hi guys i need some help from you gurus out there.

i got a copy of tenancey agreement from the agent, but one thing i don't quiet understand.



"THE LANDLORD HEREBY COVENANTS WITH THE TENANT as follows:-

6.1 To pay the Quit Rent, assessment, service charges and other outgoings relating to the Said Premises other than those herein agreed to be paid by the Tenant."


is it saying landlord will pay them or i have to pay them? thanks

Aiiyyoo...if u rent the house should you pay the quit/assessment rent to???

Its not included maa.....

NO NEED!!

aiyo, they are trying to suck my blood!

Hmm.....u hv been blackmailed......the bold words explained already....it meant...u hv to pay the rent/deposit (look back ur agreement) except to those quit rent, assessment etc....those hv to be paid by landlord.....

U only rent and not buying frm landlord rite? then dont.....

btw...i'm not lawyer or something that understand this law thingy....

but you can think logically laa.....rite?

oh like that ka? a bit confusing leh.

why can't they say "Landlord shall pay bla bla bla" instead of boombastic english

this is for renting lor

Agreement always write like that... and sometime the landlord also dont understand..if any problem.. then they will ask the property agent or the lawyer.

Its a law termss.....if you read the law book...then you pening already...hehehehee

The above statement clearly means that the Landlord is bound legally to pay the quit rent, assessment, service charges and other expenses in connection to the Said Premises OTHER THAN THOSE AGREED by you as a tenant.

BTW, i am not a lawyer...don't shoot me if i am wrong.

It means other than those stated there, tenant have to pay

thanks so much all. now clearer !
i wrongly accuse the agent

Standard agreement. Tenant only pay rental and utility bills.

and Indah water bills too.

Hehehe, no sweat buddy!


Cheers!

Have to tumpang a question on this TA thread.

Has any of you (as landlords) put a clause in your TA that says something to the equivalent that if tenant does not leave the premise at the end of tenancy in good clean condition, say, 200 bucks will be deducted from security deposit for professional cleaning charges ???

Normally you dont say how much to charge.. you just mention all expenses in removing, repairing and replacing all the damages or missing items will be deducted against the security deposit.

If let say the tenanat left alot of damage furniture..it will not be enought to cover the labour + transport + Local dump site cost...

Thanks, ehl, for your feedback.

Am refering more to general state of housekeeping -i.e. cleanliness of kitchen, floor etc.

If the landlord is not happy with the cleanliness of kitchen or floor, he or she will charge you by asking help from professional services.

If it is only dusty..normally they wont borther, but if is oily and stain.. surely they will charge you...
