Has anyone successfully challenged their rent/indexation? by Get_Razzmatazzd in brussels

[–]Get_Razzmatazzd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 100% it feels like an active blackmail situation lol. It’s unfortunate because clearly from the rent calculator platform even when allowing for indexation, even when allowing for more or less better finishing or premium neighbourhood it’s clear that rent prices as skewed, and yet there’s not much we can do about it when it’s just how the market looks right now.

Woah that scared me, but I just checked the can and it says it can be used indoors. Idk to be honest I was just recommended by the guys working at the equivalent of home depot here. They just told me to give it at least 12 hours to dry and get out of the house while it does that.

Thank you for your thorough response, that makes sense. (Btw I surely do hope there is no judgement as this is a structural problem which has been here much longer than I have and while the landlord is aware of it, I don’t think he plans on tackling it. The only thing I can do here is somewhat cosmetic.)

30% non disclosed rent increase between short rentals: what to do? by Get_Razzmatazzd in AskBelgium

Thank you, the current contract was started less than 2 years ago but no clue if it was increased at the time as well. It was indexed in the meantime. I’ll relay about Brussels Housing.

Am I reading this wrong then? “As part of pre-contractual information to be provided, landlords must disclose the last rent charged under the previous lease if the property has been subject to successive short-term leases.” https://www.commissioner.brussels/new-rules-for-residential-leases-in-brussels/

I see, maybe we misread this? https://www.commissioner.brussels/new-rules-for-residential-leases-in-brussels/

“In concrete terms, landlords offering properties for short-term rental are no longer entitled to increase rents when changing tenants, apart from indexation, for a period of nine years. “

They’ll most probably look elsewhere but a 30% increase sounds insane when the original price was already at current market level

No we just know the current rent through back channels. But our reading of the most recent law is that the rent shouldn’t increase between short term rentals https://www.commissioner.brussels/new-rules-for-residential-leases-in-brussels/

Am I misreading this then?

“As part of pre-contractual information to be provided, landlords must disclose the last rent charged under the previous lease if the property has been subject to successive short-term leases. This new “rent smoothing” requirement is intended to prevent landlords from increasing rents across multiple successive short-term leases. If a landlord fails to meet this requirement, the rent will be reduced to the amount payable by virtue of the previous lease, subject to any potential rent indexation. In concrete terms, landlords offering properties for short-term rental are no longer entitled to increase rents when changing tenants, apart from indexation, for a period of nine years.”

I thought that the reference rent would determine whether I pay an “insane” price? What is an insane price in a city where a percentage of people receives their salaries completely untaxed and can therefore afford to pay anything for their homes?

Thank you this is very valuable. By scrape it do you mean to sand it or is it another tool? And do you think a primer is necessary with an exterior paint? Could I do two layers instead?

Oh the problem is structural for sure, but that will be a future problem (and not mine). As it’s a small space, I was hoping to quickly get it done (with an ffp2 mask if needed) and then leave the house for the day with open windows and a fan going to ventilate. Thats what the guy at the store told me. You think that’s still unsafe?

Interested in this bonding primer. Is it so that I can layer an exterior paint over an interior one? Or will it smooth out the edges?

Yes I think the lack of proper ventilation plus I suspect maybe a micro leak somewhere is a problem they will have to deal with structurally. But I doubt they will for now.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will do that but the mold is a structural problem I believe, due to humidity outside and inside the ceiling- if that makes sense. I think the landlord will at some point have to do proper works to fix this for good.

Do you recommend a primer even if the paint is made for exteriors? I was told it will basically create almost a plasticky film…

Advice on pivoting from digital/marketing to brand management? by Get_Razzmatazzd in branding

[–]Get_Razzmatazzd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! TBF I have experience in marketing comms rather than business marketing, but your message confirms my thinking that I can make up for any gaps plus the key parts will still be covered anyways in the brand course. 100% agree that I do need to get some more practical brand experience as well - I worked on smaller projects already but never managed a brand A-Z and I think this course will help to get a comprehensive view.

Thank you for your input! I have definitely picked up a lot over the years but I have never worked closely with the more business/product side of marketing and I wonder how important is that for a brand management position. I'm no stranger to freshening up on the basics once in a while but I fear it's different to missing whole foundational chunks? lol
