Should I expect a Tikkie for the piping and wiring the last tenant left behind, or am I expected to bring my own?

  2. am I gonna get a Tikkie from stepping on the floor? It’s usage, after all.

  3. This is obviously only done with laminate floors nobody goes through the trouble of removing and taking anything else.

  5. I’ve never taken the floor. Usually you just Sell it to the new tenant since that’s just much easier for everyone.

  6. Fucking bullshit aids fucking asshole mentality i hate that its a thing ….

  7. Are they expecting that their current place is the same size as their old place?

  9. I’ve never taken the floor. In some rentals however removing the floor is mandatory if the next renter does not want it.

  11. My parents bought their house from a Swiss couple who took the sinks and a metal fence with them

  12. Having been there I unfortunately can confirm is normal. This is also why all the rented flat have those shit cheap rubber flooring

  14. And I thought we were the weird ones for taking the light fixtures with us…

  15. I mean I once SOLDZ the floor of a place I bought because i was taking the in a NEW floor but it wasn’t the floor of my previous place

    But yeah Dutch are floor hoarders

  16. I’m so confused….they take the floor? How? They kneel down and just start stripping the floor? Is the floor just placed and not glued/nailed/whatever?

  17. WTF? How do you actually reuse it ? Laminate floor boards are so cheap. It will fit another room only if it’s way smaller. If someone would try to sell me the flooring I would just tell the person just to take it. It’s more expensive and time consuming to rip it off and carry it somewhere else than the flooring itself.

  19. That’s why I despise the Dutch as a people. Every day, I learn something to make me hate them more. Greedy bastards.

  20. This is insane. It’s like taking the fridge or built in washing machine with you

  24. As an expat in Amsterdam, this is totally true, and is the stupidest thing Dutch people do. And they eat bread with chocolate sprinkles for lunch.

  25. One of the most annoying customs ever. But it goes even further; I once rented a room and the previous tenant wanted to sell the floor to me because he didn’t need it. He was adamant on me paying for it.

    But yea, the alternative is him taking it out just to throw it away. Which he wasn’t going to do. I never payed for the floor and used it for 4 years, but the dude didn’t like me anymore after that.

  26. And to think these are the same people that made Ongezellig

  27. I mean the Germans take their entire kitchens with them to the next rental?

  28. Do you people now understand why we had to go for independence?
    We all agree Belgium is a ridiculous idea, but look at what we’re dealing with here.

  29. This is stupid but true. My bf moved in and had to purchase the floor from the previous tenant as the place didn’t come with a floor 👀 which obviously also meant the floor was badly placed and crooked bc if you force people to diy something big like a floor it’s not gonna come out right.

  30. When you rent a house in many cases your obliged to take your the floor. Tot have to leave a ‘clean’ house, as was ‘delivered’ when your moved in.

    You can make arrangements with the people mining in or the owner.

    Basic principle is when you sell a house is that everything that is attached to the house is part of the house.
    Outdoor Lightning, floor tiles, sink, kitchen.

    A loose unglued floor is not part of that. Your can buy it though

  32. What other nonsense like this is going on in Europe?

    Dutchies bringing their floors, germans taking their kitchens, spaniards can’t evict squatters. Maybe italians bring their bidets, or something like that?

    Sweden is going to the dogs but at least there’s no bs like that

  34. Are they just incredibly poor or mean lads? Would you even be left the dust on the door?

  35. Motherfuckers so tight they’ll strip the damn floor when leaving lmao
