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.

the mall usually have sop for removal. can ask management for help

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.

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?

what does your rental contract say about non payment, exit clause
eg. if rental is not received in full by xxx day of the month for continuous xxx months, this contract is considered null and void.
...
party A reserve the rights to clean out and the cleaning fee shall be borne by party B

something like that?

i see malls they put up notice on the door by landlord if no pay in x month, shall commence clearing. Mall side usually have contract that the shop must open by 10am and close by 10pm also.

usually mall will assist as much as possible to maintain their reputation.
