Be careful of who you rent flats from

I rented out a full unit at Block 142, unit #08-10,Rivervale Crescent-540142 in Sengkang on 7th April 2007 and finally moved into the house on 10th April with my family. I got this unit from a person called Nick,I came to know that his real indian name was Naresh, not fully sure though, from Roof Property Pte Ltd, (This agent is a big-fraud, please beware of him. He is a tall guy, with brownish-yellow eyes and curly heir, his contact number is 90054927 ). He posed a lady named Bibi Rehana Omar Khan(93971406,NRIC S7529328C) as the owner of this aforementioned unit.

I moved into this unit on 9th and started living in with my family from 10th April 2007. On the very first night we moved into this house, someone named Farid, a person of about 35-40 yr age, broke-into this apartment at 2:00 AM and started watching the TV at high volume. This guy was heavily drunk that was evident from his red-eyes. Disturbed by the loud noise, I opened the door of my bedroom and found this guy sitting on the sofa, smoking cigarette and watching TV. I was scared and infurious like hell.

Upon enquiry, he said that the house belonged to him and that he has been released from the prison on that day and have no place to live. He claimed that the house belonged to him and I must vacate the house immediately. He tried to intimidate me by repeatedly stating that he has come from Prison and is not afraid of police, if I choose to call police.

This incidence disturbed the peace of my house and my wife also got up. I tried to reason with him but to no avail. I tried calling this lady Rehana but she did not pick up my call. Calling Nick did not help either. He was least bothered by what we were going through. After making all the attempts to amicably solve the issue at hand with the owner and agent, I gave up and was left with no choice but to argue diplomatically with this criminal. After disturbing, threatening and scaring us for about 1.5 hr,
he left with another warning that he would return back at 7:00 in the morning and would break the door dare I put any pad-lock etc.

We took a day off and tried taking help from these two people named Rehana and Nick only to find that they were either not picking our calls or were just canceling our calls. We got frustrated and decided to take police action against these people and went to Sengkang NPC. It was then, when police called Rehana, I started getting all kind of calls from Rehana and Nick that they would send so many people to live in the house and that I would see what all trouble they can create for us. Police also did not help saying that Owner can send anybody to house to stay since the house
was unapproved and informed that this Criminal was no-one but the
Brother-in-law of this lady Rehana. And this fact made it legal for Rehana to put an ex-convict in the house.

To cut this long story short, I was forced to leave the house in one day by all kind of threats that they would trouble me, should I decide to stay. Apparently, due to my family's security's concerns, I had to leave the house immediately.

Later when I told this story to my friends, I discovered that, there were at least 4 more people cheated on 24 th march(exactly same story), 10th April (me), 7th May (this time Farid acted as owner and Jack Sing as Agent), and later 10th May 2007 (Farid and Jack/Jat Sigh) for amounts $2700.00,$2525.00,$3100.00, $2200.00 respectively. This proved that this was a very well orchestrated drama by Rehana, the land-lady, Farid, Nick and another agent named Jat/jack-singh (name unsure).

After knowing all this, I thought that I must share this story with you so that you can take precaution when you visit any new apartment for rent. Also, I lost S$2525.00, in this whole episode and was thrown out of gear completely for at least 2 weeks. Please beware of this agent Nick/Jat(or Jack) sing and this owner Rehana/ Farid.

For your reference, there are at least 3 Police Reports in Sengkang NPC against this Agent/Land Lord duo and 3 HDB complaints, which are known to me. There could be several others as well.
