But it was an empty building without damage, only a bit dirty because I didn't have a vacuum cleaner at that time.\n\n So now I am being told that I have lost my money, without knowing what they were working on the property for or how long.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n The landlord must give you the opportunity to deliver the house clean after finding out. In principle, it is unjustified and unreasonable in your case to offset the deposit with this.\n\n I advise you to inform the landlord of this in writing and to ask for the deposit back. This depends on the rental conditions and the agreements made.\n\n Please contact me directly and free of charge for consultation if desired.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55016303067485,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-35619-vorige-week-ben-ik-verhuist-en-heb-ik-een-particuliere-huurwoning-achtergelaten-bij-de-oplevering","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
