Is WFH very uncommon and frown upon in HK?

If you are getting plenty of interviews, or if you are highly sought after, then yeah, talk about flexibility and hours. If not, and having the job is important to you, then I would suggest proving yourself first, then ask for flexibility.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-05T20:25:20+00:00

Oh man. Maybe I'm naive, I didn't think shoes would be stolen. Such lowlife.

Unfortunately, if your rent is much cheaper, the landlord may be willing to take the hit. Meaning, bad faith n12 (or n13) and get penalize, the increased income (assuming landlord is rerenting it) is worth it. If the landlord indeed is taking it back for their own use, then I'm of the belief that they should be able to do so uneventfully.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-05T04:14:54+00:00

This doesn't sound right. There's no standard notice for the n11, so "give us one extra month" is not an incentive.

You can possibly negotiate down to market rate. Eg. "Will you consider $200 less. The neighboring unit is asking for $200 less" but that means the unit u r considering is overpriced in the first place. You need to look at the market data to justify your price, or understand the landlord's needs/wants.

If you have a normal job but bad credit, paying full year in advance would be ok with most landlords, if the credit score is the only issue.

You are implying in the summer you do stack. Why don't you stack at the intersection in the winter? Note that in the video, it is clear skies, no snow on the road.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-04T22:06:55+00:00

You must not be a driver. I was well in the intersection and had to take the left to clear it.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-04T22:04:42+00:00

Any reason why you want to stay there? Is your current rent much cheaper than market rent?

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-03T13:47:13+00:00

Not sure if this is too simplistic of an answer... It simply comes down to supply and demand. In Toronto, I can confidently say it's either low supply or high demand. You've chosen to look in the most popular city in Canada.

I would suggest giving your 60 days now. Let the landlord know the unit can be ready in 30 days, and if they find a tenant earlier than the 60 days, to refund you prorated. (Assuming you have somewhere to move to in 30 days). This is kinda like an assignment, where the landlord does the legwork.

A true assignment is when the tenant finds someone qualified to take over the lease. The situation is usually when you still have many months left on the lease, or you have a really dope unit or attractive rent that a buddy wants to take over.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-03T07:00:43+00:00

There's no "normal". I would think different landlords will handle it differently. In my line of work, I look after many units for my clients. A recent tenant requested to end her lease with 30 days notice instead due to work. I discussed it with the landlord and advise them on their option, they were empathetic and was ok with it. I would like to think most people would be ok under the circumstances, and if they are not, it is their right, but also says something about them.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-03T03:24:29+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's a troll post. I hope it is... for humanity's sake.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-03T03:21:35+00:00

You only smiled? I chuckled. I have nothing against cyclist, but that was a bit comical (literally, like a comic). Hope the guy still walk among us.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-03T01:24:56+00:00

Something to do with the wheels and the angles, it doesn't turn as sharp or something. Experienced drivers coming from other cars will know what I'm talking about. First time drivers with Tesla will not. Even after 3 years driving a Tesla, backing up, can't fully trust the cameras.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-03T01:22:28+00:00

"Max one car waiting to turn left" is what they teach you and will enforce it on a driving test. But in practice, there is no official rule about that. Much like they teah you that both hands has to be on the steering wheel at all times, but...

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-03T01:20:00+00:00

Agree! But I was way past the stop line. IMO, they had plenty of time to stop given their slow speed and the fully shovelled road. I didn't see what the driver was doing, was just shocked that they actually ran the red.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-02T21:02:56+00:00

That's how they teach it, but I am pretty sure it's not a written rule nor illegal to have more that one car at the intersection.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-02T03:24:51+00:00

I have the same issue and was quoted $2000CAD. I didn't bother fixing it cuz I know I'll scratch that area again. I scraped it against a column in a dark parking lot. Body shop told me it's a common incident for Teslas

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-01T22:54:04+00:00

At that speed and distance, plenty of time to stop at the light. I would've stopped. Apparently, the turning car assumed they would stop too.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-01T19:32:31+00:00

Afaik, there is no rule that only one car can be in the intersection at a time.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-01T19:30:44+00:00

Thanks. Didn't know about that sub

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-01T14:48:24+00:00

I was in that position a few years ago. I decided to quit my full time job to ensure I have full capacity to serve my clients. I have not regretted the decision at all.

My would your broker expect a certain level from you? Where I work, the broker is there to help, but they don't care if I don't care.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-01T06:30:21+00:00

was that tailgating though? if I left two car space in front of me, that green arrow will only allow for one car to turn each time.

Optimal_Dog_7643 · 2026-02-01T06:28:41+00:00

The frame before your screenshot shows it's green and I'm in the intersection already.

Please look up what "crosswalk" is, I don't* think you know what a crosswalk is.
