HI everyone, I've been living for a few years renting an apartment in The Hague. I finally decided to buy a house and to quit my rent for which I sent a letter once month earlier.
The problem I have is that I'm behind by 2 months of rent. So after receiving the letter, I went from friend to enemy for the makelaar company. The contract is valid until the end of May, so I said the company I was going to pay 1 of those 2 rents by the end of May as soon as I get payed. They have answered in the worst possible way, even saying they have forwarded "my case" to a bailiff. This situation is rather frustrating for me because I truly made my best during all these years, and I'm just behind by a couple of months only. Besides, it's not my intention not to pay. I'm actually a bit concerned they will tray to retain my security deposit by all means (I had similar experiences in the past).
So my question is, is there a chance they may be bluffing with the bailiff? How this whole bailiff thing works (does the makelaar has to incur some costs)? Any information about this is helpful at this point.
