So I didn’t really have a contract but I was living in the house for 2 years. The previous roommate was the main tenant. I just sent two forms (with the landlord’s and main tenants details) to the government just to register my address. The main tenant moved out in July and the landlord is currently in the process of m...

Ok just wait for the new contract and don’t do anything before both you and your landlord have signed it. Don’t let them know anything, keep dumb and act when everything is fully signed. About the slanted parts, it doesn’t seem like those would add any meaningful points. Just to double check: no storage space for you ...

Yess that’s good, others have also advised the same so I am planning to do that. No bike storages no. I just double checked and it says no energy label. I input the address of my parents to make sure nothing is faulty and they do have an energy label, but my address doesn’t.

I saw you saying something about the landlord wanting to renew the contract. You've been there for over 2 years, by definition it is an indefinite contract, regardless of what the new contract states. You could stick to your current contract if it is in your name. If he wants to change it to reflect your name and make ...

u/EuthaNasi its not as simple as that. He was a tenant for two years which means he might be too late to ask for a reduction whether he was the main tenant or not.

If the label is registered after the starting date of the contract or if the label is fully missing, my experience with the HC is that they resort to the building year which is usually beneficiant for the tenant

Ah! Thanks for the correction and apologies for the misinformation. So how could this pan out?

That would still result in a decreased rental rate, no? If the lan...

Corridors, storage spaces, laundry rooms, garages and basements still count. As long as they are at least 2m2. They give 0,75 point per m2. Living space (living room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom) counts for 1 point per m2.

Hi all, I've been living in the current flat for 2+ years on a shared contract with my current flatmate. She's moving out this month.

Feels a bit like a vacation home. Honestly, they've done quite a good job with the place. It looks good. Not €1500 a month good, but sure does look nice. The location is also insane, that's right in the middle of the city centre. If that's what you want, there's literally not a better location possible.
