I'm also having the same problem. Looking at options on what to do next.

First and foremost, check to see if the tenant is still living there.

Then decide if you want to go the legal or not so legal way.

a friend have the same problem outside of KL and she ended up just saying ok, go on then, stay. i disagree with this approach. so, what can be done?

anyone has a checklist on how you audit your potential tenants ??

I usually check, job, family, hometown, and previous tenancy owner number for reference.my tenant now 2 months late d shitass

Parking

Lower the water pressure to the unit (ask the management to assist).

Check if TNB bill is outstanding. If TNB bill outstanding more than deposit, you may instruct TNB to send disconnection notice. Then if they don't pay they will disconnect it.

electric/water under whose name? if ur name go cut it.

Still below the deposit but I already instructed tnb cut since they 2 months late me. But now TNB cannot cut cuz mco..... fakkkkk

Under my name. Sudah instructed tnb ppl cut on March 16 but until now cannot cut cuz of mco

Lower the water pressure, make a special request to the Management.

you can be in trouble. under the law, landlord has no right to cut of the supply of electricity etc

sad to say, we dont have the tenancy Act, and tenancy agreement practice in malaysia does not protect landlord in general.

already make police report. asked officer if can cut since under my name, he say can

if you ask a lawyer, maybe get a different kind of opinion.

its al rights. hope you are okay as settle your problem soonest possible.

Even when the Tenancy Act is in place, landlord will still need to give sufficient notice to the default tenant, same with loans under housing and car before the banks can repossess.

Disconnecting utilities is definitely a no under the Act.

there is no Tenancy Act yet

are you referring to tenancy agreement ?

I said 'When'
