Reason? One of the landlords want to take back his unit. It s said that the tenant below (the 四川 restaurant) wanted to take our space. And due to the probability that the landlord has a share in the business, they are chasing us out.
Due to this, I had to do the following:
- Call for agents to search for office space
- look around Chinatown area for vacant spaces that we could move the whole/part of the operations to
- Source for alternative places
- Arrange for viewing
- Arrange for contractors to quote for restoration of the to-be-vacated place
- Source for temporary storage space
- Source for packers (reliable and cheap, more importantly, cheap)
- Staying back to supervise the movers (Together with my boss, and stayed back for 3 nights till 3am, 5am, and 4am, resulting in very bad eye bags and eye rings)
- Have quite a fair bit of discussion with the property agent that we have engaged (This was actually recently)
Now we have decided a place, signed the Tenancy Agreement, but I must say, the new landlord is comparable to the one that chased us out. Now is just waiting for the renovations to finish, finalize and move in!
To both the landlords who are 'unfriendly': Karma will befall on you, don't worry. It'll all come back to you.
I'm dreading the moving back in part again! Am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I won't have to stay back late like the last time round!
