[Dear Sir,

I have a few questions regarding dispute/compensation of Kampung House (with assessment i.e have house no. n registered under the local council)

Q1. This house is a half brick house which has been there for 60 years but rebuilt it to a bigger unit for 35 years back,recently the land has been sold to a housing developer, so the developer compensated those residents in that pc of land- 9 units, 6 has accepted the compensation range from 30K to 33K, so our unit only offer 35K which we think it is not fair, cause our unit is the biggest size among the rest? do we have the right to demand more ? on what ground?

Q2. During the negotiation period i.e 3 weeks ago, after one week we received a notice of evacation from the lawyer to request us to move out within 1 month i.e 8/12, if we do not follow then he will proceed into court. Now the developer not yet confirm the sum of compensation(verbally negotiated) but issue a lawyer letter due to another 2 houses has broken talk but not ours. Is it one of the tactic to frighten us to accept his compensation that he will be given?

Q3. This unit house has a backyard foundary i.e making grilled gates etc, n we demanded for a compensation too but the developer refuse due to it is not registered under the local council. The backyard foundary have been operated there 20 years back till now, on what ground can we demand for some compensation?

Hope to hear your reply soonest as the developer's negotiator will be coming to meet us by tommorrow but he is very firm with his decision to compensate us RM35k ONLY.

Thanks for the advice. I think we do not have a title(grant)?We only paid assessment. How to apply the title if there is a house on the land which is belongs to the land owner who hold 1/2 the shares of the land n house too?(This is difference case). We have accept the compensation this afternoon with a heavy heart.

Do u mean the land's title? Of course there is a title for the landowner,however the kampung house erected there, do not has its individual title (grant of the house) but the assessment registered under the house owner i.e the house belongs to us. Those kampung houses are sited on the pc of land belongs to the landowner themself with their consent. In the land office records, I won't know whether there is a plan for those houses. All I know, the new land owner (developer) bought over from the existing landowner who will not compensate us but the new landowner.

Can u conclude that all these kampung houses are squatter houses eventhough with the consent of the landowner who collect a rental fees for occupy at their land?No agreement is made but by mutual consent.

Tq for the advice/consultation given. Cause we are quite "blur"-in the nutshell as we are orang kampung. In the 1st place, old folk is the one who paid the assessment which they "claimed" local municipality insisted to collect some fees from them eventhough no services provided but have some Tar Road(Main) to access to their kampung houses and it is a ownership certification of the house (don't know who told them long ago).

Yes, difference case cause this time we r moving into our 1/2 share land (with 1/2 share title deed)that have a broken house(assessment paid (not the landowner's name)too but from previous" house"owner who move out long ago).Moreover, we move over without the consent of the other 1/2share landowner(sister) who is not aware of it. It is a very complicated case. Need yr kind advice before the other party-sister take any action on us. We are willing to pay the present rental (monthly) of the house which is rented out around RM180/- per month. The rental agreement is signed by my old folk(shareholder of the land) not the other shareholder. Once we move in they will be no more written agreement for the rental cause the other party will not consent.
