It’s also hard to find an affordable rental in the Enschede area, especially if you want to live on your own. I noticed that the rent was going up every year, and I wondered if that was actually fair.
I noticed more and more that they were asking for more money, even though the living conditions weren't exactly great: drafts, so it was cold in the winter, a heating system that didn't work properly, and other issues.
I don’t know much about the rules regarding rental properties myself. I did try looking it up on my own, but you quickly get overwhelmed by a flood of information without really knowing what to do with it. Huurfix it much easier and clearer, and put together a summary. I found Jan to be very reliable: he was very knowledgeable, easy to reach with questions, and provided clear information. My 26 m² apartment ended up with a reduced rent. I’d definitely recommend this if you have any doubts about the rent you’re paying. Jan walks you through the process step by step and really knows his stuff.
