Yearly only 1m+ nia....
The whole shoplot is own by same owner....

I think gross....
That why boss everyday keep saying want push this year sales to 2m...
I like wtf....
Like magic meh.....
1 year increase 1m sales...

The revenue i think left not much after cut salary, machine loan, other expenses...
That why everytime boss ask is salary got any conplaint..
I say no....
Cos later salary increase need go push sales and more stress....

From 1k to 1.7k is too much, i suggest i look for other property. Even if u nego, she will increase it in one or two years...

Thank god my last landlord is a very good retiree couple, in 7 years i was renting never once increase the rent. Even at one time, i lose my job and after that going for a employment training program for 10 months. Since i only received a small amount of allowance during the training, i cannot afford the rent, my landlord reduce my rent to almost half as long as i stay.. the rent return to normal once i got my permanent job

Isn’t the newer generation saying this is a renters market now?

I sympathise with you uncle, but if your area is around the Cheras (Selangor) area, I think you can find quite a number of properties for rent

The ones near Bath 9 area, I’m sure you can find one that fits your budget

And being a landlord myself, yes it’s not easy to find a good tenant

So since you are a good tenant that pays on time, I’m sure you’ll meet a good landlord too

drop me yr resume.. any experience with website design, any ux experience? need to hire a team of ux consultants.. easily double of what your getting.. our juniors are paid more than double of yr stated salary.

any figma experience with any kind of ai?

this kind of greedy LL, surely will get a bad tenant after u left

no worries, you will find a better one bro

My aunty 60+ move house like 3 time in 5 yrs because owner raise rent. I can tell you that her health has taken a toll. If possible buy your own place. Even if it's RumahSelangor also better than nothing.
That why the elders always tell the young don't rent.

Wow...increase so much...

Ok..do you have free time to explore Figma?

Ok Figma is a platform where UI/UX engineers use it for collaborative UI projects

You may create a free account explore a bit on its free templates to get some understanding on how it works

Occasionally, you can also YouTube some tutorials for it.

Now, you need to be very hungry and shows it to kidmad. Your salary will be different than now but you need to sacrifice and be hungry first.

Just leave. If suddenly increase so much meaning the owner doesn't really want you to continue

greedy landlord, that is 70% increase. Time to move out, it is hard to find tenant that pay on time.

my tenant those I gave discount due to covid I still maintain the same price nia.. close one eye.
same with other unit, hardly raise rent unless new tenant even > 5,7, or 10 years...

Pay on time is a compulsory...landlord also wanna make money la...
Bad news is your landlord suddenly wanna raise so much on you, u unlucky

Take some time to find a unit first uncle

Take it easy, she won’t be able to kick you out so fast

Then if cannot afford a full unit, only try for room

But honestly 1.2k should have some full units, just take tomorrow to search

honestly, you need to pickup new skills and venture into new areas

these skills that you have are being replaced by AI right now

Unker, I agree with others point that good renter is rare, and you can use that to nego with the landlord.

However she's still the landlord and have the right to increase the rental. What you can do is ask her to consider you never missed payment and you always use your own money to fix up the house. From rm1k, i think up 20% to rm1.2k is reasonable

Maybe she wants to sell or needs money? Just move to another unit.

Yes easy to find ppl, but how many of them are good tenants ?

Its hard to find tenant that pay regularly, most of them pay late...and also most of them dirty the place till yucksss....

Nothing much you can do abt it. Maybe just nego

That is why in certain countries in Europe, landlord cannot raise rental like that one, has to be approved by council and etc...That makes ppl comfy renting...

Same this is what i would say. Since TS mentioned that he have not explored go ahead and do so. This is exactly what i would do. Not just showing to me la, there are whole bunch of companies out there hiring individuals with Figma skills + knowing how to use most/some of the AI plugin + knowing how figma used as a user story/workflow journey storyboard. I can only tell you what we are looking for when the company is hiring a new group of UX consultants. Hope it helps.

Really never too late to pick it up.

Buy your own apartment, then you have full control, no need to face others

Rm1. 7k should be able to rent a nice furnished studio unit with amenities like gym and pool

This is agree. Finding need people to rent, is just one of those things. Other factors to consider, like of the tenant is a good tenant, no problem, no hassle, pays on time, pays utilities, and also can take care of house.

Dude, tackle one thing at a time. Don't overwhelmed yourself

Sort out the most urgent matter first, which is your accommodation. Once you get yourself settled, you will be more calm and clear headed to take the next step

We are all here for you

My tenant always late payment by at least one month, I never increase rent for over 5 years already. He is terminating tenancy this month end and I plan to just sell off instead of facing headache as “landlord”.

Better I hold cash and put them in investment or EPF than to get headache with tenant.

Just read TS comment that u didn’t think of buying own prop because single 4everalone. I think u should think about the difficulty to find rental unit once u are senior citizen, landlord may worry renting to a single old fella staying alone, worry may die and rot inside prop for weeks before anyone find out…

Also, imagine old liao but still need to move home every few years due to whatever reason. Just buy a cheap place at least nobody can kick u out no matter what.

Stock market can do that as well with zero effort.
By zero effort, you can just do it on your smartphone. Open brokerage app, buy stock then close app. Done!

I am not saying you can’t make money with property investment. Property investment needs more effort.

Of course this is my own personal opinion.

do what you can once you're consistent for a month or two  you will be amazed with yourself. start documenting not only what you learned but also work on concept and prototype.

How long since the last rent hike? How mush then?

If 2y, think it's fair for a hike.

you can increase the subtenant rent 70%.
you can rent out the small room.

this will buy you time to hookup with a lonely single ahsohmakcikshiela or another rental place.

if you can bawak motor or even basikal, then you have more rental options.

don fear the rental increase. things will get better.

kembawang this unker can yamseng with you

unker, kita kawan /k unker ma. dongiup, kipidap.

you are in a better spot than ahjibgor. he had everything, yet he is in jail now. or is he?

What is the Ur current rental Vs market rate?

If he wanna follow market instead of lower. Just move out.

He will rugi more coz need to pay agent fees

So how much he increase? 1300 still reasonable

where is your arear? how big the apartment?
anyway, just move out and rent a room.

Sorry to hear TS, but as stated by fellow forumers, its just business.

My store owner also increase their price 20%. Reason being is the place is already developed, got chagee and family mart in the area. I never pay late, never bother the owner also. So i just continue diam2, and at the same time I'm looking for somewhere else for next year.

I also a house owner, I rented to small kopitiam seller. So far no problem with rent, so I didnt increase the price. For me, its fine, as long as they pay rent on time, then that settle it for me.

As for u, I proposed u rent a room first for a while, maybe 4-6 months. at the same time, u can look for house to rent.

If you can find a job at your hometown and work from home, might as well go back to your hometown.

ayam thinking of looking for room tenant & just rent out this room of my late parent house i currently living in. Unable to rent to Type M due to got altar in living room.

Lower price/mnth if early move-in because i still clearing off the room (80% kosong dy.) before fixing those kupas paint. if one don't mind i masuk fixing them from time to time. One person can only do so much.

distance to Sri Raya MRT about (1km ; 12min walk) i can tolong drop-off also kalau kena bertolak dalam 7.00~8.45am range for work.

Wifi sudah ada, kitchen EQ/aapliance ada, share share pakai je pun i tak kisah sangat. anggap the Room rent is to offset the future expenses to fix/buy appliance and stuff.

just a b40 flat only. no lift, 3rd floor. Whole unit rent for this place is around rm700~900/mnth but since i cannot rent whole unit, only can rent 1 room that i no use for now, average usually rm350~500 for an empty room with no kitchen appliances and all. But because the room is in kemas-kemas progress, i thinking of don't want many headache and just slap rm250 for semi-empty for any early move-in & stay at that rate la kot even after done the kemas-kemas & re-cantik balik the room and lasts until the person decide to ciao, then only the average market rate kicks in for next willing tenant.

tldr is if tenant don't mind the following in room of current if early move-in :-

- AC takda. Room with jalousie window type not suitable for A/C. very waste.
- Existing Wardrobe still stays but dalam will kosong. tenant can recycle pakai after i lap kasi bersih-bersih inside. kalau tak mau, then i have to dispose which need time.
- Got a Tiered-Open storage rack. this stays. tenant can use it if want.
- Got stacks of floor tiles in the corner of the room for far future renovation use for 1 of the room  no budget to do at the moment. Still got room to put in single/super single size katil/tilam.
- Living room still in a mess at the moment still in clearing mode.
- Kitchen & Bath, just typical average bachelor level of tidiness.
- Just share-share pay electricity & internet only (owner 70%, tenant 30% respectively. total of both charges combined pun below rm180 je.)
- Kitchen appliance as mentioned earlier post. Mau tumpang pakai pun boleh je asalkan jangan kasar sangat pakai.

now rental market heavily favor B40.

Sign 2 years TA. then nego lower rent first. owner refuse just go hunt new unit.

You just need to keep yourself light. dont buy many unnecessary stuff so u can shift to new place easily. Damn a lot of surplus unit waiting to be rented out.

where are you renting?

Can you sublet out the extra rooms?

This is pretty good for you uncle TS

Should be nearby the area that you're currently staying in also

kk, make it as last option i guess. Coz i still haven't get greenlight from my brothers to rent out.
