| Where: | Academy Building, Broerstraat 5, Groningen |
Tenant and landlord, not always a happy marriage. More than once, disputes arise that require the intervention of judges. What are the rights of a student in a room or a studio tenant? Find out at the Public Law Academy on the judicial side of housing on 21 June in the Geertsema Room of the Academy Building.
During the Public Justice for Jurisprudence on 21 June, we will discuss the rental situation in Groningen. Has it improved or worsened? And what could we do about it? Willem Groeneveld, journalist and editor-in-chief of city blog Sikkom, will talk about his experiences and vision of the housing situation in the student city. Ellen Haan, registrar at the District Court of Northern Netherlands, will give an insight into the cases between tenants and landlords that she has seen in practice.
When all rights for tenants go overboard, exploitation of people can occur. Sierd Eijzenga, public prosecutor, has human trafficking in his portfolio and will explain in broad terms housing in the criminal environment. He will try to take you into these worlds and outline that sometimes things can be very wrong behind the front door at the neighbors.
The evening will be accompanied by Sander Dekker, court and justice reporter for Dagblad van het Noorden.
