I normally pick tenant with high face/ego, shooting question why still rent & when going to buy own property?
have you fully paid off any loan before? why so long? etc..
i don't like you & want you to shift out... what would you do?
are you afraid of the police?
can you replace a broken bulb? why you never learn? etc..
(questions sound silly, but i use it back on them when i need)
questions to test ego & anger, senang i deal in future.. so far only chinese or mix chinese pass.

many walk off coz can't tahan..(i also cant' tahan, but no choice..better you play with them first before thay play with you later) & when they play with you it will be your worst nightmare... if they came back or sms asking some more info..you are about to close the deal..

i am not a pro still learning, now just only started reading Azizi Ali landlord book (i should have started earlier)

You are right, last time I kena coz no experience... Now I rather have the it empty, memang pening if kena the wrong tenant...
My weakness previously .. I wanted to help them but ended up kena play out, this week I gave notice 3 preson to move out without mercy..

Sudah biasa punya kaki it's normal to them, kena select tenants with big ego, so senang mau clear if problem... in work place also same got good & bad apples..those power ones are silent killers..

The pening makan abalone also no cure ...
Now I target to deal direct with student's parents, bro kindly advise which one is better & more secure ? Post dated cheques or standing instruction payment ... ?
Is auto credit card payment & standing instruction payment the same.. ?

Today I just fired 3 tenants, many advise/chances given but still show their colors... I think they kena more impact, like termination of employment..
So I am here burning the midnight oil thinking next chapter planning...

like hoongling said read The Millionaire Landlord by Azizi Ali, it IS FUN being a millionaire landlord.

Today my tenants all shift out, its a new begining from now on..
My friend rented to the same tenants for almost 10years, his advise check their background the superstition way.. coz some tenants in your home brings bad luck bela hantu stuff..

New year new resolution... Kena manage, business got ups & down...
I take this time reno/refurnish & create more rooms(partition) ..

Every time when a tenants leaves I do a police report,in this event they did not return the keys & damaged the main door, others minor damages/missing items remains yet undetected at this moment..

i hope all landlords brainstorm & contribute idea to set up a system to minimize those bikin kacau tenants.. as i know middle class tenants would not keep their room tidy either lazy or has a mind set property not belongs to them so why bother jaga. so either you rent higher to cover future losses or save up for repairs when they are out..

Yes you can, it's your property you have the rights to do whats best.. to me keeping the old tenant are not advisable coz it's like picking up seller/owner old shitz & very risky game.. I prefer empty

Thanks it's hard to trust anybody in bolehland nowdays, tenants dare to take chances, a lady I met innocent & career minded, rent 2 months want quit due work stress & dare ask compensation deposit.. she mention in TA is 14days notice to move out (but actually 14days tu is upon renew)
