dunno how much they want to increase, I really always pay on time, apa rosak also i cover myself diy repair or hire people if ppl kenot handle, they left ady but from the conversation, want increase RM700, last time rent room always hv to move cuz the one rent whole unit dun want rent anymore, now I rent whole unit got different stress

sounds like landlord want to profit more, or just want to chase you out by unreasonable rent price

in the end, in the eyes of the lardlord it's still business

In most TA, normally the rental increase is max at 10% of current rent.

700 means your current rental 5 - 7k per month ?

You sure B or T 🫣

What to do? Now start looking around in case really ken chase out

Current rent RM1k, she says market price now is 1.7k, I think she no follow TA one I think, last time RM700 straight to RM900, then not long after to RM1k, now say our market price now is RM1.7k rent

Just leave don't need give face

If that the case, then better to look for another place.

This is the disadvantage of being a renter.

Why didn't apply to buy govt housing ?

Now looking for place to move out le, i dunno what bomb price she gonna drop later, pay rent on time also treat me like dirt, hope she gets hell tenant that doesn't pay rent or better couldnt rent her property out at all

Any guide for me to read on buying govt housing? cuz unker dunno about this thing, ppl around me also dun want tok about it, macam dun want me know

Increase every year or one year increase multiple times.

If later, move out je la.

No need to stress about it.
Go find another unit to rent.
Good tenants are hard to find but your landlord thinks otherwise.

every few years randomly, if govt increase something, sure kena
No maintenance for me, all I settle myself, like the paint dried out and kupas, the steel grill corrode til rosak all no maintain, tak kan I hire people to fix the steel grill right?

I think they too comfortable for having me paying rent on time every time at 7th of the month, I meet hard to collect rent tenant before (I rent room to other ppl) and also stories of ktards of hell tenants

the property location near shop mrt?

if no, 70% increase is too much, better look for some where else, they lose a good pay master :X

Why don't you check the current market prices around the same area? If you can't find anything within your existing rent levels, then you could either negotiate with your existing landlord for a new rental price based on your market research or you start searching elsewhere?

Google rumahwip and rsku and samm.

If not sure after reading, open new thread to ask.

got lrt and mrt, but my workplace nearby so only walking distance

Seems like online not much property listed around my area, need to start looking around at notice board around my area to call and ask. The tenant already hinting they want rm1.7k, but not yet final, if increase RM100 ok la, but if increase a lot, like RM300 I will consider move somewhere else le

U tell her, u remove me, u find new tenant also need One month. Rugi 1 month rent already kan. Then if u find agent, agent take one month commission also. Rugi 2 months Liao. Worth it meh

Deal for rm1.2k, fair for all. Or, try survey same building for other units

the most important question is "do you think it's really easy to find new people rent"

the place that i currently lived in, that answer is a big no....if i leave, he would be spending prolly years to find new tenant
so that question will determine how much leverage you have to negotiate or else find another place to stay

other questions to ask would be
1. do you pay your rent early every month
2. do you clear your utilities bill every month/when it came

all this will give u leverage to counter back her
