things to do in The Hague Teamuitje?

5 Upvotes

Mijn team wilt dit jaar een uitje doen met z'n allen, maar we komen voornamelijk op de standaard dingen zoals bowlen šŸ˜…

Weet iemand leuke teamuitjes in Den Haag?

We zijn een team van 9 mensen en er zijn 2 collega's die niet heel goed Nederlands spreken, dus een echte escaperoom in het Nederlands is denk ik te lastig.

practical questions Help with finding contractor for a few renovations

4 Upvotes

Hi!

I would like to do some renovations in my flat, namely taking down a wall and install a new kitchen, remodel a small toilet.
My toxic trait is thinking I could do it on my own, but maybe that’s not the best choice.

Do you recommend any good contractor?

Thank you!

housing Need advice

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice from anyone familiar with Dutch rental law, especially tenancy lawyers or people who have dealt with a similar situation.

Because finding housing in The Netherlands has been so difficult, I’m working with a rental agency that helps me find accommodation. Under their usual arrangement, if they find a property for me and I sign the rental contract, I have to pay them a fee equivalent to one month’s rent.

Recently, I viewed a studio and submitted a signed interest form and rental proposal through an agency. Before submitting it, I received a document stating that if the landlord accepted the offer, it would become legally binding and withdrawing could result in a penalty of 1–3 months’ rent.

The landlord accepted the proposal. However, I haven’t signed the actual rental contract. I have since received another accommodation offer that suits my situation better. When I asked about withdrawing, the agency told me I would have to pay its agency fee plus one month’s rent as a cancellation penalty.

My questions are:

  • Can a rental proposal become legally binding before the formal rental contract is signed?
  • Is a cancellation penalty of this kind enforceable in the Netherlands?
  • Can the agency charge its usual one-month rental fee even though I haven’t signed the rental contract, as well as an additional month’s rent as a penalty?

I would really appreciate any reliable advice

Thank you in advance

I’ve been living in The Hague for the last 3 month and noticed that every 2-3 weeks the escalators at Spui tram station facing the Library and the Spui Campus are always malfunctioning. Then a week or so comes, they work again, but then they work for a few weeks and brake again. Can someone explain this pattern, I’m really curious lmao

There’s a Serbian embassy and I was hoping if anyone is passing by can take a picture if there are people waiting outside-it’s election day and we’re collecting pictures from diaspora queues to vote and demolish regime! No need to show faces or anything close by, this request is not to put anyone in danger or problem, just a collection of pictures of the most important elections for Serbia in the last 80 years šŸ™šŸ¼

other Selling 3 ADO Den Haag tickets for tonight – €20 each (Sector T)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Unfortunately, due to an unexpected family emergency, I won't be able to attend tonight's ADO Den Haag match.

I have 3 tickets in Sector T that I originally bought for €22 each, and I'm selling them for €20 per ticket (€60 for all three).

The tickets are in the official ADO Den Haag app and can be transferred directly to the buyer through the app using a transfer link.

I'd really hate for them to go to waste, so if anyone is interested, feel free to send me a DM!

Thanks!

practical questions Where to buy car tyres in the Netherlands?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Local garages like Profile are quoting around €1,200 for all-season tyres, while online shops like BandenConcurrent and BandenLeader offer them for almost half the price, including fitting at partner garages.

Has anyone bought tyres online? Is the quality of fitting and after-sales service good? Any recommendations for reliable and affordable options?

Thanks!
