I just got notified by my Hong Kong landlord that they are increasing my rent by 20 percent to match the market rate. I just finished my fixed period of rent and flexible period will start. During contract signing nothing of this sort was mentioned. I understand that I got below market rate rent only because the condition of house given to me was pathetic so I had to repair it by my own pocket. But as my fixed period ended they increased the rent by 20 percent. I just want to know if this is allowed and how can I fight it or just accept the new rent ?

Hi I am planning Sabah trip with my infants in November which will be our first trip with babies. We are flying from Hong Kong. I plan to stay for week but mostly in a resort and rent a car to visit places. As we got babies we won’t be traveling too far. I want suggestions regarding places within 100 km from KK driving distance. My question is how convenient or safe Sabah is for babies? As I am planning to drive, is it recommended? I have driven before in Malaysia but in and around KL and melacca. I just want to keep my young family safe. For example is help readily available if car breaks down? Any emergency number I can use? I wish to cover following:

1. Kundasan
2. Fire fly boat tours
3. Tip of Borneo.
4. Explore KK

Rest of the time I will be in resort chilling. Any suggestions from those who have already done this kind of trip to Sabah with Babies?

This happened with me thrice in last one month. Every time I asked a technician to come and check an equipment which is not working, after having a look they straight away tell me to buy a new one instead of repairing. Whenever I asked them to repair instead they quote much higher price than a buying new one. Is this a Hong Kong thing ? This is sham because Hong Kong has a waste problem and they are contributing to it. How do they even earn money if they just want you to buy a new one instead.
