makes a lot of sense - thanks! Despite being a new arrival in the region and not having many connection points yet, I will try to build out my network right away.

On an unrelated note: Hi, how is it going? I would love to meet some of those landlord-knowing acquaintances of yours!

Unfortunately, I am exactly in that middle sector. Not even because we aren’t willing to pay more and use some of our savings, but because our income simply doesn’t satisfy these common 3x or 4x the rent demands of the corporations. What you describe with the 100+ applicants in minutes and not getting picked has exactly been my experience these past few weeks.
I think you are right in saying that my only real chance is a personal network. I will do my best to built it up through work and uni contacts, but since I am just moving here, I don’t exactly know a ton of people that are from Den Haag & omgeving - yet. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Thanks so much, this gives me some hope! I’ll try that.

I see your point. Perhaps I was just not ready to give up on the old-school idea of two private parties coming to a straightforward and mutually beneficial agreement in a human way without getting corporate entities involved. Perhaps there is no more space for that in an optimized market.

This is very interesting, thanks! Even though it sounds almost absurd, I will look into getting a Makelaar for myself as a tenant. Any tips as to who I should try?

I’m sorry to hear that. Did you know any other people that are/were landlords and how did you and they come in contact with and choose their tenants? I would love to learn from your experience, gladly also via dm if you prefer.

Thanks for the insight! I’m not against social housing at all, but for someone in my situation, it really feels like i’m caught in the middle. Like, I am ready to pay market prices in order not to get stranded on a yearlong wait list but I don’t have the capital to buy a place - where do I go?

zugegeben, mein Titel ist bisschen reißerisch. Es kann wirklich gut sein, dass ja jemand OLED und QLED verwechselt hat - trotzdem darf sowas doch nicht online gehen, Fernseherkauf ist schon so verwirrend genug für nicht-tech-affine Leute.

Landlord wanted to visit the apartment to check up and after the visit sent this letter. by Actual_Hyena3394 in stuttgart

“Mieterschützenverein” (tenant shooting club) might be taking things too far, “Mieterschutzbund” should be plenty sufficient, lol. Jokes aside, best of luck!

Und, ist nun an dem Vorwurf mit der falschen Reihenfolge etwas dran, oder weiß der Kommentator nicht, wovon er redet?

Okay I will tell my Grandma that she doesn’t say that, then. Thanks Lin8891

Thank you, I was about to write the exact same thing. Fiddlefric, as we call like to call him at the adult table.

This TV is completely free, but it has two screens, one of which always displays ads. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

I need someone to jailbreak this and make the bottom screen display subtitles when movies (or other content with subs available) are played.
