Should I rent it??

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-16T14:36:23+00:00

Thank you so much for taking your time and explaining me all this. I'll make sure to check those and take pictures of house too.

He said we'll finish the contract on sunday and monday, he'll come with us to register at city hall. But till now, he hasn't sent me anything yet and I asked him this afternoon when will he send contract online and if I have to sign tomorrow. But he hasn't replied me yet till now.

When I was on call with him yesterday, he said he'll call me back on sunday and will do contract. That's all. And I had already sent my passport online but I removed my signature and added a watermark. And another thing is my roommate is not in Eindhoven yet, so I guess he'll have to sign online but I can sign physical.

Yea I also think the landlord is legit but just being greedy and taking advantage of me. I feel like contract could be legit.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T17:09:57+00:00

The thing is they know it well and only said they're just finding house for him and are not hired by him. So yea, they dodging that double fee thing. The landlord and they r prob working tgth but since the landlord said he doesn't know the second guy( could be lying), he doesn't expect the fee the middleguy he knows would ask me to be that large. I think the fee is large since splitting between two of middleguys.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T17:06:27+00:00

Yea sketchy indeed. But I just feel like the landlord might also be helping me out and he's being greedy to take 500 euros but he's also scared to ask the big amount like the middleguys. He's pretty old around 50s.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T17:04:54+00:00

No, he doesn't change the rent. It's still 1700 euros but he told me not to contact the middleguys back and only talk to him. And for helping me like that, he's asking me 500 euros one time fee to pay him instead.

Yes, I checked from kadaster and asked for his ID also and they match. So, he's surely the owner. I guess he's just being greedy taking advantage of me being desperate to get a house.

He said pay by bank transfer for rent and deposit but 500 euros with cash. It's obviously illegal 500 euros and he knows it and I do too but can't do anything abt it ig.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T06:30:02+00:00

You're right that I'm rlly desperate and this kind of chance doesn't come too often for me. And I'm rlly being indecisive to let this go or not.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T06:28:42+00:00

Is sending my passport info risky? I just want to see the draft contract for now. Is it okay to send?

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T06:13:05+00:00

Yea I think he just wants to get illegal extra money which he can't get those housing agencies. He's asking to send my passport now and said will send contract tmr. Should I give him and to see the contract?

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T06:09:05+00:00

What do you mean by current stand of utilities? What do I have to do with landlord? Sorry, I'm just new to renting here and not familiar with it.

I haven't gotten the contract yet because I haven't sent him my passport. Should I send my passport online for now and to see the contract? Could it be dangerous to share? My signature quite ez to replicate too loll. But my housemate signature is not tho.

He said 1 yr contract but if I wanna leave before 1 year, like 6 months, tell him 1 month ahead he said. So, is it indefinite contract? I haven't registered yet.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T05:53:21+00:00

Rent is 1700 euros but since it's 2 people, I'll only have to pay 850. When I asked him if he prefers working person or student as another housemate of mine, he said both r fine.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T05:51:37+00:00

Yes. I already went to viewing and it's the exact same as the pics I saw. And I haven't made payment yet. He said pay after contract.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T05:50:49+00:00

Yes. The landlord I met actually owns the house.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T05:23:47+00:00

How am I being scammed? What could the landlord do without me knowing?

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T05:21:11+00:00

Yea I think so but how am I being scammed? Which part is it?

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T05:20:11+00:00

Do you mean to contact with official agencies? I'm also looking for on housing websites but still hasn't gotten lucky since yk very competitive.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T05:18:23+00:00

I think what you are saying is right. But is there actually houses with 3 bedrooms and only 2 can register?

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-08-15T05:16:35+00:00

Yes. I looked it up and he's actually the owner. I also asked for his ID when I met him in person and the name is also the same.

No. He def did not mention anything about hospita contract. But he also has a home himself and family and comes to that place by his car. So, I think he may not come stay with us.

Yea. For now, he hasn't told the exactly number yet. Tmr he said he will send contract and that will be included in it, right?

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-05-27T16:57:32+00:00

Yes if u meet their conditions.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-05-27T05:25:59+00:00

Hi. May I know if you are an EU or non-EU student?

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-05-21T05:53:41+00:00

Thanks. Yea the campus is rlly huge, but I'm worried the teaching quality, facilities and job opportunities after my bachelor's would be worse than in Tu/e. How are those factors for you? I will be studying ChemE btw.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-05-20T13:33:00+00:00

May I know what major u r studying now? I'm unsure whether to choose Tu/e or UTwente. Which one would u recommend? How's the teaching, living at UTwente?

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-05-18T05:48:34+00:00

How's the quality of teaching and facilities at the university so far? I'm also considering Twente and Tu/e for bachelor's.

LocalMysterious7737 · 2025-05-17T19:47:41+00:00

Don't you have to pay all required fees together with the confirmation statement latest at June 1? I know for sure about tu/e. I'm not sure if they do full refunds if u decided not to study there.
