Unfortunately we cannot help you with disputes with your neighbors. However, we can help you submit complains or file reports over discriminatory statements, racial profiling, or disproportionate use of force by law enforcement. Is this the case? If yes, please notify us.
Around 300 municipalities in the Netherland provide the opportunity to apply for free neighborhood mediation. At https://www.problemenmetjeburen.nl/ you can type in your ZIP code and see if mediation is available where you live. This mediation is free of charge.
If you were not able to resolve the conflict through neighborhood mediation, you can reach out to your region’s legal help desk as an alternative. The help desk will put you in contact with a legal professional for advice on your specific predicament. Free of charge.
Does the situation with your neighbors remain unpleasant? Consider filing a complaint at your housing association. We advise you to do this together with other residents, as this will generally result in action being taken more swiftly.
If all of your efforts have not helped, the situation is out of control and there are criminal offenses such as threats, file a police report. Police will only act if neighborhood mediation has not helped and if offenses have been committed. Usually, a local officer will come to your house. Police acts more quickly if there are multiple reports, so do involve your other neighbors! You can make an appointment to file a police report by calling 0900-8844.
