the prescribed rate for legal fees to prepare a tenancy agreement is 1/4 of the monthly rental, disbursements should be around RM300 - RM400... stamp duty excluded.

Fook me... that's expensive!!

But it should only be a one-time thing, right? It only happens when the new tenant moves in, subsequent renewals you don't hv to re-engage a lawyer, instead just pay the stamp duty plus some running-around cost.

Been renting for a few years, my landlord charges me RM200 every time for the rental contract. My rent is RM1600, so that's way below 1/4 of the rental.

Well, professional services don't come cheap. If you want legal advise then you have to pay. I don't see people complaining to doctors when they are charged laugh.gif

What doctors do nowadays are so repetitive that I think a 3 year old could recite and replay what doctors do.
Eh? Why are you whacking the medical profession?

Tsk... tsk... tsk....

And yet you're lamenting home buyers don't view paperwork lawyers positively.
