Dutch landlords discriminating against foreign students in Covid crisis: Union

International students were already having trouble with landlords taking advantage of them in the Netherlands, but this situation worsened significantly during the coronavirus crisis, student union LSVB reported based on information from its Housing Hotline. International students report that landlords are forcing them to pay full rent and utilities, even though they're not living in their accommodation at this time, refusing to let them cancel their contracts, or even threatening them, the union said on Friday. Submitted by Janene Pieters on Friday, 24 July 2020 - 09:55 https://nltimes.nl/2020/07/24/dutch-landlords-discriminating-foreign-students-covid-crisis-union
