The onus is on the landlord to you have name registered with HDB that he sublet to you. In addition, any legal documents to take effect when brought to the court needs to be stamped. Stamping fee is dependent on the annual rental income the landlord will collect. However, many agents/landlord will tell you that stamping is not required for rental of room and only if you rent the whole place. Its all bullshit. As soon as you have your tenancy agreement stamped, the Inland Revenue Board will within 2 weeks send a notice to the landlord for tax, this is the reason why landlords refuse to have it stamped.
All in all, play safe = rent a approved unit + tenancy agreement stamped
May I know All in all, play safe = rent a approved unit + tenancy agreement stamped
1.If the landlord didnt stamp, does it mean that the tenancy agreement is not legal?
2.If the room tenancy agreement had been stamped, does the landlord or agent should give the tenant a copy?
3.Is it a norm for them to collect our Work Permit + Passport photostate copy to register with HDB?
4.Can we cross the photocopies of work permit + passport like what we do when we apply credit card in Malaysia?
5.Once they Registered, do we tenant can ask for the document as a proof that they had registered?
