Hi dear All, Do you have any recommendation for a good iron door grill contractor? Thanks alot

You can give the tenants a list of house rules. You can specified no visitors in the tenancy agreement. Thks

I learn from others that they do set rules like can only use aircon at night or set the temperature at 25 degrees and above. From what you describe i think your bill will increase by at least $100. Some people don't conserve energy as they thought they are not paying. They never give thoughts to other people and the environment. Thks

No they are not related. Dont know if the food suitable or not but the tenant take whatever he wanted to eat himself. He said he liked to eat veg like broccoli and spinach. He threw away the food and drink milk instead if he was hungry. Once the owner offered him some cut avocado but he rejected it as he said he dont eat raw and plain avocado. He only eats japanese style avocado with mayonaise and prawn.

The owner homecooked meals and is kind to provide dinner FOC to the tenant everyday. He will take the food and eat in his room. Sometimes the owner will bring the food to his room. The tenant eats very little rice like 2 spoonful and throw away the rest. He will leave the bowl with unfinished food and soup in the sink. For example, sometimes the owner cooked fried meehoon, he will just eat the veg and leave behind the whole bowl of unfinished beehoon. He requested for more veg to be cooked. He said he ate very little rice but a lots of vegetables and he was always hungry after the meal. Once, he only took a few sips of Korean ginseng soup and leave three-quarter unfinished bowl of soup in the sink. They are top-graded 6 years ginseng bought from Korea! What do you think?

I also got client who had a tenant who every few minutes will come out of his room to take drinking water, boil water and take ice cubes, wash his water bottle, plates and cups. He usually takes five minutes to wash one cup with lots of water and washing detergent. He will turn on the tap at full blash and use a long brush to scrub his things. After he did all his washing, refilling of water, boiling and everything, the whole kitchen table and floor will be full with water and soap. the water even drip all the way into the drawers and cupboards underneath. The worst part is that they are all made of wood and nicely maintained. Even when he refil the thermal flask with hot water the area around the flask will be full of water. When he try refill the water in the ice case, the whole floor from the sink to the refrigerater will be wet and the freezer compartment also wet and the frige also wet with dripping water. When he peel and cut the apple skin the whole floor also full of skin peels. Once the owner offered him a cut piece of apple with skin. He immediately go inside the kitchen to peel off the skin. He only knows how to switch on the lights without switching off after using. When he came back and the house light was not on, he will turn on the lights all the way to his room. For example there is four switches on the socket bar, he will at one time switch on all four lights. He even left the iron on without switching off. The same apply to electric kettle. He also cant be bothered to switch off the internet wireless modem after use in the nights. However when the owner put the modem inside his room for his convenient use, he will switch it off when not using cos he scared of radiation. He also asked the owner to get water filter as he felt the singapore not clean. He changes and washes his pillow case everyday and washes a lot of clothes. Dear all what do you think of the tenant?

Yes... it takes time. The owner also had a hard time "screening" those viewing the place and reject those unsuitable. Some would ask " you mean you choose the tenants?". The best part of it was the Hong Kong tenant. He only asked two questions: "Do you find me ok?" and " How much is the deposit to reserve the room?". Immediately, he took out cash and paid one month deposit. Some are really fussy asked a lot of questions like how many people, who stay here? what they doing? how old? dont want this table....chair no good, bed too small, matress old.... Always choose those that are humble and polite.

Hi dear all after reading all your stories.... i have some stories to share too. I got a client rent two of the rooms to a Japanese and Hong Kong dentist. The Japanese usually leave early in the morning for work and come back late after 10pm. He set the aircon at temperature 27 to 28 degrees. He keeps his room very clean and even helps to wash the common toilet and bathroom really clean every week (more clean and sparkling than own master bedroom). He even buys his own cleaning products, blue toilet tablets and helps to mend the sink. He offen goes oversea trips and buys back really good & expensive souveneir like Japan tea set & dessert & chocolate. He also very environment care and recycle papers & plastic using the recycle bins The Hong Kong one also comes back late as his clinic open from 9 am to 9 pm daily. He even works on Saturdays & Sundays. He is very afraid of cold so he uses the aircon at 25 degrees or above. As he subscribes to Starhub cable TV All groups unlimited and internet, he even offers to place his additional cable box at the livingroom for the owner to watch, plus internet. Last year he even subscribed to Worldcup channel and told the owner must watch. He also bought lao po bing back for the owner when he returned from HK. Both of them stay in their room all the time. They only wash their laundry once a week. They do not use the kitchen at all and use the bathroom only once a day. Even though the HK smokes, he will go downstairs to smoke. Both of them will automatic pay their rental before the month starts and earlier if they go overseas. Sound great tenants!
