People do not like the fact that historical building and historical remnants are being demolished. Dr P. Ramasamy says, ‘I learnt that the Merbok land office had given the developer the go-ahead to clear the land because ‘there were no historical sites’, so the land office should also be held accountable for this.’ The Kedah State Government sought to deflect blame by claiming that it was powerless to do anything because the land was privately owned and further, that the site had not been gazetted as a historical site. The Perai state assemblyman said, “A researcher, Datuk V. Nadarajan, who is conducting a study on the Lembah Bujang site, is the one to discover that the candi was demolished and had lodged a police report to stop the developers but nothing happened.” Kedah government tells developer to stop work temporarily at Lembah Bujang. The developer, Saw Guan Keat who demolished a candi in Sungai Batu, Bujang Valley has agreed to temporarily stop work, says Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir. The Kedah Mentri Besar said he had asked state exco member Datuk Tajul Urus Mat Zain to get the developer to do this. He said the state government had yet to issue an official stop-work notice to the developer. He declined to comment further pending a full report on the project. However, it is seen that the developer still continues with the project. Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir emphasised that the developer was not issued with a stop-work order, but

In 2003, Tolman Sr. retained Grenier to assist in the sale of his property located at 175 Central Street, Georgetown, MA. Tolman Sr. purchased the land in 1960, and in 1996 he granted an easement on the property to a neighbor in order to “use, maintain, and repair an existing” septic leaching field on his property.

When a property was targeted for purchase, a few different things could happen: The owners could sell at the offered price, they could be threated that the land would be taken by eminent domain and then sell, or they could fight it. Not many landowners had the deep pockets to fight it. That’s the rough way of putting it. Thankfully, some of the owners wanted to see their land preserved from development and were glad to sell to the Mid-Peninsula Open Space District.

The first element of the statute requires Kelley giving written or oral permission for the use of his land. There are some options for him to consider: a sign indicating the nature and availability of the land for use; and/or a news release with media coverage informing the public that the land is available and all associated details. The contracts which Kelley was already planning on using can serve as release forms, which by its self is not sufficient to alert the whole of the public so one or both of the previous options must be utilized.

Below-market units are sold to new owners, who raise rent to market levels. Newspapers cover this and label the new owner as thoughtless and out to gouge tenants, which in turn has political implications. ​

A whole issue within itself is the accessibility to social housing for vulnerable Australians, with many families needing to seek short-term or crisis accommodation due to the lack of availabilities within the social housing sector, and for those who are able to obtain housing within the private sector often fall victim to private landlords as they display forms of power when rent falls into arears. These people then become victims within the private market, often becoming ‘blacklisted’ by landlords and their agents. It is believed that private renters who attempt to advocate for their rights are often locked out of their premises due to “disruptive behaviour.” (Sharam and Hulse, 2014)
