practical questions Where can I find nice, affordable artwork in The Hague?

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently moved to Den Haag and was wondering where you guys go to buy nice artwork for your home.

I've checked out quite a few kringloop stores, but most of the art I've found so far has been hand-drawn or lower-quality prints. I've also been browsing Marktplaats, but I'm not really sure what keywords to search for to find good pieces.

I'm open to prints as well, as long as they're good quality. My budget is up to €400, and I'm mainly looking for something nice to hang in my living room.

Any recommendations for shops, galleries, secondhand stores, or even specific search terms to use on Marktplaats would be much appreciated!

Thanks! :)

things to do in The Hague Teamuitje?

Mijn team wilt dit jaar een uitje doen met z'n allen, maar we komen voornamelijk op de standaard dingen zoals bowlen 😅

Weet iemand leuke teamuitjes in Den Haag?

We zijn een team van 9 mensen en er zijn 2 collega's die niet heel goed Nederlands spreken, dus een echte escaperoom in het Nederlands is denk ik te lastig.

practical questions Help with finding contractor for a few renovations

5 Upvotes

Hi!

I would like to do some renovations in my flat, namely taking down a wall and install a new kitchen, remodel a small toilet.
My toxic trait is thinking I could do it on my own, but maybe that’s not the best choice.

Do you recommend any good contractor?

Thank you!

housing Need advice

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice from anyone familiar with Dutch rental law, especially tenancy lawyers or people who have dealt with a similar situation.

Because finding housing in The Netherlands has been so difficult, I’m working with a rental agency that helps me find accommodation. Under their usual arrangement, if they find a property for me and I sign the rental contract, I have to pay them a fee equivalent to one month’s rent.

Recently, I viewed a studio and submitted a signed interest form and rental proposal through an agency. Before submitting it, I received a document stating that if the landlord accepted the offer, it would become legally binding and withdrawing could result in a penalty of 1–3 months’ rent.

The landlord accepted the proposal. However, I haven’t signed the actual rental contract. I have since received another accommodation offer that suits my situation better. When I asked about withdrawing, the agency told me I would have to pay its agency fee plus one month’s rent as a cancellation penalty.

My questions are:

  • Can a rental proposal become legally binding before the formal rental contract is signed?
  • Is a cancellation penalty of this kind enforceable in the Netherlands?
  • Can the agency charge its usual one-month rental fee even though I haven’t signed the rental contract, as well as an additional month’s rent as a penalty?

I would really appreciate any reliable advice

Thank you in advance

I’ve been living in The Hague for the last 3 month and noticed that every 2-3 weeks the escalators at Spui tram station facing the Library and the Spui Campus are always malfunctioning. Then a week or so comes, they work again, but then they work for a few weeks and brake again. Can someone explain this pattern, I’m really curious lmao

There’s a Serbian embassy and I was hoping if anyone is passing by can take a picture if there are people waiting outside-it’s election day and we’re collecting pictures from diaspora queues to vote and demolish regime! No need to show faces or anything close by, this request is not to put anyone in danger or problem, just a collection of pictures of the most important elections for Serbia in the last 80 years 🙏🏼

Dankjewel

Met een maat van me ga ik binnenkort een weekendje Den haag doen. Wat is een leuke plek om mensen van onze leeftijd te ontmoeten (begin 30), zonder dat je meteen in een dampende kroeg of club staat.

I know, beetje random vraag, maar misschien zijn er mensen met leuke ideeën?
