That's rough. I'd check your tenancy agreement first—in Brunei, rent hikes usually need proper notice unless stated otherwise. If it's not in the contract, try negotiating or citing the law. Also, join the 'Brunei Expats' Facebook group; lots of folks share landlord horror stories and legal tips there. Good luck!

Yeah, that's rough. I'm new here too and my landlord tried a similar thing. I asked if there was any notice period in the contract—turns out most standard agreements here need 2 months' notice for hikes. Might be worth checking yours. Hope it works out, rent stress is the worst.

That really sucks, I'm sorry you're dealing with that. I'm a foreigner here too, and I've heard stories from others about sudden rent hikes with zero notice. It feels unfair, especially when you've only been there 6 months. Maybe try negotiating? Some landlords here are open to discussion if you point out you're a good tenant. Hang in there.

That sucks, especially with no warning. I'm also a foreigner renting in Gadong, and I had a similar issue last year. If you're stuck, check out the 'Brunei Expats' Facebook group—people often post sublets or rooms there. Also, try Kiulap or Beribi; I found a cheaper place after negotiating directly with the owner. Landlords here sometimes test new tenants, so don't be afraid to push back or look elsewhere.
