golden_eagle 2nd Gear February 18, 2018 Share February 18, 2018 I saw many ads of condo units with tenancy, it may be good to have some rental income during that interval but are there any catch with such arrangements? For example tenant spoil furniture, not willing to move out or what are the major catches one should look out for? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury1 Turbocharged February 18, 2018 Share February 18, 2018 I bought a really old condo with a tenant of about 8 years, pros were the tenant was long term and stayed with me for another 3 years (still ongoing). Cons were the condo was rented furnished so I had to replace any thing that was broken which were air con and washing machine and replaced a sink. As for the things you mentioned tenant not wanting to move out etc that is just heng xuay, but I thought about this also and had a personal chat with the tenant about his situation and also the condition of the apartment what I had to look out for decided he was a good chap and bought the place at a good price too ahem You might want to get the contacts of the agent that brokered the deal if there was one.

That's quite an unusual contract. Usually if the tenant breaks anything they have to replace it. And service the aircon 4 times a year and clean the curtain twice a year etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic February 24, 2018 Share February 24, 2018 If get this kind of tenant then have to be very careful. If cannot pay rental at the end of the month then have to think very hard on how to get them to make payment. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it's a wealthy country. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
