Security Deposit. Has anyone in Maastricht had problems getting it back?
Hey everyone,
My daughter recently moved out of a studio in Akerstraat 8 in Maastricht.
We are currently facing a huge issue regarding the return of security deposit, because the landlord is claiming a very large amount in service costs as a debt (nearly her entire deposit, which was equivalent to two months rent), despite the fact that she already paid a substantial monthly advance for all service costs. She left the studio in perfect condition.
I’m trying to find out whether other former tenants have experienced similar issues, particularly international students who lived in this building.
Has anyone else lived at Akerstraat 8 and had problems with their deposit, service costs or “short-stay” clauses?
Experiences with other landlords or agencies anywhere in Maastricht are also welcome, as I’m trying to understand how common these kinds of deposit/service-cost disputes are.
If you have experienced something similar, please comment below or send me a DM.
Thanks!
