Location of House/Room Rent : taman melati, melati utama

Problem Encountered : i don't understand the mentality of malaysians. i don't mean to offend the nice chinese friends that i have, but finding a room here has been hell for me! i first moved out of pv3 because i had a crazy housemate there who used to abuse his girlfriend (not that we didn't do anythin, but the girl refused to admit, so there wasn't much we could do).
it was so hard to find another room because i am NOT chinese. after only a month staying at pv6, i was informed that i had freaking 2 WEEKS to move out of the condo since the house owner had sold the house. as far as i know, the contract is two ways, since when did the houseowner reserve the right to revoke the contract as and when he liked? it is really unfair towards us.

now the problem starts again, it's not like there aren't any rooms available at all at pv6, but the people whom i've called up always deny after finding out i am indian. since when did being indian become a crime?

i don't blame them if they've had a bad experience after living with an indian housemate, but some people are just racist to the max! they won't even give others a chance. at least look at the person and then judge there on after. i daresay that not all indians are as bad as you think and not all chinese are as nice as u think. heck, the guy who beat up his gf at my former house was CHINESE. and people think that wife-beating is an indian culture.

if i had somewhere ELSE to report all these, i'd definitely do it, along with all the names of the racist people whom i've come across. you may say that i'm worked up over a very small matter, but put yourself in my shoes. what if you were in a community filled with indians, such as that in aimst, and all the indians told u that they didn't want a chinese housemate?

i hope that someone will reply to my post and give me a solution, or at least explain to me what this whole hype about NOT living with an indian is about.

Landlord/Landlady Involved : Mr Low (house owner) and Alex (chief tenant) Jenny (agent)
Location of House/Room Rent : 12C-08, PV6, Platinum Hill Condo, Taman Melati Utama.

Problem Encountered : I moved in last Dec, and paid a deposit of 2 months rental plus 150 for utilities. On January 10th, the chief tenant told me that I HAD to move out before CNY because the owner sold the house. Hence, the complain above. HOwever, I finally managed to get a room and I had also paid one month's rental to secure that room. I asked the chief tenant when I could get back my deposit and he told me that he'd refund me the day I move out. However, a week after that, he told me that I could stay till end of FEB but I DID NOT HAVE TO PAY RENT. He did not mention that he will deduct the rental from my deposit. I acknowledged it thinking that it would not affect me since I'm movin out.

After CNY, he went missing. I did my part of the agreement by moving out, hoping that he'd refund me my deposit so I can pay the rest of the deposit for my new room. the chief tenant not only refused to refund me, he also accused me of blaming him when I was merely speaking nicely to him. Not only that, he was also being very rude to me.

Since he did not understand my message, i decided to call up the owner who apprently didn't understand english as well. When I told him that I was moving out, he clearly didn't understand because he told me "don't worry, u can stay till feb". Alex oso told me that he was coming back on the 4th of feb and that he'd settle everything. three other housemates and I have been waiting for him but he has yet to show. We suspect that he also has a share in this profit.

There are a lot of clauses in the tenancy agreement that both the owner and the chief tenant have broken that involves rental. They have obviously gone missing with our money. We will lodge a police report. Does anyone know where else we can report to?

pls don deal with these people as they are clearly wiling to do anything to cheat other people's money despite the fact that the profits from the sale of the house would bring in a much higher income.
