Mogen mijn verhuurder en makelaar vervangingskosten op mij verhalen?
I have recently moved out from the rental apartment which was taken via the Agency. They are claiming for damage costs for Bathroom Furniture and Flooring.
The flooring had some bumps which we had already informed and also the House had leakage from outside facade.
The bathroom furniture has slightly swollen wood at corners and we haven't misused or done anything to cause this damage. It's most likely due to moisture in the bathroom and normal usage as the size of the bathroom is very small and also there was no door or provision for curtains to the shower.
I have offered to provide 400 euros as the cost of the new unit which is
damaged is 299 euros
The Landlord and Agency is claiming for entire cost of replacement of this which is around 975 euros.
The Landlord is wrong. The damage he claims is lilkey to be the result of a defect in the bathroom or normal slijtage and gebruikssporen . Then even if he could claim he must not claim the total renewel of the furniture . He must take into account the day values. Does your Landlord still has the deposit ? I am able to help you with this case for a reseonable price. Please direct contact me for further information.
