-Rent is a form of revenue obtained by public housing management that is used towards the management and maintenance of public housing. Without rent collection, there is no revenue. It is therefore critical that research on rent arrears be undertaken to understand the extent of the problem. This paper studies the relationship between tenant satisfaction and rent arrears prevalent amongst MBI public housing tenants. Data for the study was obtained through questionnaire distribution on 659 MBI public housing tenants using the strata sampling technique. The study found that tenant satisfaction is related to the rent arrears problem. Although the payment of rent is commonly focused on the ability to pay rent apparent amongst tenants, the fact remains that tenant satisfaction must also be considered by the public housing management in order to increase the payment of rent by tenants.
Increasing energy demands projected in the year 2030 (40%) requires the government to take action on energyefficiency initiatives now. This study aims to determine the user perception on energy efficiency and design of schools in Malaysia. The perception on energy efficiency (PEE) and perception on design (POD) are the construct to measure the perception of energy efficiency in school design (UPEESD). The result found that all construct achieved Cronbach's Alpha coefficient level exceeding 0.60 (POD=0.73, PEE=0.80); indicating that all dimensions have good reliability values. This result also found that there is significant correlation between POD and PEE (r=0.282, p=0.00).
