Had a job i/v with the EU last week and it looks like we'll be moving to Lux this summer. So can I ask some more questions?
Renting - what's the deal with these 1 year/3 year leases? As I understand it, if you break the lease before the end you have to pay it out unless you can find tenants? Our plan is to buy a place after 12-18 months, so how do people manage this without going bankrupt paying out their lease? If you renew a 1-year lease is it for another full year each time with the same scary conditions attached? And is it hard to persuade a landlord to give you 1 year rather than 3 years?
Location - I had a bit of a look around but it seemed like most of the villages that are a bit out (and cheaper) are very tiny. I think DH might go bonkers at home with children there, so we might need to start off closer in even if it means an apartment, and maybe move out once we have established a life. What is Strassen like?
Creche - any tips on where to start with looking for one? and anything that may be different about creches there than anywhere else? or things to ask about? EU creche is no good to us as DH won't be working to start with so we can't use it - but we'd like a part-time place so he has a bit of time to learn German and then look for a job. I've heard there's a new scheme coming in which should drastically reduce the fees - do you know anything about it? and does it apply to all creches?
Thank you!!!
