ISKANDAR PUTERI: A total of 1,238 residents in the People’s Housing Project (PPR) and Government Rental Houses (RSK) in Johor have been issued a 14-day notice to vacate their premises after they were found to have flouted the stipulated terms and conditions.
State housing and local government committee chairman Jafni Shukor said the action was taken after they updated the agreement documents and profiling of 19,632 housing units, involving 15 PPR and seven RSK since 2022.
“We have completed the profiling of 97% of housing units and identified 1,238 residents who have violated the conditions, including 613 who sublet their units.
“They were allowed to use the premises for a monthly rental of RM250 but the 613 rented them out to third parties for an amount several times more than that.
“So, all these residents have been issued notices.
“If they are adamant, we will ask them to leave with the help of police or by cutting off the water supply,” he told reporters outside the Johor state legislative assembly in Kota Iskandar here today.
He said this was not a new issue and the state government was committed to ensuring every PPR and RSK housing unit provided is occupied only by those who are eligible.
“This doesn’t happen only in Johor but in every state with such housing facilities.
“These premises are specifically meant for families with a household income of RM3,000 and below.
“For those earning more than RM3,000, they should apply for Johor Affordable Home (RMMJ) premises.”
He said the issue of subletting is being given serious emphasis, in addition to payment of rental arrears and illegal utility connections. - FMT
