problem with landlord
I would like to ask if anyone went to court with former landlord regarding rental guarantee? Is it easy for a landlord to go to court or too expensive? My situation: I moved out and the landlord ordered etat des lieux de sortie. This resulted in damages of nearly 1,400 EUR. I was stupid enough to sign etat des lieux de sortie report, the expert who did it told me that I can sign and later if I do not agree, negotiate with landlord. I know now that I should have not signed, but it too late. Now landlord demands this money. I contacted several organisations that deal with tenants rights and they told me the problem is with this paper, I should have never signed it. Now the worst case scenario is that landlord goes to court and it is up to the judge to decide. What are the chances of landlord really going to the court? I can of course try to negotiate with him, but I doubt it will lead anywhere. Did anyone have similar experience? Thanks.
Hi,
I am in a similar situation . I too signed the etat des lieux de sortie report. Could you let me know what happened in your case? Can they go to court against me?Please reply.
i had an issue with extremely smart and evil landlord. And by trial and error i have learned that here law is on the side of the landlord. Thats why most of the landlords are so abusive. If you signed or didn't sign your exit survey it makes no difference. What you could do to object is formally write within 1 month after exit survey to landlord and expert that you dont agree with the exit survey because of this and that. In this way, if you go to judge quickly he will assign a new expert to do the survey rather than accept all of landlord claims. If you could turn back the time, best thing is to choose the expert for the exit survey yourself, cause most of these experts are collaborating with the landlords very well.
