Returning an apartment key – is this standard procedure?

I handed back the keys to the landlords representative over a week ago…. And now they are expecting me to pay for expenses incurred by a sifu, which I did not agree to - the work is already underway a… more

No, that's absolutely not normal. In Hong Kong, landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the property to a reasonable standard. Get everything in writing – your lease, the alleged damage, and any communications with the landlord's representative.

Maybe it's time to accept defeat and find a decent cha chaan teng instead. Plenty of those around, and no need for a secret password or cryptic map.

Haha, yeah, maybe you're right. A week is a bit excessive, I'll admit. Grandma's ghost story is pretty funny though. I was so sure it was something. The descriptions were so vivid... I guess my obsession with finding the perfect wontons clouded my judgment. Cha chaan teng it is then! Any recommendations?
