Clear, decisive representation for landlords and property owners — from notice through to recovery of possession.
Eviction is rarely the first conversation a landlord wants to have. When it becomes necessary, the work is procedural, time-sensitive, and unforgiving of mistakes.
We act for residential and commercial landlords across the Klang Valley, advising on the right route — and the right pace — for recovering possession. Where pre-action steps can resolve a matter, we'll say so. Where they can't, we move.
Most matters move through a recognisable sequence: a careful review of the tenancy documents, the right notice properly served, and — where the tenant doesn't respond — the appropriate court action. We map out the steps and the likely timeline before we take instructions, so you know what you're committing to.
An undefended summary possession matter can resolve in a matter of weeks once notice periods expire. A defended matter takes longer — sometimes considerably so. We'll give you an honest estimate based on the facts in front of us.
Individual landlords with one or two properties. Property investors with growing portfolios. Commercial landlords managing office, retail, or industrial space. Owners' associations dealing with persistent occupiers.
We have acted as external counsel for Speedhome.com, managing tenancy disputes and legal enforcement against tenants refusing to vacate upon contract expiry — covering demand issuance, court action, and full legal eviction management in compliance with Malaysian tenancy law. This kind of work calls for speed, procedural discipline, and clear communication with the client at every stage.
It depends on whether the tenant defends the action. An undefended matter can resolve within several weeks of expiry of the notice period. A defended matter — particularly one raising counterclaims — may take months. We'll give a realistic estimate after reviewing the tenancy documents.
No. Self-help eviction without a court order is unlawful in Malaysia and exposes the landlord to a claim. The proper route is notice followed by court proceedings, or — in appropriate cases — distress action.
Distress is a statutory remedy under the Distress Act 1951 that allows a landlord, with the court's leave, to seize the tenant's movable property on the premises in satisfaction of unpaid rent. It is procedural and tightly time-bound. We can advise whether it is appropriate in your situation.
It's easier with one, but not impossible without. Oral tenancies can be enforced if their terms can be proved. We'll work with what you have.
Fees depend on the route taken and how the matter unfolds. We give a clear fee estimate at the outset and update you if the position changes. We will not bill surprises.
Bring us the tenancy documents and the timeline. We'll tell you what's possible.
