Residents’ participation and residents’ committee

DUWO values residents’ participation. Therefore, we stay in close contact with our tenants. For example, we enter into agreements with tenants’ organisations and regularly consult with the residents’ committee of a student complex. In the larger student complexes, we stay in touch with nestors and group representatives. In short, plenty of opportunities for residents’ participation! Therefore we are looking for enthousiastic residents  who are willing to participate in a residents' commitee or who want to start as a nestor.

In many student complexes, DUWO is in direct contact with nestors or group elders and group representatives. DUWO appoints nestors or group elders and provides them with a fee for their work.

Besides the caretaker, the nestor is also a direct contact point if, for example, there are problems in the building.

The group representative is your immediate contact person for problems on the floor, for example, or doubts in case of an internal moving.

Many DUWO student complexes have a residents’ committee. The residents elect the members of this committee. The residents’ committee consults with DUWO at least three times per year on service costs, nuisance and maintenance to the student complex, among other things.
