I am helping an uncle to chase this tenant to pay rent.

Contract say pay by 10th, but today is 23rd...

My rule of thumb is tenant cannot owe more than 1 month, otherwise evict.

Its a small commercial lot in a small shopping mall.

This tenant appears to have closed his hp, after I tried calling numerous times and sent watsapp reminders.

Any options?

If in event tenant owe > 1 mth, I evict...can I hire a lawyer to write a simple letter to tell them to go?

Other than that, is there a cheaper way to evict ? I don't want to take 6 months and get a court order costing me 6k, jsut to evict.

No need lawyer letter. As a landlord, issue a letter asking to settle all outstanding rental arrears, plus a confirmation whether the tenant wish to continue to rent.

Give 7 days notice and if the landlord don't received a reply, terus masuk unit.

1 letter to registered address, 1 letter paste on the premise, 1 through WhatsApp or email.

can just masuk like that?

so commercial unit no such thing as vacant possession?

Residential got laws protecting the tenants. Need to use the court to officially kick them out.

Commercial can just use lawyers or strong-arm tactics to evict tenants.

Oh, that is music to my ears.

If no reply from tenant, what you gonna do ? You don't want to spend money on lawyer. You just can't leave it 'occupied' with no rental.

no rental paid, I will evict.

Of course, I won't let the tenant use that rent free.

but how to evict by legal law ?

Can obtain court order more cheaper n easily than residential?
