Im staying at Prima Setapak Condo at jalan genting kelang. I am a mere housemate who was forced to leave the house by the houseleader and his girlfriend to whom i had disputes. He forcing me to leave before August without paying back my deposits unless i can find a person to replace me before August. We had dispute on 28th July and unable to find anyone to replace me.
He told me that he have the contract with the houselord, and the contract is in his name, my name is absent, the house is rented to him and im merely a sub-tenant. I have no document to show that he had received my deposits, but it is common but i would call it, it is a must to pay 2 months deposits and utilities before moving in. It is only the matter of common sense as everybody know this fact. But lacking document is a great disadvantage.
All other housemates had advice me not to move out, because it is clearly not my fault to have dispute with them, and both of them have bad relations with all the housemates. My housemates had agree not to let him forcibly remove me from the house.
But the fact is, the house is clearly rented to him, in his name, not ours. ALl of us are merely sub-tenant. I have live here since May this year. So far is in peace, im avoiding any argument with them and doesn't want to have any conversation with them neither moving out, unless i find a person to replace me or he give back my deposits and i will leave. So far he has mentioned many times that if i don't want to move out, he will call the police or security guard to escort me out. I wonder if he has the legal right to do so.
I hope Lwyerment could give me advice on the issues. All my deposits amounted to RM517 is a lot to me since i'm only a student, they as well. I really hope i'm being a sub-tenant, having the support of all other sub-tenants and having paid all the rental and utilities received full protection regarding the issues, that i could not be removed forcibly.
Thank You for reading my message, hope to hear from you soon. = )
I had sent a message just now but forget to include that, although i lost the resit, but i had retrieved a printed paper from his place secretly, that shown how much money i had paid to him, without his consent. It is a monthly statement that he will pinned on the board of the house to show us clearly how much we need to pay and paid for what. I have the document with me to prove that i had pay all the deposit. I has yet to show to him, but use it as a last resort because i know that he is very cunning, and will argue that he has paid me at the end. I wish to have all the housemate or the security guard to hear from him that i didn't pay the deposit and not that he had paid me, in order to have solid witness to prevent further argument. Thank you for reading my message, any help from you will be extremely appreciated.
