– What was the problem with you terminating the contract? – What were the specific conditions mentioned in the contract that gave „one month`s notice, the landlord or tenant can terminate the contract.“ At the moment, it`s pretty vague. What do you mean by tenants, agents and landlords are the same people? What is the connection between the other tenants (supposed to be roommates?) in relation to your tenancy agreement? Hello, can you consult, please? I`m a tenant with a 12-month lease. For work reasons, I intend to break the lease at the 6th month. But there is no penalty in my lease. Do I have to pay the remaining six months` rent, which I think is pretty unfair? As a general rule, the rental agreement must be signed in the presence of the landlord and tenant with the broker (if any). In this case, where the lessor is abroad, the lease must be signed by the landlord and signed before you have approved it in order to clear up any misunderstandings. Regardless of this, according to the broker`s argument that the contract is not legally binding because the owner has not signed it, you should be able to recover your deposit. Good morning. Is there a legal definition of rental repair, as claimed by leases? When occupying a new 2-year lease, what can be reasonably expected to be an acceptable condition? Or rather, since the lease contains nothing specifically beyond the new paint of the house, can a tenant expect the property to be cleaned and habitable, including cleaning the dirt from the renovation (dust/paint, etc.), proper thorough cleaning of all bathroom and kitchen equipment (removal of grease, dirt, etc., cooking, cleaning sewers, cleaning cabinets) and cleaning windows, and can we expect that marked/marked wood floors/coverings will be severely damaged/scratched? Is there a case law in tenants` favour when the owner has not returned a property to a laudable condition and the costs and time to rectification should be borne by the owner of the land? The tenant decided to withdraw from the contract because the apartment was not yet in a state of life (improvement of the house and amenities were incomplete). Does the owner have the right to deposit the deposit? This is understandable since the tenant is the one who terminates the contract and it is not indicated that the deposit should be refunded if the apartment is not ready. If this is not specifically mentioned in the opt-out clause, the lessor should also not be entitled to pay the surety as a means of payment for loss of income due to an empty unit. The deposit is only for the reimbursement of damages to the property.

If you find that there are no other ways to resolve the problem, you can go to the Small Claims Tribunal (www.statecourts.gov.sg/SmallClaims/Pages/GeneralInformation.aspx) as a last resort.
