JOHOR BARU: Those renting rooms and houses here are concerned that the general rise in the cost of living could also extend to rented accommodation.

Student management assistant, 35, Nurul Aisha Mohd Yusoff, who is currently renting a two-bedroom house in Taman Perling, said she and her husband went to great lengths to find a rented house that fit their budget.

“The house has not been renovated and there is not even a gate, but it is one that we can afford,” said the mother of two.“I am very worried that the landlord would one day increase the rent as other houses around this area are being rented out for RM700 to RM1,000.She noted the rate for the house she and her husband used to rent in Skudai had increased from RM400 a few years ago to RM600 earlier this year.

“My previous landlord wanted to sell his house and told us to look for another place. I used to only pay RM350 for the house but I could not find another place with a similar rent these days.
