how is he going to register a private caveat?
the house is yours.
you didn't sign any agreement to sell it to him. SPA or first option purchase. no deposit received. neither you owe him money making him the creditor. (legally)

for the renovation with or without your consent. you can request him to restore to original state.
therefore he needs to spend more money to restore. in which he will plead you accept as the current condition which you can accept or not.
If there is tenancy agreement normally this is written in the contract.

Thank you very much for your advice sir.
The thing is that anybody can register a private caveat by filling a form in Pejabat Tanah.
I'm not sure whether they will accept such claim.
Really give me headache.
In case he register the caveat, how do I remove it?

anyone can apply to register. not everyone can register.

anyone can apply to sue anyone, but it is judge to show it is valid or not.

I need help on the private caveat issue.

Last month, I asked my tenant to move out since I plan to sell the house.
The problem is that, the tenant had renovated my house without my consent (he initially planned to buy my house).
Now he threatens me to lodge a private caveat on the property to stop any selling procedures until I pay the renovation cost.
I don't have any tenancy agreement with him, however, I did text him before the renovation that I won't bear the renovation cost (he agreed).

In case he applies for private caveat, can I remove it by simply filling the 19H form?
Is this thing is eligible for private caveat claim?
I need to sell the house fast, if possible, I hope I'm not going to settle this matter in court.

Thank you sir for the advice.
I don't know much about law.
I'm confused with (b) statement in the:

Section 323 of the National Land
Code (“Code”). It provides :
“(1) The persons and bodies at whose instance a private caveat
may be entered are—
(a) any person or body claiming title to, or any registrable interest
in, any alienated land [or undivided share in any alienated land] or
any right to such title or interest;
(b) any person or body claiming to be beneficially entitled under
any trust affecting any such land or interest; and
© the guardian or next friend of any minor claiming to be entitled
as mentioned in paragraph (b).”

Want to enter Caveat also need to submit documents one.

I doubt he has any documentations to support his lodgment.

But to be safe, you should contact a lawyer to sort things out before you proceed to sell the house.

If the tenant is difficult, you will have a hard time letting the house go as well.

Yea exactly. worst case of no agreement is tenant can stay forever and you might have to compensate him to leave.
he can sue you in court to get compensation to leave.

Why. this case = squatters. he is living at the house. nobody put a charge on it legally. so you need to prove he paying you monthly.
you will surely get income tax enquiry after this for failing to declare taxable income.
which you will be saman for 10 times the amount.

anyone can register private caveat on your property if they have the requisite supporting documents.

land office counter won't care if those docs are real or forged - as long as the required items are in order, they will register the caveat there.

BUT if u challenge in court then of cos he will lose.

if he wanna be a cb and got alot money to spare and purposely give u a hard time then of course he can purposely kacau u n put caveat there. then have to mafan u to go apply to registrar to strike off caveat n claim damages.

Basically, whoever has a ‘caveatable’ interest has a right to lodge a private caveat. In order for the interest to be caveatable, it must be capable of being registered. Circumstances where a caveatable interest is present include:

i. A purchaser under a sale and purchase agreement claims a right to the land title;

ii. When there is an option to purchase under an unconditional binding contract;

iii. Once a deposit is paid; a paid deposit is sufficient to give rise to a caveatable interest even though no contract was concluded; and,

iv. Equitable chargees can enter into private caveat pending registration of the charge.

Situations such as a tenancy; the owing of the balance of the purchase price, where the option of purchase has lapsed; and where the vendor has validly terminated the sale and purchase agreement, will not give rise to any caveatable interest.

And this is why I kinda hate managing rental units.

When tenants are being a dick, the stress is real....
