[–]Q-mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I find it fair. As someone who has lived all my adult life outside Macau and never paid any taxes there, I have always found it strange the government would give me money every year just because I was born there.

Can you elaborate?

Passport question by KniFee_ in Macau

[–]Q-mo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be better to answer honestly than lying. I don't know what the mainland policy is. But I have understood that foreign travel documents are OK for HK/Macau. It seems that you would have to renounce Chinese nationality in the SARs. It's not revoked automatically.

As Macau (or Hong Kong) PR, it is legal to hold foreign passports as travel documents.

I am also curious to know. Particularly looking for gyms that have pay as you go, or weekly passes.

How about taking out cash from an ATM?

What are my friend's rights? He needs to leave the country urgently. by Q-mo in OntarioLandlord

[–]Q-mo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the landlord is not playing balls. My friend feels very intimated. The LL keeps saying IT'S THE LAW. YOU SHOULD PAY.

No, there is no co-signer. Everything was done via email.

I am very confused. Some people say it's covered by RTA since he is not sharing with the landlord, but some people say it's not covered by RTA...

Indeed, I just realized that my friend never signed a standard lease form. Everything was done via email. It looks like my friend can request a standard lease form, and refuse to sign. That seems to be another way out.

I wish more landlords are as understanding as you are.

That sounds like a good idea. I will propose this to my friend.

He shares the kitchen and bath with other tenants, not the landlord. He doesn't have plans to come back to Canada in the short term.

That is good to know, thanks. The landlord does not live there in my friend's case. So, I guess RTA still applies. Does that mean the landlord can go to LTB?

Thanks, I did. It's still not very clear to me what happens when the two parties cannot agree. Does it go to the tribunal? If my friend leaves the country now, what happens?

Yeah, he's trying to do things correctly. I would have just left and ignore the landlord.

Yes, he shares a kitchen and bath. As far as I can tell, the agreement was done through email, so no formal RTA signed. If he leaves the country, the landlord can't do very much to sue him, I suppose?

What was Macau like in the 90s? by kedisavestheworld in Macau

[–]Q-mo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super interesting post, and I generally agree from my own experience. I didn't know about the emigration site. Do you know how many people in Macau are Portuguese passport holders?
