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

Took ovr a professional syndic, as they were charging 250 euro per month
shared between three apartments, just to do the accounting. In a way, monthly syndic cost alone was 83 euro. So, we got of teh rid of teh sysndic.

# And from last year experience, I have total cost for heating to ISTA and they divided it simply based on quotite part returned back with report per apartment/caloriment.

Didn't know the practice on 25%/65%. Will enforce this with ISTA coming year.

With respect to rent, it is a 82 m2 apartment, two bedrooms, one small store room, one balcony, a living plus a cellar of 7 m2 and a garage of 20 m2 witha private access o garage through backgarden from street. In effect, close to 110 m2 altogether.

This 82m2 surface area also includes staircase to firstfloor and II floor.
In efefct living area in the rented apartment could be 72 m2 plus a cellar(7sqm) and a garage.

We will charged 825 euro as rent(includes garage) and 85 euro as provisional charges.(not fixed). Somebody can what should be the right rent for the description?

-private consumption of electricity within the apartment is occupier's cost
-private consumption of gas within apartment is on occupier
-central heating shared on quotite part but will start enforcing 25%/65%
-Water simply based on quotite part for thirty years , as it was single family house, we need to have add another three passage water meters and try to compute consumption from say, 5 water meters. Strangely, WE have one mter from Hydobru and two passage meters split across three apartment that actual consumption per apartment can't be done now.
.
The tenants stayed here since September. Issue started slowly after three months of arrival.

As suggested, will NOT go to police. Will see what they offer in conciliation.
I don't want indemnity. They sooner they leave, the better for me.
And I get back my notice.

I have learnt a lesson.

# No more renting of garage as we share common space & back garden between two garages

# Only one year fixed, See how they behave. have something to hold.

# Put all those conditions which may affect character of the building into the contract (Nots sure if this is the right thing) 

They said they moved froma studio. They have a dog and load of things which would need a bug house. Not sure how they has all these stuff and a personal  gym with at least 4 equipments, (one heavy equipment installed close to PVC sanitary pipe from WC by the tenant  ,   big wooden garden table plus chairs, PingPong table, Table FootBall, Two bicycles, Barbeque etc. I still may need to live with this if they want to bring this all out to back-garden for summer.

Well said Grmphh.. And thanks a lot Panchito!!!!

Of course, the whole building belongs to a single owner; so you are not in a "copropriété" having an official "acte de base".
By the way, did you apply to get an official permit to divide your "Maison de Maître" into separate apartments?

Panchito,

The whole building doesn't belong to a single owner. 81% to a single owner and with two apartments and  19% to another one whoew is on the attic.

There is an official act de base done way back in 70s, much to the advantage of a single family I suppose.

Looks like they tried to build a "maison de maitre" and three years later decided to split it, perhaps between siblings?

Could somebody give some (IPI certified) reference Syndics in WSP who charge 15 euro per month per apartment?

Generally speaking, it is extremely difficult to find a professional Syndic (IPI certified) who accepts to take a "copropriété" made of less than 20 apartments.

Small "copropriétés" are not enough profitable for professional Syndics...

Yes, it is!

But I am extremely surprised that "students" have taken such an apartment in WSP.

For the apartment I am renting out in WSP, I have never had Belgian tenants. Belgian candidates who can spend more than 800€/month, become owners (of course not in WSP).

Also no "students" or unemployed people ...

My tenants have always been wealthy expats working for European HQ of American (or other) companies (like Bank of New York Mellon, Cisco, Toyota etc...)

Never Belgian students! They rent "kots". Unemployed people in WSP can apply to get a social home.

Is the rent paid by their parents? How old are they?

I don't want to be a syndic. Can give it to somebody if I foind a cheaper, affordable syndic.

Didn't way to pay 250 euro per month for three paartments, just to do the accounting.

I belive each parent pays 4000 euro to each kid I suppose.
When they were negotiating the contract, I saw the girl dad asking both what do they plan for dealing with common charges. I saw the boy calling his mom, get her approval, confirmed he will take care of that. I assume his mother agreed to pay this part.

Both of them have a small fancy car each. Rent and provisional charges were not a problem so far yet.Still worried when they would settle the annual adjustment.

Both are 25 years old.
