So… this you should be aware, because it’s different: When renting a house in The Netherlands you can be renting a house with no furniture… and no floor!
That's right! Maybe it’s because of the carpets, I don’t really know, but that’s how they do it! You are supposed to pick a floor and have someone to lay it. When you move out you can try to sell it to the next tenant, but if you are not that lucky you will have to remove the floor! It’s not as easy as you would think! We tried to do it ourselves (to help the neighbour) but it was so well glued in all the area so we were exhausted after removing 50 cm!
Note: It turns out there are two machines – one that will rip up the floor and another to remove all the glue… But don’t be deluded - the floor that you paid for at the beginning will be completely ruined.
After this we decided to only have a floor when we have our own house!
Olá Magali! Que hábito estranho que os holandeses têm com o chão :S Desejo-te as maiores felicidades na tua grande aventura! een goede dag :D
