Everything you say the tenant can do, the landlord can do one better or more. Because the tenant is nothing more than a squatter without a written agreement. It sound like you're the one without renting experience.
http://www.usj.com.my/bulletin/upload/arch...hp/t-32931.htmlLet's come back to the real world eh.
What can the landlord do if he gets a tenant who refuses to pay rent or move out? Hire some gangster to move him out? How many landlords have access to the underworld? We're talking about real world here, not your made up dream.
Use physical violence against the tenant? Yeah, go ahead - then you've just done something illegal to someone by causing physical violence. Granted that staying in someone's property without paying is illegal too, but you malaysian law does not protect the landlord - no enforcement is done.
IF the world is like what you say - there would not be any issue with tenants destroying houses at all in this world. The fact that we almost never hear stories about landlord going crazy - the most they do is don't return your deposit - shows that in real life, there's jack shit that landlords can do against tenants.
Why do you think we hear so many cases of tenants destroying houses and refusing to move out? Because landlords are not protected in Malaysia, even with rental agreement. DUH.
But hey, you stick with your theory of squatting without written agreement, whatever keeps you sleep at night.
I've been a landlord for more than 5 years, and I have 4 apartments that I rent out to people, what about you? Still sleeping under your mom's roof?
