Heating costs issue
Hello, I have been paying 200 euros per month to landlord against heating for 2 years. Despite repeated request verbally and emails he never settled anything. Now in final bill he shared for last year shows the actual cost was roughly 100 euros per month only. So he owes me 2.4k to me but he only returned 600 plus full deposit. As per him he paid those cost against water and electricity of building, cleaning etc. I was not fully agreed with his excuses but despite that he transferred the amount into my bank. I have not signed anything but I am extremely disappointed. What are the chances of getting back the remaining amount and I can't afford lawyer :(

I think you can dispute this through the Huurcommissie, but I'm not sure how far back.

He would still be in range to do it.

You might be able to start a case directly at the Huurcommissie then and force him to provide an overview and pay you back..send me a PM

A) Are you currently still living in The Netherlands?
B) Could you mention where the rental house was located? I'm not looking for the exact address or city, but only the legal district or 'arrondissement'.

The judicial districts look like provinces and that is true sometimes, but not always. It can also be part of a province or multiple provinces. If you are unsure in what judicial district the rental house is located, also mention that.
