For Rent

Seems like looking for a tenant is not easy at all. With the help of SK and my renovator, three agents were roped in. So far, two have proven to be unprofessional. Agent M found me three female tenants. They had requested for at least two water heaters to be installed but on the other hand were prepared to pay more for it. Agent M said:

"Aiyah, if you don't put heater hor, also can't stop the tenant for putting it themselves lo."

I was flabbergasted. Is the tenancy agreement just a piece of paper? What kind of tenants is she recommending to me le? Agent Y on the other hand found me a newly-wed Malay couple:

"I need to bring them see the house la wor. You gave the renovator the key ah? See how la, I find a way to go into the apartment."

Another nut case! Was he trying to break into my apartment?! Goodness. Between the Chinese girls and the Malay couple, I favour the Chinese. I just feel that the former have more paying power, although I am certain the Malay couple will take better care of the place. Hard to say also sometimes. Agent M assured me:

"The three girls have proper work! Don't worry!"

Proper work? Turns out they are beauticians. But that doesn't mean they won't have drunken orgies at home. Would be good if I can check CCRIS for potential tenants. :P. Anyway, Agen R still hasn't gotten back to me. And it seems that the three beauticians aren't too keen. Very thankful that SK just stays downstairs and helped me settle a lot of these problems. She's a God-send!

Anyone looking to rent an apartment?
