Partitioning will slow down evacuation during a fire.

All these fucking property gurus are mostly conmen. They are telling the people to break the laws because of gomen weak enforcement.

End of the day, who suffers? The owners and tenants.

Hai for people who are more concerned about the hereafter, they sure are capitalistic. Be nice to your Karen’s, I know for one if I see it I will make noise unless I’m suitably buttered up with bottles of wine.

There will be always people looking to rent cheap rooms in the city and owners and gurus took advantage of the situation by breaking the laws. Now the laws are coming to bite them in the ass. So, do u think the gurus will take responsibility? Of course not otherwise how do they cari makan?

All house or building plan need approval from Bomba and all relevant departments, right? So far it was not enforced to ensure safety like house renovation.

One can argue but unlikely to win in court.

That's the problem with our law,  "look more cramped" is very subjective, that gives room for ppl to challenge the enforcement

Hope this ruling comes with enforcement. Penalty, seal the premise, make good before release back to owner.

Please tell me how room rate will go up without house partitioned?

The extra income from the partitioned room goes to pocket of operators and greedy owners with blatant ignorance and total lack of respect to local regulations.

Regulations means for blanket and equitable for all people. Owners cannot justify by going to cut and dice a property to make it more affordable to tenants. It will not be fair to the neighbours who are own stayers and buy a luxury condo and expect it to exclusive.

Fair statement sublet is not illegal.

But to be honest if partitioned is not legal, most owners that plan to do sublet will not do so because it is no longer profitable. They can try to increase room rate but trust me they will not able to do as tenants have so much accomodation options in KL.

To put it succinctly, owners bought property at worng price and wrong objective resorted to sublet and partitioned. This group of owners probably just 0.1% of total owners. So would it be fair to 99.9% of owners out there who buy a property with right objective.i.e. own stay?

Local authority (DBKL) has to put their foot on this otherwise this minority will think it is their birth right to break a law.

Everyone has to follow law.

So you are implying it is ok to break law so that cost can be reduced? Or matter of safety to be compromised?

So it is ok for Malton to build 20k affordable units in Taman Rimba Kiara so that more people can live in prime TTDI?

i think you are the one confuse.. for both,,, law is broken..... but i get it. those who affected will always try to twist facts.

Court has ruled it is illegal approval unless you and i are living in different dimension.

You must be living in another dimension or living in denial as Dbkl has issue circulation illegal erected partition for bedrooms is not legal.

It's rather telling that many posts are accusing the new rules as "elitists destroying livelihood" instead of acknowledging that such properties are 1) overpriced/future priced because of the bullish sentiment artificially inflated by partitioning and 2) young people are in fact struggling to rent rooms BECAUSE of poor wages, not "lack of cheap rooms" per se 😴

Of course there’s always going to be people flouting the rules but the point of such a strong statement to denounce the act is that people will stop posting proudly on social media. Co-living companies and property gurus won’t advertise openly and of course JMB will have to respond if neighbours complain that this is going on.

The fact that they have to sneak around to do it is the point and they can’t do it openly. Quite sad we can’t self regulate and need harsh punishment to learn any sort of lesson. Sounds like we need a PAP or CCP to really get anyone to follow any sort of rules.

The picture she linked is exactly why it’s all gone to hell. The only way to get what they want is that the developers build it outright like Berjaya with their 900 sqft 5 bed/4 bath. Taking matters into your own hands means that it’s too hard to regulate so might as well ban all. No sympathy Miss Chong, go fly kite.

There are plenty of options still. Tenants just have to be not lazy and find a group of like minded people to rent a place like what your elders had to do.

This is what young adults have been doing all their life. Arguably it’s even easier nowadays with digital and social media. If someone was truly altruistic, they would build a platform to connect tenants. This is common in UK, US etc.

Wetopia etc have the capabilities to do so but don’t know how to monetise it beyond blocking off your living room and being the unit supplier. If you’re smart, you’d meld it with a Tinder component so u got all your “needs” taken care of. That enough of an idea for you? Prude stay sama prude, DTF stay with likeminded.
