just in case, if bought a lelong property.

how to.chase out d occupier if they refuse to move out? other than d court order which is expensive and time consuming

hire lawyer plus pulis :X

Can hire muscle to pull them out? Is that even legal

Follow the phrase might is right, & you will be all right

rent to him

Need a court order.

Expensive but legal.

If forcefully evicted, the occupier can sue back leading to more expenses.

Consult a lawyer for this.

pay them to leave

Hire some 'legal entity' to do the job normal people like us cant do, and make sure they undertake all legal liability with whatever they want to do.
This is a more effective way to deal with people like this.

How about hiring someone to do the chasing jobs??

Legalize way could be time consuming & also more $$$.... If you're willing to take that route

Whichever route u take, ensure that the occupier sign the letter to vacate voluntary to protect yourself. Otherwise, in months or years later, the occupier can sue u back.

That's why banks cannot simply kick anyone out especially after they defaulted on the loan. This is true for residential properties which has higher protection for tenants.

If commercial properties, u can kick them out legally with just a simple letter and lock change. That's what my lawyer said some time back.

Only residential, u at the mercy of the tenant. That's why some owners would prefer the court order route which is not only expensive but legal.

buy a lock, nothing wrong in locking ur own house right?
