S Sundarajoo says such rental practices defeat the purpose of the affordable housing programme, which is to give the poor the opportunity to own houses.
S Sundarajoo said the Penang Housing Board and local councils are working on the bill, which he will then present to the state executive committee.
The executive councillor also said such a rental practice would turn low-cost flats into “migrant workers’ villages”, which would make the local residents uncomfortable, raising safety concerns among residents with young children. “It is not fair to the rest of the residents who live there. We want to curb this rental practice in the long run,” he told FMT after attending a ceremony to hand over offer letters to affordable housing house applicants at the Mutiara Indah flats in Simpang Ampat here.
Last year, Sundarajoo’s predecessor, Jagdeep Singh Deo, had also called on Putrajaya to introduce laws that would prohibit owners of low-medium-cost housing units from renting them out to foreigners.On a separate matter, Sundarajoo also called on low-cost housing applicants who have been forced by developers to pay additional costs for furnishing packages to lodge complaints with him and the housing board.
