U should bring the contract & consult a lawyer fren (if u have any).

bro, if he dont pay for utilities daposit such as water and electirc, u can always ask the tnb ppl to remove the meter.

the thing is that the tenant don't use any electricity or water? do i correct? so why he pay for all the deposit..


ignore that.. TS.. pls check in term condition regarding the termination of the contract.. any condition that triggered the termination of the contract... that is what u need now.. then post it we discuss..

since tenant prepare the contract.. u better watch out for term that he use.. term that might favor him as a tenant.. as no clause of termination

How much u take for deposit? 2 months rental i advance?

* just to add.. it is a simple thing for certain people.. u don;t pay u get out.. it my property.. well sometimes it that not easy.. honestly.. once again if u play hard on them.. they also can play hard on you

justice is not about who is right and who is wrong.. is about how good u manipulate facts..

if u opt to sue him.. mmmm.. u might want to consider not only cost lawyer will charge u bu

1. ur time waste..
2. it going to be long process
3. at the end.. u suffer to know that.. the tenant actually has it right..

Bro FYI he use my electric only but water he don use cos water meter haven install for long time.I have check at TNB my account got around 1 month ++ not paid about rm 40.Agreement for 2 year n deposit 2 month.

from the beginning when sign the contract, he should pay u the utilities deposit which i think every laywer will include this in as a standard.

for me, i will let my lawyer have a look at the contract agreemeent , u know la, sometimes they have those SUPER WORD that some of us dont understand, after my lawyer explain to me and only agree i will go and proceed to sign at the tenant lawyer opis.

i had an experience once being sued. if u wanna sue this type of thing, should be at civil court.

the guy who sued me paid only rm28 i think. (since in the legal letter say i must pay for her "cost" . rm28)

no need lawyer lor. just bring evidence (black and white) and present your case to the judge.

anyway, i did won my case.

TS, u want the unpaid rental OR u want the tenant out?

i consult to my friend last night and this is the thing that u might want to make it fast..

do you know what type of thing he store inside ur property??

beware...u are legal owner of the building and if there is any illegal activities there. (drug processing lab, pirate VCD, control stock i.e sugar, cooking oil)..

police will search u first..

thing to ponder..

Another person talking crap and giving bad advice it's been noted many times, your course of action will not amount to anything because the police will not get involved period!

Also you cannot eradicate a tenant... it's illegal to eradicate a person!

Correct don't break into the premise or remove items.

Quote one of my earlier posts from different thread:



Always the right step it to engage the services of a good lawyer. Do not take the law into your own hands.

Police will not get involved in such cases; enforcement of contracts is not under their purview.

Did you terminate your own meter so your tenant can re-apply?

First the teenant said give him 2 week time to apply new meter n i said ok lo but after that i call him he said no time go to apply cos busy,so i wanna cut the electricity cos agreement said he apply himself n ask my fren cos he know little about law but he said it is illegal.

good info from aaron.. thanks.. r u working with legal firm

Firstly as an owner you have rights, have you taken steps to protect those rights, rental agreement stamped by a commissioner of oaths? The normal stamp duty is around RM20.00 plus some misc. extras.

Secondly you should have made arrangements to cut the meter ASAP in keeping with the agreement instead of allowing the tenant to continue.

Third your friend is right the law in Malaysia is pro-tenant.

Often the legal option is to go with "Distress Act 1951 (Revised 1981)"

EDIT: Please consult a qualified lawyer, my post does not constitute legal advice

Nope not a lawyer, IT by profession and former tenant/landlord
