Legally, they can kick you out when you are 18 given that you are an adult, and demanding that they take care of you at that point makes you sound like an entitled child. That said, it is entirely up to the parents to determine how long they want to take care of their adult child.

But we are getting off topic.

Farah, I wish you luck with this landlord. He sounds like a real piece of work. (I know I shouldn’t wish I’ll on people, but I wouldn’t be sad if there were a wayward bus when he is crossing the street.)

Also, your lawyer sounds like they broke the law by allowing themselves to be hired by both you and your opponent. As someone previously mentioned, I’d recommend looking into it with the bar association or equivalent.

Best of luck!

Sucks to be kicked out so early Farah. High cost was the main reason that made me decide to stay and take the train to school rather than go live closer.

You should not only sue your landlord to get back your money, but counter sue him for all a compensation for all the time you wasted on his BS.

same, except my parents don't want me to leave without having a job and enough capital first

@Z

The point is, tenants have their rights and you can show the police on your passport that you live there.

Kicking people on the street is illegal. So your parents need to have eviction documents to legally kick you, which are hard to get. Without these documents they can't do shit.

Maybe in the US. Over here (Germany), yes, you can kick out your kids when they turn18, but you will still be required by law to pay them subsistence allowance until they have finished their vocational education and earn their own money. I don't know Dutch alimony laws, but I guess they are not that much different in that aspect?

Let's just say me being kicked out was sort of a mutual agreement. But more mutual from my parents' side. Moving out was the best thing I ever did. I finished my high school and then went on to study. Which turned out to be way easier when I didn't have my parents' drama around

I used to live in the Netherlands. May I ask which state or city you live in? (My mom would have a field day with this situation, since she's put people in their place many times before.) We've had many landlords, one of which was probably one of the best in Germany. But then we moved to Maryland and had two landlords kick us out; one to start a business and one to sell the house. The one to sell the house came with a fair share of problems throughout our stay, including not removing her stuff out and trying to charge us for damage her movers caused.

So, another funky update:

This morning I received a letter. The postman deemed it so important that I had to sign to prove I received it. After a small back-and-forth with the postman, I signed the document, received my letter and continued to read it. It was my landlord's debt collector who had written me. When I finished reading and taking it all in, my mother called me. She had received the same letter. What a coincidence!

The letter stated that I hadn't paid the €1229,67 yet. At least they got one fact right. Because they are so generous, they are giving me seventeen days to pay. The last letter, from July 17th, only gave me sixteen days. Now, if my math is correct (and it rarely is), July 17th is 39 days ago, so I might have not paid in time indeed. Anyways. They're claiming they're going to sue me and my mother. Now, my mother is married to a guy. And this guy doesn't like being sued. He's working on a letter (and it contains a LOT of swearwords), which will be funny to read once it's finished.

In the meantime, to reply or not to reply, that is the question. Sending another picture of me laughing at them seems like a funny joke, but I feel it's passed its funniness. Therefore, I've replied this time with this picture of my cat, to pay for all the damage I've caused them:

They didn't accept my currency =/

That's a cute cat! I can only hope the photo is made on your previous landlord's property. I also hope the letter contains many creative swearwords, as they are clearly superior.

On a more serious note, good luck. I thought a court meeting was already scheduled? But why are they then threatening to sue you?

Furthermore, your previous lawyer is a dick. Don't forget to tell that to your new lawyer. Could get funny with the "deken".

My advice is a sword duel in old Europe traditional way, you vs landlord

would it be weird if i say I thought you would be given a house when you turn 18?

If it’s legal, you should carry around a tomato at all times and throw it at the landlord when you get the chance.

If the above is not legal, you should “accidentally” spill something all over the landlord.

Interesting, please post updates.

I think you should slip an image of Mao into his letter slot. Remind him it's not a natural law that his parasite class can continue exploting the working people forever.

@goralgn: who should give/pay for the house? why should it be a house and not a condo or flat? where should it be located? how big? what dispositions? ... overall I expect that's all up to you. Your parents/family may support you somehow.. if they can. A state/municipality/society/kibuc... may support you somehow... in case there are things set up such way. In both cases, you expect others take care of you. Ask yourself if that's right / really needed.

Who's gonna take care of me? I don't have a job and would appreciate any support. Is there any good soul? :)
I can't find a job because I'm always tired and have a sleeping disability.

I'm a little late to the party but this is hilarious. At the same time, I'm really sorry that you have to go through this Farah, what a terrible situation.

You're a little late to everything, cuz you're a turtle. We're not surprised.

Best of luck, Farah. Among other things, this story makes me despair for humanity.

oof.....
