OK place with 2 bedrooms near Pencil - $300
Re: OK place with 2 bedrooms near Pencil - $300
In fairness, I have once and got a satisfactory reply. Some more information and then a few days later was informed the property was already sold. He said it wasn't his client. Fair enough in my book.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 7:38 amusually when someone posts useful info you see some feedback,basta.binici wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 9:12 pmIf no one has contacted me, why am I wasting time by posting to the wrong place? Your opinions don't mean anything to me. 12000 posts in 6 years is a sign of what kind of pathetic life you might have. Just talking about everything as if you have knowledge of anything. Just a crapper verbal salad.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 9:02 pmjust curious, has ANYONE from ceo ever inquired about a place from you?basta.binici wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 8:51 pmI have been antagonized and attacked with nonsense claims and I am out with the first revenge aimed right criticism?

The Pros:
It's spacious (about 110 sqm) and has a lovely balcony.
Big kitchen
Nice fridge
Nice washing machine
Two nice wooden beds (but no mattresses), one super king and one king sized
Khmer style but at the high end of that category
High ceilings
Large communal roof space (but no infinity pool)
Nice landlady who fixes things quickly and returns deposits
Good neighbours
Secure, all night security guards nearby, I lived there for 4 years and no incidents in the entire block
OK external walk up behind locked gate
Air con in both bedrooms (but not inverters)
No dodgy electric metering
Good location near Pencil supermarket (the one on st 214)
Free moto parking
The Cons:
Long walk up (49 steps) but compensates for lack of gym
Expensive electric at 1200 riel per unit. But I usually paid around $40-50 per month using AC for one hour per day.
Small bathroom (but has water heater)
Rip-off rubbish charge of $10 per month
Major construction site nearby
No local market nearby and Pencil is not so good
No photos, it's worth a look if you think it might suit you. Oh, and she also has a shop unit with mezzanine living space on the ground floor, $750 I think.
If interested, PM me.
I couldn’t live any place with a balcony . They make me want to do a swan dive

I honestly don't know why landlords put silly charges on things like rubbish (and often water as well). If you're gonna charge $10(!) for rubbish, just hide it in the rent. And water and electricity should be PPWSA/EDC rates. Charging extra just exposes the landlord as greedy and deters potential tenants.

Agreed. The ramp up on utilities is an odious scheme. I won't pay it. I pay state rates and would not even entertain a place other than on those terms.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 11:47 amOK so now all that's out of the way... moving on...armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 9:29 am

If you have your own meter, then you have your own bill. There is no reason to pay an uplift. And before you sign up, turn everything off and make sure the meter is not moving. It is not unheard of to find out your supply is being tapped and used by someone else.

Re: OK place with 2 bedrooms near Pencil - $300
Haha, yes, a friend had a place paying government rate, he had no aircon but always had a higher bill than I did. Finally the shop downstairs (he was on the top floor) became vacant and his bill dropped to nearly nothing. It wasn't the whole shop's usage, just its outside light.Doc67 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 12:02 pm

I wouldn't be so black and white about the rate. If you are a light user and the basic rent is cheap, then you have a good deal (as I did).
They may inflate the ancillaries for various reasons. Firstly, they pay tax on the rent so it's a way of reducing the tax a bit. Second, one relative may be the owner and another does the management. The owner gets the rent and the manager deals with paying the utilities. The manager also draws up the rental contracts.

I run my aircon a lot, plus electric hob and oven, a fridge freezer plus a chest freezer, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, TV, Laptop, hot water heater. My usage is about 550-600 KWH a month, so that is about \$100-$110 a month at state rate of about $0.18 per kwh.
When I see $0.25 that means $137 - $150 and 1200 riels is $0.29 which means $159 - $174.
Anyway, with all my accumulated crap in the apartment, I'm going absolutely nowhere!

Good point, we were all so focused on the provenance of the photo we missed the fact that it's not well stocked!siliconlife wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 4:08 pm I wouldn't use a gym that only had a StairMaster in it anyway...
