Tenancy Agreement Disputes
“Securing Landlord-Tenant Rights, Eviction Orders & Rental Arrears Recovery”
Overview & Legal Representation
Disputes between landlords and tenants over unpaid rental arrears, unauthorized subletting, property damage, or refusal to vacate upon expiry can cause immense financial stress and immobilize prime real estate assets.
In Malaysia, landlords are strictly prohibited under Section 7(2) of the Specific Relief Act 1950 from taking the law into their own hands—such as forcefully breaking locks, disconnecting utility supplies, or seizing goods without judicial sanction.
Messrs. Low Wah Chin & Co. represents both landlords and tenants across residential, commercial, and industrial property disputes. We issue formal statutory Notices to Quit, institute distress actions under the Distress Act 1951 to seize defaulting tenant assets for rental arrears, and secure expedited High Court and Sessions Court eviction orders for vacant possession with mesne profits.
