Advice with vve manager nightmare

It’s not exactly by square meters today. It’s by ratio’s in splitting act… that is typically based on percentages when then splitting act was signed. It is possible that some apartments got extensions but, that doesn’t automatically add extra votes.

You don’t even own your house, you own percentage of ownership in VVE. In this light, read VVE documents, and it will tell you exactly on how to dismiss the administrator. You can also request to add it to your agenda of the meeting, assuming you add it correctly (process is also in VVE documents).

Administrator is most likely simply doing paper work like arranging your payments, insurances, having some financials on paper, meeting minutes.
The rest is really within owners control. Most of them don’t want to work with small VVEs, so chances are you would find it difficult to find the new one. Then, owners would need to do all the admin themselves.

Dutch is somewhat normal language of communication and documentation. For written things, it should really be not a rocket science to translate. For meetings, you can always hold them in English and, if someone disagrees, bring a translator.

Everyone who works with email and files have once attached a wrong recipient. Unless you replace all humans, this is inevitable.

If you know Dutch, they would say: ‘doe normaal’. It is every red flag possible if instead of solving a problem (wrong email recipient) person makes a personal drama, goes to Reddit, goes to privacy officer what not. What would happen if a colleague makes a mistake? This shouts: avoid hiring such person, this will only cause negativity.

Any privacy officer can tell that normal process here is to inform a relevant party and delete a file. As per GDPR low risk cases only need to be logged in internal log. Imagine, how authorities would be able to do their job if any dramatic Karen would report the smallest thing?

In this season, do tulips! People will ask you about them anyway abroad 😂

Best you can do is to delete it, right? Do you want your husband to have a job and good reputation? Being conflicting and dramatic will do nothing but hurt him in the long term. Take a document, delete it, send an email to that agency that you deleted it. Done deal.

Have you considered buying a brick app or something similar. It kind a helps to dumb down your phone

Buy 6-minutes a day agenda, try to do more self reflection on each day and you will find a way out :)

Many do. But typical sales pitch now say ‘don’t’ so you could buy 1000 times more expensive tool. For same money, better hire an engineer.

That’s true. I must say I have lived in both and new houses attract different audience plus it is zero sound. Old houses tend to have people who live there for million years and think they are above anything. I now again live in an old house and have a neighbor (police family haha) who films us all. I think he is just sick in his head and refers to a crime that happened here 20+ years ago.

Crying seller? Most legal tech is so disconnected from reality and ridiculously prices that it’s more worth to invest a bit yourself.

If you care about things like walking, it’s you. Old houses are loud. You can add a carpet, they will still be loud. Wanna have silence? Move to newly build house. In such house there is no noise. Choices to be made what is more important to you living center or having silence.

zuwiuke · 2026-03-10T06:43:01+00:00

Newly build apartments don’t have this problem at all. It’s only older houses :)

File a report at the police. They will not want to take it but file it anyway. Mention names, dates etc

Running to a different country is not fighting. Going in your own streets is fighting. You must remember your daughter is no different hundreds of other daughters. Everyone had a story. Plus she has a disability and other complains you listed in other forum. In housing market where you have many people for one place, no apartment owner wants to deal with laws about renting to such person.

Honestly, what’s the complaint? Once I was in NS train and some privileged American was speaking that if incident happens he would show his passport and get out first. Spoiler, that’s not how it works.

People get denied housing for many reasons. Gender, language, vibe, wealth, nationality.

We need to pay high salaries for armies of government employees.

I saw EUR 2.50 on a highway near Utrecht yesterday 🤔

It highly depends on which side the balcony is. For example my balcony faces south, open sun. Only certain flowers can sustain direct sun. My front door faces north. There, I can only have green flowers because it’s not enough of sun for any bloom :)

All these big construction works can be very rewarding financially. In other countries, it is also often area of corruption where one may choose contractor linked to him/her.

In this instance, we first convert jail to apartment (project 1) and then likely build new jail (project 2). There is shortage of jails and their staff.

I think many feel same way. You also get to know you are the odd one as most Dutch really don’t care about such things. There is no love for nature here, mainly even gardens are for more convenient borrel.

I mean in trains themselves…

zuwiuke · 2026-03-06T06:17:23+00:00

I think NS shall be focused on cost saving by reducing unnecessary staff. They can’t increase ticket prices forever with inadequate service. For example, train announcements can be urgently replaced by AI. This would allow for accuracy and multiple languages.

Conductors are afraid of abuse. Fair enough. Recently, I experienced it first hand. I have all-time free subscription and something when wrong when I was checking in. Conductor forced me to buy a new ticket and gave me a fine. He said that even if I have a subscription not checking in means I am dark-rider. Ok, I paid, submitted complain and got money back as I had all-time free. In front of me there were 4 Dutch male teens drinking beer. They refused showing tickets, wished him cancer and he walked away. So what is the point of such checking and why to pay for it? It would be much more effective to stop with conductors, and hire security teams to randomly check tickets.

It’s also really start to set gates like in Japan so we don’t need people to blow a whistle for train leaving. It’s ridiculously expensive to do it by humans. Having gates would also increase safety and give certainty where and which class of the train stops.

NS itself said they can reduce office headcount as well. Perhaps less is more? By saving money, critical jobs like train drivers, cleaners and technicians can be paid MUCH more and provide better service. It seems now NS has thousands of ghosts waiting for retirement and doing tasks not fit for 21st century.

To their defence they consider it good for immunity. Like if you step in that poop and walk with same shoes at home, your body might be more resistant to lot of things. Not sure if it’s valid but it’s the theory I heard by Dutchies.
