im a locksmith and i seen this cases daily,(if your tenant is under contract) what i advice is first make a police report, then bring some heavy duty locks, those in ipoh can pm me for info, hhehee...

lock up ur place tightly, and put the copy of police report and a notice, "PLEASE CONTACT ME TO ENTER HOUSE" once he did , ask him to move out now or clear up the rent,

bear in mind to go with someone, best is kasi duit kopi ahem, and ask a police to follow u,

this will settle nicely and legally,

iit might seems cruel but that by the book, imho its already good enough if he or she owes u months and months of rent and  been dodging u
as for new owner that wanted to rent house here's a tips take 2 months deposit, install prepaid electric meter and monitor the water meter monthly.
also the most important is to take in keys and lock deposit, eg i pass him a set of keys and must obtain the same amount back including condition of all the locks and door are not broken .

This is the correct method.
Yet many forumers giving bad advise and could land the landloard in deep shit.

if really go to court also nvm. During the waiting period, just go to TNB cut electricity, then tell management to stop water supply, see wanna go out or not.

lol, don't mess with your tenant, otherwise you just make yourself(landlord) suffer. 


I will try to manage it in a legal method first, not "mess up" with the tenant in the first place.




Eg, the tenant will
1) dirty the place
2) destroy the furnitures and fittings etc

before he leaves....
and one more 'creative idea' which is

local the door
lock the bike
lock the car
then double lock everything
big thick chain
then..
find a horse's head....

Once a liar, always a liar.
Do not trust people who cannot pay on time.

I agree...

The spoiler contains criticism. Do not open if you cannot accept it.

Unless the lease is clearly stated upon 2 weeks late payment.
Doors would be shut, tenant forfeit all deposit, all personal stuff in the property would be sold off to reclaim lost income.

are you willing to spend more money on the legal fees or just use those money to renovate your premise? 

not to say tolerate but at least keep a good relationship with your tenant.  you can forfeit the tenant's forfeit but don't do something 'extreme' and make him angry, in the end yourself(landlord) suffer 

Yes..   I agree

I need to chase for rent from my tenant almost every month,
it is almost "like no chase no rent"...     very tiring...


due to the above matters, nowadays some landlords are very fussy in choosing his tenants.  he would rather keep it vacant rather than renting it out to some weirdos or strangers 


Ha.. I agree with you 100%... 

It is really not worth it to rent the premises to an irresponsible tenant..

haha.. same thing happened on my frend too. U can get help from some fat indian man to ask your tenant to move out. 

even now my mum also scare jor... said need to ask for 2 months liaw .. lolz
jn called my friend (lawyer) and he recommended me to apply from magistrate court since the amount involved is less than rm 5K ..
hehe ... apply for garnishing and auto transfer from his salary monthly hmm ... getting back the money is not the most happiest thing for me but to make him realize that cheating is not a good practice and force him to pay me back is the main reason for me now.. wakaka
hope it works tat way
