Sounds like you made a lot of stupid mistakes considering that you knew your landlord was skeezy.

wtf

chad that this was pinned

Either way, I wish your landlord an eternity of stepping on Legos.

Good luck, Farah!

Looks like it's a win win scenario for me.

Despite some leftists having declared the real estate companies as their main enemy in Germany imo they aren't that bad. You have to pay the market price and are dealing with professionals. One of our former tenants has also accused my grandfather of some bogus numbers / having stolen oil for himself which was nonsense. Imo it's not only a bad thing to have a private landlord as a tenant but it's also a bad thing to be a private landlord.

I'm not trying to imply all landlords are bad. My current landlord is great and I've had great landlords before. (One ended up in jail though, but hey. You win some, you lose some)
I'm accusing this landlord of fraud because he is committing fraud. Objectively, provable fraud.
Also, I have no problem with paying the market price; this guy however, had problems with the market price itself, so he increased it arbitrarily, violating many rental and tax laws.

Farah i am not a lawyer Nor Do i know anything about netherlands laws but 1 thing stuck out to me

1."My landlord called me, said he bought that place and that he would hire a company to remove said couch, and give me the bill. He sent me a bill of €230 for the removal of a couch I didn't throw in there. I went to check yesterday; the couch is still there. I checked who owns the building afterwards. My landlord never bought it."

i think he has to prove that firstly the couch in your apartment secondly you yourself have thrown it there.

You can rent out my house's basement for €250. Included, it comes with many accessories for everyday life, including a stove, refrigerator, oven, table, a bedroom, a place to relax and watch television, and a workout-room!

Although, we will not pay for your food, but you will get the occasional free breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Take the deal? Hit me up!

Damn just read it. It sounds funny until you realise that this is something you are actually having to put up with. I hope you manage to come out on top.
Landlords are a curse on humanity.

I don't understand this post, is a € like a $? Weird stuff lol

€ is the currency in most of Europe. This is common knowledge that you should probably be aware of.

Same as MA. This is hilarious in that the landlord thinks he can get away with this, but also sad in that his gambit is gonna eat up that many hours of your life.

But boy do I love a legal beat down. Waiting to see if I'll have to give one to my ex-landlord as well.

Landlords are a curse on humanity.

They really aren't. We often get confronted with the worst of them, as they make interesting stories. That doesn't mean all lanords are bad. Just that a lot of stories about landlords are about them screwing people over.
This landlord is bad though. It has taken up over 100 hours of my life. I will fight him in court and I will most likely win the case. I did some checking today, and he has never lost a case. It'll be interesting

Perhaps this landlord wins cases by stressing out the tenants and making them throw in the towel. o_o

Also, its silly to assume everyone in an occupation is bad, generally speaking.

I had a fantastic landlord personally, I broke the oven in the house and he charged everyone equally for it.

My current one is keeping all our deposits due to Covid-19. Probably fair.

If law's weren't an existing mechanism, you'd be exploited shitless. They're money whores.

My best wishes Farah.

er ....

Plat, your mom is not your landlord.

Being a landlord isn't a job. Let's not treat it as an earnest way to make a living.

I blame the oven.

It's like guns, Blame guns not the people using it.
