Hi got a condo in mont kiara... and there is an inquiry from an iranian. Wondering how are their behaviour.. payment prompness. Anyone has any experience with them?

avoid at all cost

Remember to check the expiry date of their VISA. Many drug dealers.

ask 5months advance

My mother have rent out her apartment to Iranians currently. Actually the tenant will be different from tenant to tenant.
It all depends on your luck.

if you are desperate and owe money to loan shark then rent to them
else forgo and look for other tenants

Iranian have problem of transfer money from their country to Malaysia due to usa money transfer sanctions block.

I started avoiding them since April 2012.

Avoid at all costs. If you don't get trouble from the tennant in terms of payment, etc you may end up getting complaints from your condo management or other neighbours when they are noisy, damage condo facilities etc.

Avoid, they are atomic bomb maker.

Can I ask all to avoid pakistani, nigerian, and african please.

I want my peace country!!!!

Take no chance. Never consider iranian, middle east and african.

Iran's central bank, the only official channel for Iranians to transfer money abroad, is a major target of the sanctions. The Iranian regime, and those close to it, have ways of circumventing the restrictions but ordinary people are not so fortunate.

For example, if you want to enrol for a seminar in the west, purchase goods from abroad or simply book a hotel in another country, you have no easy way of paying. The same applies if you have relatives abroad and want to assist them financially.

If you are an Iranian studying in the EU or the US, then you have no way of accessing your bank account at home. If you're a patient in Iran, in urgent need of medical treatment abroad, like Rojan Pirsalehi, and you need to pay the hospital to secure your visa, then you might end up losing your life.

For now normal people are mainly effected but things moving fast towards full embargo. Even msia recognize the US embargo. Palm oil for Iran routes thru India or middle east. But not for long, us and eu is clamping down hard like standard chartered case. Stock drop 16% on the day they got caught operating in Iran.

had one experience with an iranian and that was my first and the last..!

i rather leave it empty if i cant rent it out otherwise stress like hell if rental not paid, illegal activities, damage to property lah etc..aiyo, like
they say, once bitten twice shy..

having said that i have met agents who told me (hopefully they are not lying) that they have iranian clients who do not give any trouble..but
if die die have to rent to iranian, i think my current screening process will scare them away anyway !

I had 3 iranian tenants previously.so far so good with the last check out 3months ago. I guess it depends to individual.

*Rent it 30% expensive than market price .

*5 month deposit request .

*A clear agreement and ask them to sign which insert a terms that protect yourself . etc , Any defect of property or any illegal activities by them , u got right to forfeit deposit and chase them out anytime.

All -ve feedback. Today these 2 ME sisters want rent a room in my house & I am hesitating d. Any advice?

This is no brainer man... I will offer them free.. No need to pay rEntal...hehehe

Aladdin princess?

i rented a shop to a Iranian to operate Iranian restaurant which my agent told me this client is genuine and hv been rented shop from him b4 n wanted to open new shop bla bla ..., end up never pay me any rental after few months. (+ all deposits has been utilized). finally i locked the door/grill at night n he finally agreed to move out. otherwise i will confiscate all his belonging.

so , NEVER NEVER rent to iranian..

I'm also currently renting to Iranian student .. They always late In payment but then when I chase the girl and say some harsh words then ONI she gets like scared n quickly go get the money for rental bt then electricity n water bill dun pay!!.. Now electricity bill is rm830+ Liao..

Wanna cut it off until they pay!.. Huh.. After the 1 yr period I also wanna chase them off Liao.. Can't stand it sumore prvsly told me they set standing Instruction sp tht no need to worry .. In the end found out always si din go thru prob cuz acc no money ..

Blardy liars la..

My friend had the same problem with happy-gal. He rented to an Iranian student at Hartamas area.
2 months rentals were not paid plus RM1k+ TNB bill yet to be settled. If possible, try to avoid.

That means that I have been so lucky with my 3 previous Iranian tenants with no problems at all. Have to take extra precaution in near future..

follow their style la

pay rental lumpsum (12months) + estimate water&electricity bills

Not all iranian is bad, some is really good, depends luck. But, I heard terrible story about some of them as well.

To play safe, high risk high return strategy will be the key - set 2 rates:
a) 1 Malaysia rate
b) international rate

Charge them resonable international rate by considering the risks described by lyn kakis.

i have experience renting an apartment in cyberjaya to iranian girls. a student. she is good, maintain the house clean and pay the rent promptly. just, he a bit 'cerewet'. one day fridge broken down and she will annoy me and keep calling me and complaint. but the rest are ok

then i also have rented a room to an iranian boy in kajang. also a student. he also a good paymaster, just not really clean. but i think that is not iranian's prob but most of the boys' problem.

Agreed.

I almost rent my condo for Iranian couple for RM 2,000 few years back but I decided not to, but my fren simply put the offer of RM 2,600 ( a lot higher than market rate ) with 4 months deposit. The Iranian couple maintain the condo quite well and so far, quite good paymaster.

I think depends luck.

For me, I sure avoid Africans ...

thanks for a head up... i think i will avoid them. Previous tenant was good.. even help me to service my air cond for free.. when contract over. Singaporean Canadian Indian.. haha.. to bad he needs a bigger unit.. left liow.

my tenant also never pay utilities bill from day one.

i think the risk is very high when the rental is higher. They think it is worth to cheat a big lump sum..they always think big.

if low rental, just room rental etc risk is lower..

anyway, pls avoid rent to Iranian.
if no choice, pls collect 1 year rental upfront. since they are commited (and rich) it is not likely they will cheat u. pls ask for 1 year rental, this practices are common in Iran and middle east countries.
