QUOTE(aaron1717 @ Jun 28 2018, 03:33 PM) boleh... the ceiling should be high enough... chg the living room into a room also... 6 ppl one toilet... haha Reminds me of the time my sister lived in one of these 'converted' single-storey detached houses when she was studying at Taylors University 6 years ago. She had to squeeze together with 3 other roomies in one room with a master bed. If I'm not mistaken, that aunty house owner is able to partition 5 rooms out of that house. Earned a lot from the rental until she doesn't even need to work and can make trips to China twice a year some more. Not a good experience being a student there at that time and my sister doesn't miss it one bit. I wonder if nowadays its much better or this scenario is still alive and kicking?

QUOTE(aaron1717 @ Jun 28 2018, 04:03 PM) as long as its really very near to the uni... this practice will still remained... same applies to those single storey at taman bunga raya opposite TARC... still have so many rooms in one level... and just a small path way to the back where the public bathroom and pantry remains... haha.... but the pro is you can really walk to school without breaking much sweat haha University/College student life is akin to living like a hamster. I heard from my sister that these kind of modifications to the house isn't legal, but I guess it's easier for these landed house owners to get away with it compared to condo unit owners where they'll have to deal with a JMB if they need to modify the unit (or don't bother as long as they receive the rental?).

QUOTE(Bjorn1688 @ Apr 15 2019, 04:57 PM) That aunty could be my mum :lol This is her favourite kind of rental properties. She has 3 of those single storey houses that been converted to be student ghettos. 1 is a Muslim girls only house, 1 a Chinese girls only house. All of 4 tenants per room and rental payable upfront by the semester. The 3rd house is a bit funny, she was having some dispute with the corner house owner, something to do with the tenants making noises and one boy disturbing her maid and then the owner started being abusive on something along the lines that she did not like there being Indians living in the house next to her. Start of next semester, she converted the whole house to be an "African house" 8 students from various African countries moved in. Oh yeah because no one would rent to Africans the rental was RM1.5k per tenant per month. Only thing provided was a broom, mop and a mop bucket. Even the TNB was in their own name. This type of rentals happen anywhere and everywhere there exist a private college or uni, her other place where she does this is Damansara Jaya and Semenyih. You really sure this aunty I'm referring to is your mum?  That aunty I was describing lived right next door to it. If memory serves me, she lives alone and most of her kids have flown from the coop dy. Late 50s or early 60s. Not really sure she bought other houses and turned them into 'student ghettos', though. But I have to admit, you mum does have a knack for property investment. |
