Which Dutch laws refer to mold in rented flat?
Hello, I'm contacting you to ask about specific regulations in the Dutch law that say that renting out a flat with mold on walls is illegal. I'm a foreign worker and two weeks ago I moved into a flat provided by the employment agency with who I have a contract; unfortunately, the bathroom walls are covered with mold. An agency employee has already seen it and hasn't done anything, so I'm considering informing an institution like SNF to intervene. Before I do it, I would like to know what my legal status is in this situation and find out which specific regulations in the Netherlands say that it's illegal to house foreign workers in a moldy flat. I need this information to have concrete arguments to present to the agency, in case they do not cooperate. I'd appreciate it if you could also give me information on what my rights are, which institutions can support me if I decide to report the problem, etc. I hope you'll be able to help me with this issue.
