Contractors Bringing People Without Permission

Featured Replies

Dear friends, can I ask what can be done if a contractor has been bringing people to my house without my permission, for my case is a curtain contractor. My house has been cleaned and there are some furnitures inside already as there is minor carpentry work going on , it was still chained up with a common lock and since that curtain contractor can access to the house he brought people in to view the curtain installed . How I knew is because my neighbor told me abt this !

Is there any agency to complain about this or action that I can take ??

Thanks

House's your, you got right to deny access, isn't it?.

Tell him directly, instead of "stabbing" him at sides.

mine is worse.. my neighbour's contractor is those pesky uncles soliciting business downstairs

and since my reno is almost 90% done they opened my door (but gate is still locked though) and showed other pple my reno by peeping outside the gate. And to think i spent 43k on ID to design the house. No use telling them cos its not my contractor. Called service building pple, they referred me to Town council, called town council referred me to HDB, called HDB the officer in charge of my block said "tell me no use wat! call police la"

Wrote a nasty email to MP to comment on the "good service". Till now also no reply. After GE, service always sucks.

to be fair, its really not town council or HDB or the MP's problem

i dont think police can help either

because the visitors are standing OUTSIDE of your unit and the gate is LOCKED

what you can do is set up a booth at your main door to collect 'viewing fee'

that should discourage 'peeping toms'

:)

true.. but the reason why i highlighted the problem to the service building management was because they issued a memo to all residents highlighting the problem of soliciting and harrassment so I thought they might be able to handle.. and was referred to so many other departments. Was told police could help because these guys OPENED my door.. now tat I have locked everything up, these contractors still had to cheek to knock on my door and asked if I can let them and their customers in to view my house. OMG. are they clueless or wat? :furious:

Just tell them off loud and clear infront of their customer.

You are not my contractor. View what?

Did you ask for my permission to bring ppl come to my house to show case my house and let other ppl thought you are the one do the job?

You had no own project to show?

Want to use other ppl work to show?

U from which company?

HDB approve one or not?
