I would like to share my misfortune of encountering someone by the name of Hasbullah. He works as a marketing agent for different companies, one of them is Blue Sky Crew Academy.

I had rooms for rent in a condo located at Alam Damai area in Cheras, near Kuala Lumpur. I advertised those rooms for rent online. Hasbullah contacted me one day saying that he was interested to rent a room. After some time, he agreed to rent the room but I have to wait until 7th or 8th November 2018 when he would receive his salary so that he can pay me the deposit and advance rent just before moving in. I asked him to send me a copy of his IC for me to prepare the tenancy agreement, which he agreed. Usually he would answer my calls when I call him.

Anyway, despite two reminders by Whatsapp, he failed to send me the copy of his IC or even reply my Whatsapp messages. Then I tried to call him but he would not answer my calls, even on 7th or 8th November 2018 when he was suppose to move in. I tried to call him on 9th and 10th November 2018 without success either.

This Hasbullah has shown himself to be an untrustworthy person. He is the kind of person who would string you along if he can get away with it. I would urge anyone dealing with him to exercise caution.

Bad tenant in Muhammad Faiq from Melaka (mobile number: 011-26609952)

I would like to share my experience with a former bad tenant of mine. His name is Muhammad Faiq Bin Mohd Ramli from Melaka who works for GGS Global Sdn Bhd, a contractor in the construction industry.

He rented a room from me on a 1 year tenancy agreement in a condo in Cheras. Instead of 2 months deposit + 1 month advance rent, he negotiated with me for 1 month deposit + 1 month advance rent. Anyway, just after one month of stay, when I asked for the monthly rent, he said that he has family matters in Melaka and gave excuses that he hasn't gone back to Melaka for quite some time so he can't continue with his stay and tenancy agreement of 1 year.

If a tenant insists on leaving, it's hard to force him to stay and keep to the tenancy agreement. Anyway, he left but he didn't meet me one on one to do a proper handover. He did not leave cleanly. He left a few items in the room including his two dirty pillows, bedsheet and two pieces of clothes. I had to discard all away. Also, for some reason, the room didn't smell good but I am not sure whether it was body odour or some other source of smell.

Anyway, please beware of this Muhammad Faiq Bin Mohd Ramli. His phone number is 011-26609952 and his IC number is 981120-04-5029 and he is from Sempang Ampat in Alor Gajah, Melaka. If you ever encounter him, I don't think you should rent a room or house to him. Or at least make sure that you charge him a 3-month deposit, besides the advance rent. Some tenants can be more trouble than worthwhile.
