btc mining?

RM800 electricity bill, maybe not kua, BTC mining not illegal, curi lektrik illegal but not sampai diserbu pulis
Something else.

TS, I suggest don't just listen to neighbour, go and see for yourself - maybe after the pulis has left

maybe sometimes curi, some not?

I suspect online gambling or con people

I don’t know is the polis still there or what
I’m going back hometown for cny holiday
Can’t find time to go my unit see

possible too

check with your neighbour again

perhaps one of his family member is penagih dadah , u may call to the police station nearby n ask?

I hope you have a tenancy agreement to proof they are just your tenant.. Else if they said they did it and you're the boss, you're done for liao..

Wah, pulis case also can still have mood to go back hometown meh... I for sure cannot celebrate in peace. TS, you really steady bom bii bii.

TA ended in Aug2024 I was in overseas didn’t renew or whatsoever he continue pay rent n stay there

For sure will affect my mood to celebrate but my unit is in Klang Valley I’m staying in JB

I don’t think so my neighbor told me they mostly “lock” themselves in the unit
Seldom meet them

Guess they doing something online that’s why I wonder why the elect bill so high one

Last update from my neighbor
Polis got into my unit and took their laptops
Then no update anymore

Sounds like they come here and do Gambling operations or scam center.

Oh.. like that, understand...

Nowdays u komen something about 3R also polis come ketuk pintu.

possible online scamming syndicate or gambling

gib your neighbor aprove to go see and live video for u la

PRC scamming centre over 20 people inside?

habis la TS

CNY at which lokap

Meth lab?

i think TS better ask what your tenant said on that.
Can just believe what neighbours saids.

better go check your tenant.
last time my condo got 1 unit as drug lab.
at nite always got awfully busuk smell came frm dat unit.
got ambushed by pulis swat-style ambush.

Well, even you do 3r or threatening comment also can kena serbu.

Di a quick visit under pretext periodicals inspection?

WhatsApp him and ask la

If your tenant is doing illegal stuff + landlord is aware that the tenant is using their premise for illegal stull, then the landlord will be liable. Police will contact you, if necessary. Meanwhile just stop leasing to this tenant after such incident has happened.

Enjoy your CNY holiday for now. Thing that is no longer within your control, worry also pointless. No need to ruin the present mood over thing you can longer control. See 1 step, take 1 step for now.

** Usually for illegal activity: -

a) the tenant will be willing to deposit a large amount of security deposit up to 12 ~ 24 months,
b) the rental rate will be a lot higher compared to the norm.

If the above abnormally is not present, just deny that you are aware of such activity. If you accepted such abnormal tenancy agreement conditions, it would be difficult not to be the suspected of being an accomplice.

Bitcoin mining

How much rent they pay you? Drugs is profitable

Possibly scammer

gambling, pornography, or scammer.

ask your tenant directly

Do you have any police / lawyer friend can ask?

If me, will go police station and ask what should I do from this situation. Most importantly protect myself out from this case.

....

Have you gone to YOUR OWN UNIT to do inspect inspection before? Like a monthly or bimonthly thing to do?

800 a month bill is not normal.

24 hours open air cond?

dont lah

later he become more depressed

won't even reach there.

unless the fella has 8 air conds.

then what biz he doing? mortuary biz?

Boiler and cooker heavy usage.

Is ok inside lokap still can surf lawyat

I had an experience once whereby the police raided my property due to drug offences. The police called me and i had to go to police station to give statement.

Luckily i had my tenancy agreement and could prove that i had nothing to do with whatever my tenant was doing and cant be held responsible.

Moral of the story, always have a legal & valid tenancy agreement as it protects you against any risks.

Can reach especially if have large HP aircond for common area/living room turned on the whole time.

well as landlord I control the installation.

Usually tenant won't want to do it, otherwise they install for me for free.

My electric is 500-600 a month already with just 2 people inside. So 800 must be normal right?

Yes, but not all landlord do.
I had the experience staying with a bunch of foreigners before, it was a free accommodation provided by co. It almost seems the aircond for living room and dining area turned on the whole time, until one day HR came and scolded everyone because the bills had reached four digits.

Apparently alot of property owners got very upset when I said the same in lowyat. You rent out your property, at least play you responsibility to ensure your property is not used for crime purposes but nope they see red when people call them for being careless and just goyang kaki collect money

Some ppl are actually surprised when I said I do inspections and do repair (either by myself or I bear the cost) without relying on agents.

It's like the entire concept of 'looking out for yourself' is alien to them.

This is not normal.

malaysians in general have very high level of trust.

thats why get scammed also. to ask us to be vigilant and suspicious - it's not in our DNA

How? TnB already been to check. Have some older aircon. Replaced one but not the others. Usually have one aircon on at a time only still 600 easy.

I don't understand how some pay so little. Must be different rates for different areas or condo.

U live what house how many electric appliances? I used to live in a condo with 3 people's. Average monthly RM100-130 only.

We all use aircond also. Got fridge got TV got washing machine.

But dunno how Ur one can until RM600

Similar. Usual house appliances, fridge etc. Some fish tanks on 24-7.

Could it be fridge?

Aircon one on when home and all night.

Condo also? Too big edi la Ur usage. Some 2 storey house got 4 bedroom with family of 6 also use 500 only.

Impossible so high. Maybe Ur fish tank. Or maybe 2hp aircond.

But also... 600 is too crazy

No update from ts?

Erm.. con job or gambling

Commercial lot and residential lot

Commercial lot will charge commercial pricing

Dryer, heater, Aircon,pc high rate consumption electricity

TS masuk lokap issit?

600 is on the high side for residential lot

Get an authorised technician to install a power meter and measure your consumption vs TNB measured consumption for a start. Slowly troubleshoot from there.

Unless you jot down your usual habit and all your appliances, impossible to track.

Older R410a AC are a lot more power hungry than current models. Also depends on your temp setting as well. I saw my mom's old 1HP R410a 5 stars rated Panasonic inverter AC stated 1500w whereas a 5 stars inverter AC from Samsung is rated at 800w.

I used to have a old fridge that's non inverter consuming about 5kwh everyday. The replacement inverter fridge only consume 1kwh as comparison.

PC with powerful graphic and cpu also suck a lot of power. Then there's the usual water heater, kettle or thermopot, induction cooker.

Another thing I noticed is that some people who are struggling with high electricity bills are led light users. Even though led lights consume very little electricity by it's own but many people install excessive amount of lights to produce the same bright environment as those using T8 lighting.

so my agent helped me settle everything including moving all rubbish out and clean the unit
now pending the damaged door to be replaced
although he will get the 1mth comm when find new tenant

but i think should pay him for the effort he done for me
how much should you think i should pay him

The fuck?

From tenant got hauled by police to you clearing it all. You don't properly update us here & u expect us to advise you?

Pls don't be a landlord if u gonna toss everything down to the tiniest problem to agents.

Don't need to pay him. He found you this Chibai tenant right? Then he help u clear their mess. Next tenant he earn one month comms already payment.

gaming chairs and tables also can sell for money

PRC scamming centre?

told you TS

dont really need to pay him too much la. cleaning unit rm200 cukup normally

If you really want to thanks for agent's hardwork, give him an angpow as a token of appreciation. Around the cleaning fees would do. Need to judge from agent's professionalism
and how pro-active..

untung la TS

forfeited the deposit and the agent clear things for you

but, be careful of this agent, he might be working with the scammers group and knew that they are scammers way before they rented your unit

how much u need to pay him?

none.

He's the one not doing his job at screening potential tenants properly. Show some authority or you are going to be the scapegoat again. cukur this time scam call centre. if next one is meth processing? skali lu kena angkut .
