It's been a year since moving to my house which is provided by the company. A couple of weeks the owner called to informed he had sold the house and so I have to look for a new abode and time is running out. There were so many vacant house nearby where I stay but sadly there is no sign board for rent. I failed to understand why did the owners just left the house the way they are now.Some of them are really in a bad shape now. Some are even vandalized. There was one I saw a tree has grown really tall at the back yard. I understand some of these houses were offered to those in the Army. Surely not given free.? Why did they not maintain them and just leave them idle? I am sure they need to service the bank. A week ago I had a look at one of the house not too far from my current house, but the rental was slightly higher and when enquired why the extra price , I was told it was because I am a chinese. Huh? what has renting got to do with races? The explanation was they have to engage a bomoh or Iman to perform some rtitual when I moved out later one. From the looks of it the owner might not be too keen to rent it to a non muslim as he can not call back, even though I told him I was ready to sign the tenancy agreedment.
Well I have less than a month or so to get a new one or else I will have to sleep in my car.

These are just a few of the many houses still not occupied. |
Wish you all the best in finding a suitable house.
ReplyDeleteFeel kinda wasted when the properties are not being used wisely. Think of the ppl who are less fortunate. At least rent out their houses in lower price, rather than leaving the house condition to deteriorate.
Thanks Yvonne . I hope I can find a new place soon too. Yes these people are not wise. I think it is the attitude too, especially if they don't have to come out with their own money,then they just can't be bother. I am not talking about one or two house being in that state. It is almost 4-5 house for every row of houses in the whole housing estate.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you'll find a nice and suitable house soon~
ReplyDeleteGood luck in getting a new home, Johnie. Not many Chinese in that area?
