painting of the kitchen

guslThe noise isn't as annoying as it was last week, but they have finally made it impossible for us to eat during the day. All kitchens in the building are on the same situation. They also attempted to bribe us with movie tickets (which I didn't find out about until just now), and are terrible at giving us advanced warning. Not only that, but they have no respect for their own schedule. This building is officially a construction site, and the only rules are those given by the foreman.
We are demanding a reduction of the rent, and for the first time, I think we can confidently say "WE HAVE A CASE!".
Also, thanks to Steunpunt Wonen, I know that there are two legal-invalid clauses on my contract (one of which means I can leave with just a one-month notice), and that I have the right to outright *REFUSE* their "offer" to paint my room.
De Key abused our rights by persuading us that we didn't have a choice. Fortunately, I did my research. You might ask why they don't simply do this on the summer when the buildings are temporarily (more) empty, and I can only think of one explanation: the painters are cheaper now, since there is a greater demand for them in the summer.
... and our inconvenience is free, or so they thought.
Fucking insensitive corporations.
