New tenant issues-What the landlord/syndic can do?

Let's be serious.

Your tenants have asked to the Judge a "résolution du bail", which means to be able to break the lease without having to pay any indemnity.

You desperately want them to be evicted.

So why not sit together and sign a document confirming both parties agree to break the lease without having to pay any indemnity?

Giving your health problems, you can avoid to have to support a legal procedure, that can takes months before to get any decision from the Judge. Moreover, you don't know the Belgian laws on renting (Main Residence) and you are not fluent nor in French nor in Dutch.

+ Given the fact that your case is extremely weak and that Belgian laws protect extremely well tenants who have a 9 years contract for main residence purpose, I would avoid by any means to have to go to Court!!

Folks,

I certainly won't believe this. I have been living with them and I know who they are.

# Both are 25 years old, , living together but  one designated as "sans profession" and the other "vendeur et demostrateur en magasins". male and female,  registered as "celibataire". Learnt all this only when I got a copy of their certificate de residence this week.

# When they met, being a newbie, I just asked for a copy of id card, which dutifully did so copying thier creditcard size e-id card. They introduced themselves as studying, law etc. Eventually they have referred temselves as academicians. I didn't even as for a payslip. Just got folled seeing parents behind, didn't feel the need to ask as they were students. I am sure a stupid moron

#  While payment was not a problem so far, they were Sitting in teh apartment 7 days a week, nothing do much, mostly watching TV, not visiting the parents etc.Parents only came to see the apartment the day they have signed the contract

# Their whole attire changed the moment they have signed the contract.
They made me run more than a month to sign the eat de lieux.
#  Were always behind the technicians, asking how old the equipment is, intention where(*) they could catch me nicely,

.#.... or asking electricians is it safe to live in an apartment which has not been certified  for compliance etc. On the other end, were carrying a 3KW electric heater everywhere around, from garage while doing gymnastics to bedroom and all. Knowning that this budiling is from 70s, and not rated for a elctrcial heater we still had time to do electcical safety compliance certifciate.

# With respect to heating, They knew how to exploit the system and how to make ISTA to read a  0 consumption on calrorimetrs by not turning on heaterr heaters at all, rather depend on electrical heating and candlelights. They knew Mazhout is more expensive in central heating and play to keep thier common charges down.

# They also knew water is divided based on quotite part so were very generous with at least two baths a day, not sure what the others guests/girls were doing, meticulous car washes every month etc...

End of the day, we have lost serenity, tranquility and privacy of our "maison de maitre" apartment. While they were "enjoying the property" , playing Ping Pong in the garage or Table football in the first floor, we were stuck and sandwiched in between in ground floor, feeling strangers ourselves.

# There were weekend parties and yearend parties which went upto 2AM.
Parties always will be done with Table FootBall late night but they have stopped by 10 PM.

# They reported problem this Monday, confirmed this wednesday night when will they allow a technician, but already went for conillation, before doing so, threatening they will ask me indemnity for not having hot water. The summary was, it was a technical/mechanical issue, not aging, to covered by tenant. Once they specified times for access, issue was fixed with in 24 hours.

So, do you want me to believe them they will depart shaking hands if I waive of indemnity? They would have brought stories like, gas smell, heating didn't work for 8 months etc. They might get money from me, make me waive off indemnity , let them chose when they want to leave etc.. If nothing works to their favor, they would have abandonded the "concillage". If I couldn't get to meet them in teh last 4 months to address some issues for harmonious living, how could I expect them to come to an amicable settlement?

I tried meeting them in person. tried this 6 times so far.Last invite was to  bring there parents. They deemed it unnecessary.

# By the way, this is not the first time, they are copying many barristers/ lawyers from fromBrussels  while sending emails to me, threateing they will engage advocate, go to concilage, ask for indemnity etc.

So folks, I believe I tried limiting the damage to maximum 6 months.
I will try going concillage and see what they are willing to offer.

And I forgot the barbeque which they have started on the first good spells in March in our private garden, as they have access since they have rented the garage, although used garage for storage and setting up gymnastics and bring friends to play.

Question:

Didn't do so yet, as it was not strong. But have the necessity, as I am out country whole leaving, leaving behind kids/family here.

Should I file the long pending police comaplinat today, as I am worried of ther reaction when they receive thier notice tomorrow?

Do we need to confirm? 

Don't be so rude to yourself... You're just learning the hard way...

With all our support 

Since how long are they in your flat?

After 1 year, they will probably get a huge adjustment bill since in Belgium, electrical heating is much more expensive than any other energy.

I do hope they have private electricity meters at least...
