As an Amsterdam student, you will be dealing with the law in various ways during your studies. Think, for example, about renting a room. During your studies you might also run into situations where you think you actually deserve different treatment, for instance when it comes to a Binding Study Advice (BSA/BAS) or the size of your tuition fees. Of course, you hope that everything goes smoothly, but what do you do if it doesn’t?
With many legal questions and problems, you can turn to ASVA’s Legal Desk. Enthusiastic law students work here, ready to help fellow students with their legal problems. Areas of law that ASVA can help you with include tenancy law and education law (for hbo and wo) (coming soon). The Legal Desk also helps you find the right place to go within your educational institution if you are struggling with something or if you disagree with the course of events within the education you are following.
Not sure if we can help with your problem? Or don’t know where to go? If it is not within our area of expertise we will refer you.
Any questions?
First take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions under ‘Tenancy law’ and ‘Education law hbo and wo’. Maybe your question is listed there. If not, please contact the Legal Desk. To ask a question, you can fill in the form below. Please note: do you have an urgent question about tenancy law, for example because you are about to be evicted from your house? Then we advise you to contact !WOON. This is an organisation for tenants in Amsterdam, which has legal consulting hours where you can ask questions. They have more capacity than we do and can probably help you faster.
Tip: Due to the busy schedule, we give priority to members, so if you want to be helped faster, become a member!
