been busy with new house.. deposit here and there & money flow like water! the offer is too good to reject.. i'd experience much hassle looking for a house around KB, so i wont let this golden opportunity slip by..
After being kicked out of quarters, i rented few room at different locations.. the 1st house, i stayed there because the owner promise to give me a more comfortable room but she changed her mind after that. I continue to stay there because a senior Penolong Pegawai Farmasi was there, we went to work together almost everyday until she transferred back to her hometown. It was nice to live with her.. Overall, i treat the room as a place to sleep. Most of the time, i was at living hall, watching tv together with housemates. i dont even bring my notebook or any valuable items together. After she left, the owner decided to place 2 double-decker bed in my room. That's the cue to leave, even hostel students have their own single bed nowadays!
desperate, i rent a room near a school, but the condition of the house was too bad. Dont even have the feeling to boil water/drink water in that room. the ceiling & toilet - no word can describe it.. Often, there were bad smell of cat's poo outside the room or at living room (a lady that rent opposite room love cat so much till she let cats inside!).. to top it off, i discovered that behind the house, there were boys' room! translated, we share the same house, just different entrance! that's why nobody hang out cloth outside the house! Decided to move 3days after that, to a house located behind the hospital, .just 5 minutes' away from punch card! i found that house through a Penolong Pegawai Farmasi trainee. Rent a room, can say that i'm comfortable with the condition of the room but the owner, ........ (fill in the blank yourself - what you will do when the owner asked you to pay certain amount of money without showing you the bills (electric & water)??? before that, she even asked me to pay RM650 as deposit for a room.. who in their right mind will pay such amount just to rent a small room [not a master bedroom]?? i refused, then she said that she was willing to cut down the price, so we closed the deal.. )
As conclusion, most of the owners suck! hard to get good owners.. There were high demands for rooms near hospital, so they dont care much about their tenants. As long as they got their money, the rest werent their problem. Dont expect them to fix any broken things eg the pipe & so on.. talking about the cost, frankly speaking, the price of a room at KB was much higher than major cities ie KL, Penang, JB & so on.. can get a cheaper price if the location wasnt strategic (certainly not located near a hospital/centre of KB!) but need transport & must be patient to drive through lots of traffic lights before you arrive at the hospital!
For condominium and apartment, most of them ranging from RM450 ( an apartment at level 4 Desa Pondok Indah, no lift, not furnished) to RM1000 (KTC, also not furnished) or rm2000 for fully furnished condo at Pelangi Mall/ KTC but bear in mind, apartment often require 1+2 deposit, need maintenance fees & had limited parking facilities..
