for instance, landlords are powerless against tenants that dont pay rent, are abusive, or just plain unreasonable, not willing to talk and all...

how do we counter that? do we let them go and terrorise other landlords? justice takes too long IMHO, especially if what they do sometimes are not illegal but are just not right and plain wrong.

how about name and shame?

Bad Tenants

master bedroom.

see, the thing is, they took advantage of the situation where the previous owner have left the country. now it becomes a he says she says moment. but whatever it is, thats between them. even if they want deposit back if the previous owner didn't give them, i cant give 'cos thats not the deal.

the deal was they rented the room for one year. until september 30th. after which, since they do not have any agreement, they should just fark off. but i dont like to to do that to ppl, especially after she called and asked to say for a few days. i said fine, but since im stalling for people who'd like to rent the room, she should pay pro rata la. "ill consider it" is the answer.

that does not fly with me. im the owner, youre the renter. i dont mind a little give and take, but once your rights oversteps mine, i choose me.

and the fact that you say one thing today and a different thing the next, makes it problematic. and do you think these type of people would consent for an agreement even if i shove it in their faces? if i ask for a copy of their I/C?

so yeah, its not illegal, but its NOT RIGHT.

its not my assets, but theirs - but thats also the reason i charge pro rata to them. They are using the utilities AND stayed for free for four days.

yup, for them to just skip payment and deny everything, ITS NOT ILLEGAL BUT ITS NOT RIGHT.

checked the electricity bills, luckily its only overdue about RM100. water bill isnt here yet though. hopefully its not too much.

yeah, i can only seek redress in the court of popular opinion.

sorry to hear what happened, normally i go with a video camera or a camera when i confront these people so there is some sort of documentation in case of criminal acts (physical abuse, fight, threats) and not to confront them alone or at night.

another tip: if you lock them in its kidnapping, if you lock them out its your property so its ok. just escort them when they inspect their properties as they leave.
