Do You Know As A Landlords You Cannot Enter Your Rented Premises Without A Court Order?

.

Even Your Tenant Do  Not Pay Rental!

.

If your tenant never paid your Property Rental, as a Landlords, you Got NO RIGHT to remove your tenant belonging at your will or even enter the properties.

It is reported that some Landlords who do so was face with faced police reports and the tenant instead demands for compensation!

You may even end up in the jail.

The only way for the Landlords to access the properties is to get a court order. This is definitely will take a lot of cost and time in order to get off a bad tenants!

I think this the law loophole when come to Landlords and Tenant relationship. The government must do something to protect the interest of parties concern.

Landlords pay for tenants’ debts

By SHERYL CHIENG

KUALA LUMPUR: Landlords are now saddled with problems caused by tenants who borrow money from Ah Longs and disappear, said MCA Complaints Bureau chief Datuk Michael Chong.

There have been 32 such cases this year, where Ah Longs turning on landlords and vandalising the premises instead of chasing after the guilty tenants.

“In four of these cases, landlords who removed their tenants’ belongings faced police reports and demands for compensation.

“These landlords not only had to compensate the tenants, they spent a few days in the lockup,” he told a press conference at Wisma MCA yesterday.

In order to remove a tenant’s belongings, Chong said, landlords required a court order which could take six months and cost up to a few thousand ringgit.

One of those affected is Chow Keen Seng who rented a unit of his three-storey shoplot to a tailor named Pong.

Pong disappeared in May, having locked the unit with her belongings inside, and the 28-year-old supervisor has been plagued by Ah Longs showing up at his doorstep ever since.

These Ah Longs had vandalised Chow’s shop­lot, smashed pipes and pasted messages with “liar” or “con woman” all over the premises.

Chow appealed to the Ah Longs to look for Pong and not trouble Chow as he was not responsible for her debt.

Chong advised landlords not to enter their rented premises without a court order as they could be arrested for trespassing.
