I currently live in Malaysia but am likely to be leaving in a few months to move abroad. My agent has said I can use the expat clause to cancel rental.
I know it is not entirely ethical but I am thinking of witholding the last two month's of rent upon giving notice as the landlord is entitled not to return deposits for 31 days, meaning I would leave the country prior to it being returned.
What are the risks associated with witholding rent in lieu?
