Landlord doesn't want to take care of painting.

Landlord doesn't want to take care of painting.

I recently moved into an apartment in the Netherlands. Its rented out in the free market (194 points even though I already found 2 that where wrongly attributed).

We moved in and there where bunch of things like oven completely dirty to be unusable, broken doorknobs, moldy spots and every wall was dirty like scratch marks, cracks, bad paint job and stuff like that.

Here are few examples:

He said he will send someone over to check on our complaints but regarding the walls he said its normal wear and tear (which I disagree) and not his business. Regarding the mold we keep an eye on it ventilate probably and try to clean them as good as possible.

Is there anything I can do against this? How is this normally handled in the Netherlands?
