QUOTE(Mrsticker251 @ Mar 8 2017, 07:50 PM) Yup. But the tenant actually prepare the agreement. It is just that I would like a lawyer to look at it so that my rights are protected. Don't think the tenant will want to pay for this same fees still apply (25% of monthly rental) if u want lawyer to vet through the agreement.

QUOTE(Mrsticker251 @ Mar 23 2017, 08:51 PM) Just to update everyone. I did engage a lawyer to vet my ageeement. In the end didn't go ahead with the tenancy. But I thought getting the legal advice is worth it. A peace of mind i assume it's a commercial tenancy? for house tenancy usually its pretty straightforward. but be careful on commercial / mall tenancies - usually the clauses cannot be changed so u will need to be aware of your obligations under the agreement.

This company want to rent my place for short term accommodation to their guests visiting Malaysia. I went to check out the company and noted that it is newly set up. Plus they are asking me to replace a lot of furnitures. So I'm worried that things might go wrong and want to protect myself by having a lawyer to vet through the agreement. Strangely in the end we cant agree on the T&C, so i asked them to look for another unit. Now my agent just replied that they agree to my T&C. I thought it's rather fishy since they should be able to find an unit fairly quick in this market. So I'm not sure if I want to go with them too I'm guessing that it should be fairly simple on the terms:- 1. if u want, u can get new furniture, but insert a clause that they have to replace if spoil (fair wear and tear excepted) upon expiry of the term; 2. no sublet (but in reality it's difficult to enforce) - many companies use this to do airbnb business 3. payment of utilities bill every month and show evidence upon payment of rental I dont think there's much to be disputed on in house tenancies, whether dealing with a company or individual.

That's why I think I probably won't proceed. on a side note, why wouldn't you rent it to a company to do airbnb? I would think that they would take care and maintain the place even better than a normal tenant would, as their ratings and reviews will depend on the cleanliness of the place.

My main concern is that I don't know if airbnb is considered to be legal it's a grey area for now. even if they decide to create new law to govern airbnb, i think it cannot be enforced fully and should be very easy to bypass it.
