Is something broken in your home? Notify us via the tenant portal. We are happy to repair defects quickly and properly. It is not necessary to call K&P Makelaars. When you contact us by telephone to report a repair, you will in all cases be referred to the reporting form in the Tenant Portal.
You do not have to report every repair. Some repairs are considered minor repairs, for which you are responsible. You can easily carry out these repairs yourself. Examples of minor repairs include replacing parts such as taps and shower heads. Topping up a central heating system or bleeding the heating system also falls under minor repairs.
A precise overview of which repairs fall under minor repairs can be found on the government website

If the heating or water no longer heats up properly, it is time to top up your boiler. You can check the water pressure of your boiler yourself on the display of your boiler.

In autumn or winter, you turn the heating back on after a long time. Then you sometimes hear strange, bubbling or tapping sounds. This is usually due to air bubbles in the pipe of your heating. The solution is to bleed your heating. If there is no air in your heating, your heating will heat up faster and you may use less gas. Bleeding your radiators is a piece of cake. So do this as standard every year at the start of the heating season. The video below shows how to do this easily.
Control pests
Pest control is not easy. Some types of pests are easier to combat than others. It is wise to leave the control of certain types of pests to the professionals. When it comes to pests, prevention is better than cure. Below are a few tips to prevent pests.
Tips against pests
If you want to prevent pests, keep your home clean, avoid moisture and maintain your home well. You can always call in pest control yourself if pest prevention in your home has not been successful. But first try to prevent them with these tips against pests.
To clean
You can prevent most pests in your home by keeping your home thoroughly clean. Dark, dusty corners are places where pests will nest. If something like this isn't found in your home, pests will look for a place where it is.
Get rid of dirty dishes
Pests are always looking for food to survive. Therefore, wash the dirty dishes immediately or put them in the dishwasher immediately. You will have pests in your home in no time if you leave all this on the counter.
Keep the counter clean
Make sure there are no food scraps on your countertop. Believe us, a drop or crumb is reason enough for pests to visit. Therefore, wipe your countertop regularly and then change the dishcloth for a new one every time.
Put away rubbish safely
Waste is also a food source for pests. Therefore, do not leave your waste lying around, but put it in garbage bags and close them properly. Because pests easily open bags, it is best to throw away your garbage in closed bins.
Keep food closed
Also store food in sealed containers so that pests cannot attack it. Food simply attracts pests. Don't forget your pets' food?
Seal seams and cracks
Pests get through the smallest holes and cracks in your home. So do you want to prevent pests in your home? Then make sure they don't get a chance and close all possible openings.
Keep an eye on humidity
Many types of pests like a warm, moist environment. Pests are more likely to stay away if you have good ventilation in your home and also make sure you keep the humidity in your home low.
Install insect screens
Of course, there will always be openings for pests to enter your home. You can prevent pests by installing insect screens on doors and windows. This reduces the chance that pests can enter from outside.
Keep things tidy around the house
Pests are always looking for a place to nest. Preferably in a sheltered place, where they can live undisturbed. If you ensure that you do not have such places around your home, the pests may go further.

Some apartment complexes that K&P Makelaars manages have electronic door fittings. This is a wonderful system, but the batteries need to be replaced once every two years. Fortunately, when it is time to replace the batteries, the lock will indicate this itself. When the light in the lock turns orange, it is time to replace the batteries. How you can easily do this yourself can be seen in the following video. Please note: If you do not replace the batteries in time, the lock will no longer work at some point. And you can't go in. This can cause problems, especially at weekends and in the evenings. So replace your batteries on time!
Attaching a toilet seat is actually not that difficult at all. However, there are a number of things you should take into account.
It is useful that your new toilet seat actually fits on the toilet, can be properly attached and rests neatly on the toilet. The elements that are important here: the distance between the hinge holes, the size, mounting and whether it is a model-specific or universal toilet seat.
When you have finally found the right toilet seat, you can then follow the steps in the video below to properly install the seat.
It can happen that a door handle starts to become loose over time. A loose door handle can cause irritation, but fortunately the problem is easy to solve. Often simply re-tightening is the solution. You can see how to do this in the video below.
Is your door handle loose, or is it rattling in its shell?
