In many Dutch cities and neighbourhoods, residents are complaining about absentee landlords who purchase homes and split them into units, renting small apartments and rooms to students and foreign workers.
By Frank Scimone.
We enjoy the people living next to us, but when a house split into four levels includes pot smokers and regular heavy smokers on every level, the smell is difficult to bear. However, in typical Dutch style, we try to work out a positive, respectful solution.
Dont you Dutch have TOWN MEETINGS where ONE can stand up and have ONE say,en masse,
Sorry that is French because they do
It seems Europe is becoming a Frighten,and Scared place to Live NOW
WAKE UP NETHERLANDERS.and go talk to the People whom you voted in,and get them out,and elect new ones Take back your Country Now,do your own dirty work dont leave it up to the immigrants to do it for you.They are not stupid,they know how good they have got it.so they take advantage of your good selves.STOP THIS RIGHT NOW OR THE NEXT ELECTION!!!
I have a good solution for them use the Beethoven anti-youth device, and the students will run away from the neibourhood.
Or even better create ghettos for students and Poles, like we have for turkish, arabic, surinamees..
and of course blame students and Poles, they are the first victims of scourge ultra indelicate Dutch landlords, who by the way do not behave that way because they are absent, but because it's more lucrative for them
And Ann not every student is a noisy and smelly pot smoker!
yes, what about the landlords? the problem starts with them. my partner and i had a wonderful apartment in florence italy. it was new and we never had any problems. we moved here for a masters program. we decided on an older apartment because the rent was more affordable. since we arrived a month ago we have had nothing but problems. the heater is broken, the ceiling leaks, and though we have asked the landlord not to let anyone into the apartment when we are not home- twice we have come home to find our door open and strangers working in our house. moreover, the apartment owner does not return calls or text messages. i have never felt such a lack of respect. we are not noisy and we are not 'partiers'- we are however, immigrants and students. are there organisations that protect people like us?
