Instead asking from K
why not you direct call tenant and found out what is the problem?

Ask nicely
Talk nicely

I began to think this is a kopitiam posting instead of serious one.
Anyway, Cut your lose quick and swiftly. Cut the utilities, lock up the door when you sure there are no one inside. Please double, tripled check before you lock up the property. Anytime anyone tries to break open your property, you hv the right to call the guard or authority.

Cause I feel the law is too one sided, kind of give up already.. cause apparently not allowed to lock the door without eviction order and their belongings is still inside..

Anyway already submitted request to close the tnb account , waiting for electricity disconnection..

Wanted to give them more mercy but the fact they don’t bother to reply your messages when I ask for payment status despite of them not paying according to their promised deadline and will only reply when mentioned about the electricity disconnection really pissed me off..

Then ask nicely to get them moving out by next month and say there is new tenant coming in.

He paid you for 3 straight years without any hassle, I would close one eye for it. Atleast you're still holding their deposit.

TS are making mistake by

1. Did not check your account monthly regularly
2. Did not renew the contract
3. Did not assign utility bills to tenant's name

Remember there is always a risk doing property rental business.

For my client case, they are not picking up or replying msgs. But I would still send instruction/actions that im going to take for next.

1. It's okay not to reply, but im going to do xxx xxx by this weekend
2. I have done xxxx, please follow xxxx
3. Last resort are xxxx, I will remove everything on that date.

Obviously these people has financial issue already, make good abit TS.

I got check my monthly account, just that thought they will pay eventually since their previous payment record is good..

Actually if you say didn’t renew the contract, then supposedly I no longer bound to the terms and condition of the previous contract ? But as far as I know, the same terms still apply as long as my tenant got continue paying the rent and I continue to take it..
As for utility bills not assigning to tenant name, previously I was told that even if assign the utility bills to tenant name, if he doesn’t pay up, I can’t open any new account under the same property address, same goes to the Internet service where each unit can only have one name registered to it..

Yea but they are so snobbish, if talk nicely, we can deal nicely, when I ask them why they didn’t pay according to their promised payment deadline, they ignore you..

you have given them 3 months notice. Just send a whatapps, you will cut power and water in 3 days. and please move by when. then when go apartment , be accompanied by security or police.
