Pissed.

So my landlord is trying to force me out of my room.

Background information. I'm staying in a double room paying a shared room rental cause my roommate moved out some time ago. There is another room in another block that is in the same situation, but with chain smokers amongst other problems on that particular floor. The landlord also owns a terrace house near TBS, which one shared room will be available by the
end of October.

Now my landlord here is trying his hardest to "consolidate" these 2 rooms, which was what I thought was me moving to the other room or another person moving into my room. So far its understandable. But the fact is, his idea of "consolidating" is me moving to the other room, no other solution.

About 2 weeks ago we chatted, then he was an understanding figure and all smiles, saying that I'm "mature" and "can think and express myself". I told him CLEARLY that I'm reluctant to move the other block, with reasons I stated above, so it was decided that I will move into the terrace at the end of October.

Now he switched his face the speed of shit coming out of your anus when you have stomach ache, and suddenly labelled me as "selfish". Apparently this sudden change of attitude is caused by a couple of female students who are interested in renting my room. He then spewed bullshit like he's been "tolerating" my presence in the room and losing revenue, when the fact is that he just hasn't found someone who wanted to rent my room before. If he had found a tenant, I would be
typing this post 2 months ago. And if he's really the saint he claimed he was, he would well tolerate me for another one month until I move to the terrace, a point he refused point blank to accept. He said he's a businessman, he take's risks, when what he's doing is exactly opposite, he cant take the risk to wait one more month. Not to blame him for that, but the least he could do is try not to fool me with terms like "RISK" which he thinks will intimidate me. He also hinted that I forced my roommate to leave, a premise he could certainly use to claim that this
is a all trick of mine to get a room all to myself in the future.

I told him explicitly before that I'm reluctant to shift to the other room, cause of the smoking activities there and late night football parties. He said it's okay, it's just for one month before I move to the terrace house. I told him its exactly because its one month that its not feasible for me, as this would mean I have to move TWICE during AS FINAL EXAMINATIONS. He refused that point without reason as well, and start starting bullshit again. For example, HE started to preach to me the philosophy of studying, quote "It's all in the head, environment doesn't
matter. you study in lecture hall, you study in library, you still study." unquote. Everyone can score then, no matter they are in CC or screwing around in the jamban. Then he revealed the fact that he's only showing potential tenants MY room, not the other room in the other block, which shows he's determined to move only me. I made the conventional mistake of a naive person, saying it is unfair. He jumped on it like he's waiting for me to say that for a lifetime, and started to give examples of Chinese getting ill treated in Malaysia, warning me in the end not
to mention this word "fair". I told him the world will never be fair, but you can at least try to be fair to the people around you instead of imposing unfairness upon other people with the excuse "The world aint fair". He walked away. He seemed to have forgetten that he told me to be fair and consider his position, as if I dont understand. He's losing opportunity. He also tried to get away with a feeble and totally flawed point. "People who come looking for room isn't like shopping. I can't show him all the rooms". I'll like to remind you once again, he currently have
only TWO rooms not hundreds, how hard is it to show the girls another one? And people who come to look for rooms are actually SHOPPING for rooms. I tried to be fair with him, and in return earning a "you-totally-deserve-to-eat-shit face" from him. When he came back, I told him the discussion will go no where as it seems that he's already decided to move me, regardless of what I say. He switched track immediately, claiming that he could somehow make a change and the girls could stay in the another block. Amazing speed, showing just how much he
told me were actually contemporary lies.

He even tried more bullshit on me after that. Let me remind you right now that I might have naive believes and aspirations, but I'm really not that stupid. He said exactly, quote "The moment you choose a sharing room, you have no right to choose which room you want" unquote. And he told me an opposite thing during our last tete-a-tete, even critising INTI dorms, that in their dorms, they get switched around without having the right to speak, and saying that for him, all his rooms are different and unique, and that different tenants can choose their rooms according to preference. Last I remember, the contract was signed under the premise of a shared room, and that particular room. I don't remember handing him any right of mine during the formation of the contract.

There were more bullshits after that, but I was tired, and with my mental filter up, I couldnt catch anything other than those furiosly ridiculous cowcraps.

I feel really sick with anger now, yes I have dealt with people like this many times before, hence my ability to remain calm and diplomatic with him even when he is downright rude to me, but I still really can't stand shit like this. The instantanious change of attitude, the bullshit he thinks is fooling me, his extremely UNFAIR (I have no bloody problem saying this, I'm not fighting for justice in this world, but I at least try to practise this with friends, hoping the world isnt as wretched as it is made out to be) way of dealing with matters, his absolute resolve not to listen to what I have to say or consider my position, it pisses me off.

PS: Excuse me for my language, but I'm really pissed now. I know it isn't a very good reason, but it somehow feels liberating, and I think I deserve a little bit of that right now.


Okay so he invited me down again to chat, this time with the tenant from the other room. We chatted, and both of us do not want to move as well. The tenant pointed out that when we rented the room, we wanted THAT room. It's the responsibility of the landlord to fill up the place, that's what I call risk, not knowing whether you will have tenants but still investing in the business. Now, since our dear landlord can't find single roommates for us, he ended up pushing the responsibility to us. He gave us an ultimatum, "You two are to decide who will move and I don't care what you do to decide. I want the answer tomorrow 12pm", even after we presented our arguments. He always get himself out of tricky spots saying, "You cannot say that la, it's all give and take", and look whose talking. When I came to Subang, my main concern is my A-Levels, not solving some problem for my landlord, but yet I spent the whole evening listening to him talking totally unrelated issues, trying to catch me off guard by suddenly shooting me with a, "Don't try to be so difficult la", "Don't worry so much la", "Try to give and take la", "Don't be selfish la" nonsense. He totally did not want to try to understand. This is his argument, he thinks that he actually "accommodated" us for the past few months, but the fact is simple. He did not manage to find single roommates for us, actually not even a single person. But now he's trying to give us the impression that he did us a favour, and now it's time to return it. Bullshit.

PSS: I suck. If you want to know, I barely passed my Chem, so much for getting a B. Sien.
