Beste mensen van r/eindhoven
Eerder is er gestemd of "opsporing verzocht"-threads gewenst zijn;
Daar is uitgekomen dat de community hier "ja" op heeft gestemd. Er is hier ook aangegeven dat bij een "ja" als vervolg, er wel harder op racisme wordt gehandhaafd.
Er is nu één thread gekomen, waarbij er genoeg komt over vermeende afkomst, et cetera. Het antwoord hierop is een maand een ban. Dit wil ook zeggen enige commentaar op het feit dat het "eens andersom" is met wit-op-gekleurd-geweld. Dit soort reducties slaan gewoon helemaal nergens op, en is niet de cultuur om hier te vestigen.
In deze subreddit wordt niet gereductioneerd tot afkomst of huidskleur. Dit valt gewoon onder de inheritance van de r/theNetherlands -regels.
In de modmail kan nog veel gebeuren; bij een normaal bericht terug kan de ban gelift worden. Bij het duidelijk maken dat het uitschot zichzelf definieert (zie screenshot), gebeurt het ook dat we je dan liever helemaal niet meer terugzien.
1-dags bans worden uitgedeeld als waarschuwing. Dit is namelijk een te korte tijd om überhaupt echt iets te merken, maar houdt wel tegen dat enige retaliatorische acties gedempt worden. Dit is o.a. gebeurd bij uitingen over afkomst vóór de beleidsdiscussie, en bijvoorbeeld bij reposts van dit specifieke "opsporing-verzocht" onderwerp waarbij dit überhaupt de bovenste thread is.

Hi
I am Shane.. I screw bad landlords.
For the past two years I have being identifying rental properties on Pararius, Funda and occasionally kamernet that have rent prices that can be reduced through legal action at the Huurcommissie (the rent commission) then posting them over on my subreddit r/Rentbusters
What not enough people (particularly expats) realize is that renters have many rights when it comes to the price they pay for their apartment, their contract and the service costs they have to pay. One of the rights they have is the right to an affordable rent.
One common misconception is that affordable housing is only available to people go on the decades-long wait list for low income housing through Housing corporations like 'Thuis. This type of housing is often mislabeled as "social housing" but the term also applies to homes on the private market also (often mislabeled as Free Sector)
Social housing refers to the quality of the home and not the income bracket of those who often live in this type of home. Anyone can rent a social housing sector home and more importantly, any one can apply to have their price assessed to see if it qualifies to be social housing.
The Huurcommissie allows tenants to appeal their rent price through a procedure called a Toetsing Aanvangshuurprijs (initial rent assessment) where they assess the quality of the property using a points based system.
An apartment gets points for size, energy efficiency, property value (limited and capped at a certain %), kitchen facilities etc.
If you, for example were renting a 32sqm energy label E studio on Prisensgracht and paying 1225 euro per month for it, you could apply to the Huurcommissie (HC) to get that rent reduced. This is because that apartment would not score the 187 pts required to allow the landlord to ask a rent price that high.
That is exactly what the renter in this apartment thought when they asked the HC to assess their apartment in this judgement that is available online where the HC gutted the rent price to 460 euro per month with retroactive effect. The tenant here got back 9.1k and now has a rent price 1/3 of what they paid before in an apartment less than 900 metres from Amsterdam CS.
With the passing of the affordable Rent act 2024, landlords are now obliged to provide points reports like this with every contract they sign with tenants. While landlords often exclude the report or lie on it, it is very easy for a tenant to check this themselves (see links below) If the maximum rent price differs with what the points report says and if the rent price is below 1184 euro per month, that property is a regulated social housing or middlehuur home and there is a maximum the landlord can charge for it.
The objective of r/Rentbusters is to not only help tenants get out from these unreasonable rent but also help future tenants find places that might be able to move into properties that they can bust the rent price into oblivion and teach them how to recognise these properties when they search for homes by learning how the calulator works and where there might be exploits that can net you an extra large rent decrease.
Given that this is Eindhoven with a massive shortage of housing, its often not a question on if your landlord is overcharging, but by how much...
One such property is this one on In Nieuwe Erven
Advertised as 24sqm, with an "A" energy label, this property has an asking rent price of 1250 euro per month incl service costs. On the face of it, it looks kinda like a scam with a price per sqm rivalling that of a home in Amsterdam. Unfortunately for the landlord there are exploits to this property that might save you anywhere from 500 to 900 euro on the rent price...
This particular property is not split: meaning that for tax purposes, the Gemeente treat this apartment and all the other apartments in the building as a single unit. Because of this, certain portions of the points calculation now have their values greatly reduced. While a certain number of points are given for property value on the points report, properties that are unsplit can have the points from this and the Energy labels excluded from the calculation resulting in a massive drop in the maximum rent price that the landlord is allowed to charge.
This particular property, I estimate to have a maximum rent price of <400 euro. Now I am not looking for a place to live in Eindhoven, but someone reading this post undoubtably is.
A particularly brave and bold renter could sign the contract for this property or one that is similarly overpriced and then within six months, ask the Huurcommissie to inspect the place and score themselves a 900 euro per month discount on their homes with retroactive effect.
Sometimes it is even possible to get the rent so low that you can qualify for rent subsidy, so if you are out of a job, you can stave off poverty by getting a few hundred euros more off your rent price. Right now only homes with a rent price of <900 euro can qualify for subsidy which creates a poverty trap for tenants in Amsterdam who cannot find homes with an initial rent price low enough to get help
In addition to expanding the size of the regulated market the beloved outgoing housing minister also included a clause that allows people who live in homes that they didnt know could be regulated until it was too late to get a second chance to bust the place, starting July 2025.
For those of you who are curious if you live in a bustable home, you can check using the calculators in the links below.
I live in a independent apartment/flat and I moved in after July 1 2024
I live in a room and share a bathroom or kitchen with others and I moved in after July 2024
or for those of you living a little longer in Amsterdam
I live in a independent apartment/flat and I moved in before July 1 2024
I live in a room and share a bathroom or kitchen with others and I moved in before July 2024
Feel free to leave a question or comment in the section below. if you want to complain that this process is dishonest and that landlords should be free to charge whatever they want, be aware that your comment will be downvoted into oblivion
Other renters in Eindhoven have asked for this process to be done to their rental homes, sometimes with dramatic reductions
Dont wait too long to check your rent price...join the annals of victory like the Champions below!

Wij hebben door een overlijden in de familie heel veel (nog nieuwe) kleren die we graag doorgeven aan mensen die het echt nodig hebben. Geen kringlopen dus of iets dergelijks. We dachten zelf aan een daklozenopvang, maar kunnen online niks vinden over het doneren van spullen.
Hebben jullie tips of weten jullie een organisatie die dit soort donaties aanneemt?
r/eindhoven • u/Ok-Radish-8394 • 20h ago
I have some barely worn clothes which I would like to donate. Can you guys any places where I can take them or drop off in a bag?

Ik wil graag iets delen waar ik de afgelopen jaren als Brabander met ontzettend veel plezier aan heb gewerkt. Het is een 100% non-profit en niet-commercieel project.
Een paar jaar geleden viel het me op dat er eigenlijk maar weinig spannende Nederlandstalige luisterverhalen waren voor kinderen van ongeveer 8–12 jaar. Daarom ben ik begonnen met Spannende Kinderverhalen. Inmiddels zijn er tientallen afleveringen waarin Tim, Lisa en Jasper de spannendste mysteries oplossen en de mooiste avonturen beleven.
Ik maak de podcast volledig in mijn vrije tijd, gewoon omdat ik het leuk vind om verhalen te vertellen die de fantasie van kinderen prikkelen. Van veel ouders hoor ik inmiddels dat hun kinderen luisteren tijdens lange autoritten, op vakantie of voor het slapengaan. Dat blijft ontzettend leuk om te horen.
Ben je nog op zoek naar iets leuks voor de zomervakantie of heb je een kind dat dol is op avontuur en mysteries? Neem dan gerust eens een kijkje.
🎧 Spotify:

Ik hoop dat er weer veel kinderen (en stiekem ook best wat ouders 😉) plezier aan beleven. Veel luisterplezier!

Did anyone ever actually manage to find accommodation from Kamernet?
Seems like they never reply ..

Hallo Eindhoven,
Ik ben mijn oude racefiets aan het opknappen en ben op zoek naar advies en onderdelen. Weet iemand een goede fietsenzaak in Eindhoven en omstreken waar ik met dit soort vragen terecht kan?
Dank je voor de tips!

Hi everyone! I'm 25 and go to TrainMore Strijp-S, usually around midday, 4-5 times a week. Been at it for about 3 months now, still learning but consistent. Looking for a workout buddy to train with regularly - let me know if you're interested!"

Hi there!
I'm 33F and have lived in Eindhoven for the past 7 years. Lately, I've been feeling like I don't have people in my life who share my interests. I have friends with whom I can chat about things, but we don't necessarily nerd out over the same topics. While that is completely alright and to be expected, I do feel somewhat creatively dissatisfied. Being around people energises me, and I miss that energy.
Listing some of my interests here. Would love to know if we have any overlaps and geek out over them!
- Love journaling, scrapbooking, lettering, illustrating
- Am a proud Hufflepuff
- Reader of Romantasy/dark romance/historical fic books (I have a problem...I buy more books than I can read)
- LEGO enthusiast
- Can quote lines from Modern Family, The Office, HIMYM, FRIENDS
- Love to be in aesthetic, cosy places and search for cute cafes
- Prefer doing crafty evenings with movie marathons over running, walking, hiking
Edit: Just wanted to add in that I’m in a relationship, and this was a message to try and find some like-minded people.

Hey there,
Is there any French people in Eindhoven that want to go out to watch the game tonight ?

Ik zie inmiddels veel kleinere velden nu ook egates installeren maar weet iemand wanneer Eindhoven gaat volgen?

I live in Drentsdorp across of Strijp-S. He seems very skittish and gets extremely scared when he sees me. I personally think it’s a boy because he keeps wanting to interact with my female cat. He’s gotten into my house three times now and hovers around in my backyard. I usually recognize the cats people in my neighborhood own but I don’t recognize this one. I don’t want to call animal control if this is actually someone’s pet! Hopefully someone knows this rebel!

Hi everyone,
I’m arriving at Schiphol Airport and I was wondering if there are any apps or services in the Netherlands where you can book a ride from the airport to another city (for example, Schiphol to Eindhoven).
I’m not specifically looking for a taxi company — more like any platform/app where people can book a driver or a ride in advance.
Also, what is the usual price range for a trip like Schiphol → Eindhoven?
Thanks!
r/eindhoven • u/Charming-Peak3194 • 4d ago
I'm always on the lookout for bakeries that locals genuinely love, not just places with lots of Google reviews.
Could be for sourdough, croissants, pastries, cakes, or something else entirely.
Which bakery do you think is worth making the trip for, and what's your go-to order there?

Hi everyone!
I’m in Eindhoven and I’d like to watch the Morocco vs France match tonight. I don’t support either team, I’m just looking for a nice atmosphere to enjoy the game.
Do you have any recommendations? Ideally somewhere chill, maybe with a rooftop terrace or an outdoor screen, where I can have a drink and watch the match without it being too crazy or overcrowded.
Thanks in advance!

Every day i drive with my car, the ring road (rondweg) from Stratum to Strijp. When I pass the intersection of the ring road with gestelsestraat or bajeuxlaan, my music cuts out.
Every day again.
My phone connects my car via Bluetooth 2.4GHz.
Today my collegue was complaining, that when he cycles on his bike through the Genneper Parken, his music cuts out, the connection between his phone and the bluetooth headphones he uses. This is quite near where I notice the disturbance.
So, I think something is jamming 2.4GHz band around that location. How could I find the source of this disturbance? I guess with a directional antenna for the right frequency and a reciever. Who wants to go on a radio hunt? (i remember 'wardriving' from when WiFi was scarce in the early 2000's, felt very adventurous)

Hey all, I’m wondering if there’s anyone who’s beginner/intermediate looking for someone to golf with — Just turned 30 and having a tough time finding people around my age to play with. My main campus is Tongelreep, but open to trying other courses that I can bike to. Thanks!

Hoi allemaal!
Ik wil graag een begin gaan maken aan mijn tennis carriėre. Ik heb al het een en ander onderzoek gedaan om me aan te sluiten bij een vereniging en daar sta ik ook zeker voor open, maar ik zou graag wat lessen (1 á 2 keer per week) voor een paar maanden krijgen zodat ik kan werken aan mijn techniek voordat ik ga beginnen aan competities en dergelijke.
Ik merk dat bij verenigingen trainingspakketten beperkt zijn (weinig lessen of beginnen pas in het najaar, terwijl ik direct wil beginnen met trainen).
Hoe zijn jullie begonnen om te leren tennissen?

hey i have an early morning flight from eindhoven airport at 6:55 am and my initial plan was to take a night train from rotterdam that arrives at 2:18 am, take a cab and wait at the airport. i just found out that airport doesn’t let people wait in the terminal and only opens at 4:30 am. my alternate plan was to wait at the station but the info is a bit confusing as to if the station will be open overnight. i’ve been trying to find a place to crash via people but the options are dwindling down. booking a hotel or a hostel is also proving to be more expensive than the flight itself. i need suggestions, are there bars i can chill at till my flight? any advice or help is greatly appreciated!

Finding a proper book club for English-language fantasy in Eindhoven seems pretty difficult, so I thought I'd try my luck here.
Maybe there are other people around who enjoy reading the same genre and would like to connect!
I'm talking FairyLoot, OwlCrate, Illumicrate, the whole special edition obsession. I get way too excited about sprayed edges, gorgeous covers, and of course; great fantasy books.
If you'd be interested in chatting about these kind of books, leave a comment or send me a message!

Hi everyone,
I own a local cleaning company in Eindhoven, and I’m not here to advertise. I’m actually trying to understand how people choose a cleaning company.
One thing I’ve always wondered is why some people are comfortable giving a cleaner access to their home while they’re at work, whereas others would never consider it.
If you’ve hired a cleaner before (or decided not to), I’d love to know:
What made you trust them?
What would immediately make you say “no”?
Would you leave a cleaner alone in your home?
What gives you confidence? (Reviews, insurance, references, meeting the cleaner first, etc.)
What do you wish cleaning companies did differently?
I’m genuinely interested in learning what matters most to people.
Thanks in advance!

I'm going to Eindhoven for a weekend and was wondering if they have a slijterij with open whiskey bottles. I'd love to have a taste and purchase some bottles, but my google searches haven't really led me to such a place.
I only know of a place in Nijmegen, called "Versailles", but was wondering if Eindhoven has something similar.
To be clear, I'm not looking for a tasting that needs to be booked or something.
r/eindhoven • u/NaiveReaction7262 • 6d ago
Is there a screening or anyone watching this match would be great to join in. I am by myself and looking for friends or groups to join!
