Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents says agents can vet potential tenants but cannot guarantee their behaviour when in occupation of rented premises.

Property agents said they are required by law to carry out checks on potential tenants but there is only so much they could do.

One of the requirements is that they properly screen prospective tenants using a “know your customer” form. He said licensed agents are also monitored by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and Bank Negara Malaysia, and, therefore, follow the code of ethics strictly. Ramli said they could face action under the Penal Code, such as Section 420 for cheating, Section 34 for joint liability, and Section 109 for abetment.
