I'm kinda opposite to you guys, I'm a landlady having this prob, I don't know how to deal with my tenant. Need advise...
My dad rented out his house cheaply 14+ years ago to this malay couple with RM380 per month for double storey house because pity them being poor. The rent is 500++ at that area till now is still 500-600 but we rented out at 380 still.

My dad passed away 3 years ago and I have to take over this thing. Since my dad never chase them for late rent, they sometimes pay late, and worst, during 2 year++ before my dad passed away, they never pay rent, added up a 6k ++ of debts, saying that they have lost my dad's phone number.

So after my dad passed away I took over and saw the house is in very bad state... termites, ceilings rusty those stuff, they never take care of the house. And I spend a few thousands to get rid of the termites, and it comes back again. Thus, I was advised by the termites exterminator guy not do any new house improvement until the termites is gone from the neighbouring houses as well else it will come back again.

Now the tenant is pressuring me to change the old doors, etc while they're still debting... they paid Rm20-70 extra for the rent per month to cover the old debts. It had been 3 years already. Now they're complaining about the wrecked door. I did make repair on it
but they said need to replace a new one for them and I don't want to replace, they will claim by deducting from the rent. They are still debting but wants more from me? They threatened me saying old house no ppl wanna rent.

I don't think I can stand it any longer. How should I kick them out? Don't need 1-2 months of notice anymore right? I scared they will break my old house more if I say to kick them out. How to chase them to pay debts? Already too good to them. Need some advice.
