You can not ignore it. Migrant workers are of inestimable value in our country. Particularly in crucial sectors such as horticulture. However, decent housing remains a huge problem. Lento.eu now offers a solution.
In the spotlight of the fruit and vegetable sector lies an indispensable, but often overlooked component: migrant workers. These invisible forces, coming from different parts of Europe, are essential for planting, nurturing, harvesting and packaging the crops that grace our tables every day. However, despite their essential role, decent housing remains a huge problem. Fortunately, Lento.eu now offers a solution.
The indispensable role of migrant workers
Migrant workers are the backbone of the fruit and vegetable sector. From sunrise to sunset they work in the fields and in the greenhouses. Where they provide skills and labor that are often not easily replaceable. Dedication and work of this level should at least be matched by decent housing. But unfortunately, many migrant workers are faced with appalling living conditions. In some cases, they are forced to live in crowded and often unsanitary living spaces, lacking basic amenities such as sanitation and heating.
Simple and fair employment and rental contracts
Lento.eu strives to improve the range of residential facilities for migrant workers. And strengthen their position by putting an end to complicated contractual structures. Via Lento.eu, migrant workers can easily find high-quality housing that meets strict quality requirements. The process is comparable to booking a holiday, aimed at comfortable and decent housing in the Netherlands.
Fair system and multilingual support
How? Lento.eu makes the contracting process simpler and fairer. Standard contracts separate employment and rental contracts, so that termination of work does not automatically lead to forced departure from the home. This results in a fairer and fairer system for migrant workers.
In addition, Lento.eu understands the importance of multilingualism and offers support in various languages, including English, Polish, Bulgarian, Romanian and Dutch. Contracts are drawn up in the employee’s native language. This makes working in the Netherlands more attractive. And that’s nice, given the tightness on the labor market.
Compliance with essential rules and legislation
Providing decent living space that complies with applicable standards and regulations. That is where Lento supports employers in fruit and vegetable farming and related sectors. The result is an improvement in compliance with essential rules and legislation. Such as the Roemer advice, the Good Landlordship Act and the ‘mandatory certification’ bill for employment agencies.
An additional advantage is that by simplifying compliance with complex rental legislation, Lento.eu also contributes to more efficient use of the housing stock. This makes vacant homes available for rental more quickly, which counters the problem of housing shortages.
‘Easy Living’ and a transparent housing market
Lento.eu wants to make ‘Easy Living’ possible for every migrant worker in the Netherlands. They are committed to making the rental market more transparent for migrant workers and improving their living conditions. Discover it on Lento.eu!
