They included six units at the Taman Manggis project on Lorong Selamat which were repossessed yesterday because their tenants owed rental arrears of between RM1,240 and RM3,968. Breaking in: A contract worker breaking the lock of a unit at the Taman Manggis flats in George Town. State Town and Country Planning, Housing and Arts Committee chairman Wong Hon Wai warned that the state would continue to repossess units occupied by errant tenants. He said the state housing department was monitoring the pro- jects vigilantly to check if tenants breached the tenancy agreement. "Efforts are ongoing but we haven't been highlighting them in the media. Now we want the tenants to know that we are se- rious and will repossess the units if they leave them unoccupied, sublet them or use them as storerooms. "These flats are for the underprivileged earning RM1,500 and below monthly. We want to make sure that only those eligible get to rent them," Wong said. Tenants check: The Taman Manggis flats at Lorong Selamat, George Town. He said these public housing projects were also meant to house squatters affected by the state government's relocation programme. He said officers from the state housing department and welfare department were in the process of interviewing tenants for the repossessed lots. "We have to evaluate the condition of the repossessed units and do the necessary repairs before renting them out again," Wong told reporters during the operation to repossess the units at Taman Manggis. The monthly rental for the Taman Manggis flats is RM124. As reported in Sinchew 黃漢偉：未繳租金或空置單位‧組屋租戶違例破門取締 （檳城）檳州房屋、城市及鄉村規劃委員會主席黃漢偉說，州政府將採取強硬的破門行動，對付未按期繳交租金及空置已久的政府組屋租戶，以示對其他租戶的公平。 被拖欠1700萬租金 他說，檳州政府在州內共建8個出租的組屋區，每單位出租100至124令吉，至今被租戶拖欠累積數額高1千700萬令吉，甚至一些拖欠多年租金的租戶已搬出，使有關單位空置已久，而須重新整頓，讓其他符合資格的居民居住。 黃漢偉昨日（5月31日）率領執行官員，赴平安巷政府組屋對6戶多年未交租金及空置的租戶採取破門的強硬行動後，在新聞發佈會發表上述談話。 違例租戶漠視通知書 他說，據統計，去年至今年5月間，政府當局發現124間的政府組屋單位，未交租金及空置已久，去年為92間，而且，政府當局也發出有關的通知書，但是卻未獲租戶的反應，而迫使政府當局採取強硬的行動。 他指出，其中平安巷政府組屋有320間的單位，共有6間類似的單位，多年未交租金，拖欠租金從1千240令吉至3千968令吉且空置著。 他說，執政官員採取強硬的破門行動，發現其中5單位的租戶已經搬遷，只有1單位尚有居民。他表示，州政府將收回上述未交租金及空置的組屋，以便重新裝修後出租給符合資格的租戶。 星洲日報／大北馬‧2011.05.31 |
