What do you think about this situation? Personally their story broke my heart, I can’t believe they struggle so hard to be helped
And specifically what do you think about the landlord owning several apartments in the same street? Can anyone shed some light on this practice, how widespread it is and why it’s done?
I mean its sad, but in 5 years they didnt manage to learn even french, let alone luxemburgish.
Also you can rent outside of lux city and then you dont have to pay 2000 euros.

>He asked Caritas and other social organizations to help him find a home for him and his family. Without success. He then decides to open a restaurant in the capital with a few friends
So he doesnt have a home but can open a restaurant in lux city with some friends…
The whole story has jumps like these, its fishy…. I dont think it is the whole truth.
Why do they put “refugees” in the title when that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with their situation?
Sure, that might be the reason the landlord wants them out, but we don’t know that, there could be other reasons.
At the end of the day they lost their jobs and have trouble finding a new appartment. This happens all the time. Other families without a refugee status are in the exact same situation but I guess that doesn’t make for such a good story. They should get the same help everyone else gets, but I get the feeling they/the author uses their refugee background to get some extra sympathy points.
After 5 years in Luxembourg, dude suddenly finds that renting a 3 bedrooms home is expensive.
Well
it looks like all the people dont know the new law…
Wow. So much lack of compassion for this man and his family. I am sure he had people backing his restaurant (giving him money). Restaurants are notoriously hard to open and keep afloat.
His story is not unusual unfortunately. It’s horrific to rent here for most people (moms that are getting divorced). It’s ridiculous that people can’t live in smaller spaces if they want to particularly if the kids are young. Ridiculous to dictate the number of bedrooms when people can’t afford it.
