I’m gonna be so dead broke
I’m paying $400 per month for my rental!!!
Yep, I’ve just rented a new flat at $1400 per month, which is considered a good bargain since it’s newly-renovated, near MRT and fully-furnished with air-con.
Honestly, far too expensive. Paying $400 per month, not including Electricity and water bill, broadband services and bla bla bla. Hence, $500 automatically deducted from my salary each month…..
And…..the agents here are so fatly loaded with money. They received one month commission ($1400) since we’re signing a two years contract, not only from us, but also one month commission from the owner, hence a total of $2800.
AND…. we were asked to pay on the spot. 2 months deposit for the owner and 1 month commission for the agent, right after we agreed to rent the house. We said what’s the rush?? They replied
‘
"STANDARD PROCEDURES ARE LIKE TAT!"
‘
When we said we didn’t bring enough cash, they replied
‘
"We can drive you guys to the ATM machine."
‘
Macam robbery…..
Finally, we paid half a month commission first and another half when we got the keys. And two months deposit to the owner.
Dead broke….I needed more xtra cash….
Anyone willing to spare me some…?
