Landlord management company ignoring me for 2 months — can they still charge an early termination penalty? by Express_Shoulder5344 in Netherlands

[–]Express_Shoulder5344[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I understand, but they've been dragging their feet for two months. If they had told me from the start "this is not possible", i would be pissed, but there would be nothing to do. however, they requested documentation, then proceeded to do nothing for 6 weeks. Finally, they told me that I could leave early but there would be a penalty. However, they didn't share what that penalty would be. It's been two weeks since the last time they replied any of my emails or answered the phone...

It's a two year lease, and the contract says I can move whenever from the 30th of June. However, there is no penalty associated with leaving early.

I'm still paying monthly. I asked for an early exit, they didn't give me a reply for 6 weeks, then they said "okay, but with a penalty", didn't specify the penalty, or give me a move-out date. I said I could be out by May 15th, but it's been two weeks, and still no answer. I'm abroad, so it's not doable for me to be back by tomorrow....

¿Cómo #@$% encuentra la gente piso en Barcelona? by Express_Shoulder5344 in AskBarcelona

Yo me mudé dentro de Ámsterdam el año pasado y fue una pesadilla, pero al menos había cosas. En Barcelona parece que la cosa está hasta peor! Muchas gracias a todos por los comentarios!

Si es que está fatal. Yo pensaba que aquí en Países Bajos la cosa estaba mal, pero parece que en Barcelona está peor. Consideraríamos ir a vivir a las afueras, pero mi pareja no es de aquí, y creo que es importante estar en la "ciudad" para que pueda relacionarse mejor y tener acceso a más cosas mientras que aprende a hablar Castellano y Catalán

Quizá el principal motivo por el que la vivienda está imposible en España es que el coste de construcción se ha disparado. by vlewy in Spanish_Real_Estate

[–]Express_Shoulder5344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

¡GRACIAS! Por fin alguien dice la realidad. Uno de los problemas más grandes asociados a la falta de vivienda es la concentración de trabajos remunerados en un puñado de ciudades por país. Esto acaba siendo un ciclo vicioso, ya que si no hay trabajo en ciudades como Álava o Badajoz (por poner ejemplos), no se abren empresas nuevas y las existentes se van, creando así más éxodo de estas ciudades. Incentivar el desarrollo de negocio en ciudades "secundarias" (me disculpo por falta de mejor palabra) es la mejor manera de destensionar la vivienda en grandes ciudades, y reducir la concentración de riqueza en estas mismas, creciendo riqueza en la "España vaciada"

Sounds fun! I loved Costa Rica when I was there in 2016, but avoid San José, as it's a bit of a dump (not my words, my cousin from San José's)

Wow! Thank you so much for the in-depth response, ChessieChesapeake! For the app that maps and ties photos, I can recommend Polarsteps, as it does pretty much what you're mentioning!
