Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.
I rent a house from 'Public Housing,' Public Housing is a Public housing is a form of Housing tenure in which the property is owned by a government authority, which may be central or local. Social housing is an Umbrella term referring to rental housing which may be owned and managed by the state, by non-profit organizations, or by a combination of the two, usually with the aim of providing afforable housing. The Dutch housing policy is based on a concept of universal access to affordable housing for all and the prevention of segregation. Aswell the rent for the cheaper rental homes In Holland is kept low through governmental oversight and regulation. These types of homes are known as sociale huurwoningen. Thank you Wikipedia!
So, I went trough my renting papers this morning and I bounced a few times on several questions. A few days ago I had a call from Humanitas, they asked me that I really need to inform for a gas & electric-company, cause it's needed. I answered them that I already have gas, elektra and water, Social housing said it wasn't needed, cause everything is shared in my flat, or how you call it. Everyone gets water, everyone has electricity and gas. But, the major tap or major boiler room, or how you call such, is in one central place, owned by the Social housing. It's all part of the services, where I have to pay for aswell. (Oh my english, lol)
Several months ago I was struggling with this subject too, do I need to get in touch with a gas & electric-company plus a water-company yes or no? It was so confussing, 'Social housing said no when I visited them. The gas, electric plus the water is all aranged by the Social housing. My counselor from Humanitas kept finding it weird. To ask for gas and electric I will have to write down the meters from the smart meter. The smart meter is mostly in the boiler room, in my house the boiler room is a boiler closet, lol. It's small but you can see right away what you need or what you want.
BUT my boiler-closet didn't have a smart meter, so, I can't inform the gas & elektra-company about my meter levels. Without the meter levels they can't do anything. Include that the 'Social housing' said I don't need to ask for gas and Elektra, I just letted it be. Ofcource... I went there twice to ask for it, and twice I get the same answer, I don't need it. So, a few days ago Humanitas called, and said that it was needed, cause another resident from Humanitas recently is living in the same flat as I live. And he had to ask for gas, elektra and water aswell. Sigh! So confussing! Strange though, cause on one of the papers where I went trough was written that I had to ask for gas, electra and water. It was important to do that two weeks before I get the keys for my new house, otherwise I would have no gas, elektra and water.
Well, I have water, and I have gas and elektra, lol And I never asked for it. You still there? LOL! I will go this comming Wednesday to the Social housing to ask what is needed and what is not needed, I hope I will get some good and final answers. I hope I'm not to late if they will inform me that I need to ask for gas, water and elektra. It's such a maze. And I hope my English explaining was well, lol. Thank you Wikipedia and thank you Google translate! This Sunday was sure okay, I went half trough my administration, (yay!) Had a marvelous shower, (scrub, scrub! and relaxed most of the day..... Yes, in comfy pants! Tomorrow will be my first Monday that I work a whole day, it will be a busy day. Working from 7:30 am till 4:30 pm, then at 6:00 pm the free dinner.
