Amsterdam: This one is sus - 2650/month 68sqm with label B - Scores around 188pts but there is a mismatch between the size of apartment on the ad and that on the label (76sqm). Label inspectors tweak sqm on energy performance calcs to give landlord better labels for $$$.

Its a very difficult to prove at the Huurcommissie. How they measure space for the Huurcommissie is different than how they measure space for energy labels. Often deadspace (anything under a ceiling with < 1.5m of headroom is excluded on HC measurements but kosher on EL measurements). I dont see any inclined ceilings that would explain 8sqm difference. The hallway might be a factor (often excluded on HC measurements due to being a traffic area but included on EL measurements).

Again, its just sus...I cannot tell for sure that the label is crooked but given it is a monument with no heat pump or solar panels, its weird they would get a label so good and so close to the border between a B and C.

To Dutch people living in London: Traveling from NL to London on the Eurostar with empty suitcases to buy as much cheap breakfast cereal as I can. Want any Dutch food brought over?

Edit: Date confirmed - Tuesday 15th Sept between 1200 (arrival) and 1600 (departure).

Mods: I am not accepting any payment for this outside of the cost to purchase the food item in NL. I posted the same on the dutch subreddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Netherlands/comments/1wakbj6/update_to_the_weetabix_post_a_few_months_ago/ ) so I am not violating Rule 8.

I have an interrail pass that is still good for a day and my goal is to go to London, buy as much weetabix/cerals as I can and return within the day. I will bring a 60L backpack and a large suitcase and a little shoulder bag. These will be empty on the trip to London and so I have room to carry stuff to london - a lot of stuff.

I am sympathetic to living abroad and missing stuff from home. For me its the breakfast cereals. Dutch Breakfasts cereals are overpriced dry cardboard dipped in UHT milk (they sometimes have sandwiches for breakfast - they're weird, no offense)

Being the noble and generous soul that I am, I am gonna offer to bring stuff from NL for free (aside from the actual cost of purchasing the item) to the UK for anyone here who requests it, if it can fit in easily into my suitcases. There would be restrictions though.

1: I am not transporting meat/dairy because they are prohibited to transport between the states ( https://www.gov.uk/bringing-food-into-great-britain/meat-dairy-fish-animal-products ). So no cheese.

2: No packages that a man with gang tattoos will collect from me outside the station. If you want to send something to your kid who just moved to London for study that they accidently left behind, I might be able to help.

3: Priority given to food goods that you cannot get in the UK (cheaply). If you want something in bulk, message me with the amount.

4: Pickup will have to be near St. Pancras Station - I have limited time in the UK and will be returning to NL within hours of arriving.

5: If the food items can be purchased at Jumbo, Plus, Albert Heijn, all the better. If you want something, please send the URL of the product and how many you want.

6: No excise goods - alcohol, tobacco etc. No items above 135 euro. I have total discretion to refuse to move something if I think its gonna run the ire of customs.

The exact date of arrival will be September 15. I will be there at 12 and leave at 4.

Update to the Weetabix post a few months ago: Going to London in a few weeks with empty suitcases - Want anything?

A few months ago I wrote a post highly critical about the prices in Dutch supermarkets for Weetabix and the poor range of other breakfast cereals offered here.

I have an interrail pass that is still good for a day and my goal is to London, buy as much weetabix as I can and return within the day. I will bring a 60L backpack and a large suitcase and a little shoulder bag.

Being the noble and generous soul that I am, I am gonna offer to bring stuff for free (aside from the actual cost of purchasing the item) from the UK for anyone here who requests it, if it can fit in easily into my suitcases. There would be restrictions though

1: I am not transporting meat/dairy/fish because they are prohibited in the EU.

2: No items that I cannot buy in a shop within walking distance of St. Pancras station.

3: No packages that a man with gang tattoos will give me outside the station

4: Priority given to small food goods that you cannot get here (cheaply)

Return route will be via Breda and then along the NS Zwolle line to Arnhem in case you want to pick it up from the station when I am on my way home.

I visit many dutch cities every month for work (except Groningen) and I go to Amsterdam often so if you dont mind waiting.

First-come, first served. Please list the item and where I can get. Photo if possible or a link to the product on the shops website. Leave a comment below or DM me

After viewing the horror stories on this subreddit, on BPWs and speaking to hard-pressed tenants, its a miracle that this sad story is rare: Landlord evicts tenant, allegedly solicits sex from her to pay off disputed arrears and tenant stabs landlord in rage.
