Reply to comment by Sekmet19 in LPT request: how to get rid of a bad renter? by MastrovNL

Yeahh sadly we have a contract, she did some payments by bank transfer, and we have whatsapp conversations about everything. Hence why I feel kinda stuck, since the Dutch housing system is all about protecting the tenant. I guess we're going to keep pushing her and threaten with legal stuff. In the meantime, I'll be an asshole and suddenly change the wifi or accidentally turn off the water when I leave for the weekend :)

Change passwords on all wifi and streaming. Shut off anything nonessential, like cable TV. If you shut off essentials like water or electric that can be construed as illegal eviction so be wary of that. That said, take all your belongings out of common areas and move into bedroom or storage. Nothing says she can use your TV, dishes, toilet paper, dish soap, towels, couch, air freshener, etc. Remove all food and toiletries to your bedroom. Put a lock on your bedroom door.

Be careful who you rent to, and start the eviction process as soon as you are able.
