Hi all,

Would like to get some of your views on the following scenario:

Landlord has rented a room to a Tenant and there is a clause in the tenancy agreement which says "Both Tenant & Landlord can give 1-month notice for early termination of Tenancy after minimum occupation of 6 months. In this case, the Deposit shall be refundable less deduction for damages cause by the Tenant, if any. In the event of early termination, the party who initiated termination shall cause to refund the paid agent’s commission on a proration basis to the other party within 15 days".

Here's the situation, if the Landlord decides to terminate the tenancy agreement before the minimum occupation of 6 months, say on the 3rd month, would the Tenant be in a position to claim 3 months rent compensation from the Landlord in addition to agent's commission.

*Note Tenant has not breach any terms in the agreement.

The clause was set by the landlord, to protect their interest in at least securing 6 months rental income and the landlord now is unable to fulfill the condition.

Hello peeps,

I have intentions to rent a 2+1 HDB. I'm looking for someone to take the common room while I'll be staying in the master with my gf. If anyone of you interested with the above arrangement please PM me as we can hunt for a place together.

The advantages of renting the whole place:
-freedom
-able to cook
-possibility cheaper rent

The only avenue you now can fall back on is your tenancy agreement, whatever you can claim or safeguard your interest. I'm having similar problems now that the landlord has gone berserk and has been very abusive. I can't divulge much info now since I have intention to play hard ball with the landlord.

It can be very stressful because you are a foreigner. But you have got to stick to your guns and know your rights.

Most areas the flood subsided. Vehicle can pass.

I'm trying to rephrase your sentences.
You came to Singapore with a social visit pass. Subsequently you obtained a long term social visit pass. Thereafter, you were awarded with a job and I assumed you are given either a WP or EP. Why do you need to extend your stay when you have valid documents to continue to stay on?

Another way of reading your queries is that now you have a LTVP and a EP, you are unsure if you can carry both. If i'm not wrong, right thing to do is, when you exit SG, you are suppose to hand over the LTVP and inform the officer that you obtained a EP. Check the ICA website or call them.

The blue label is catered to Japan's market based on their taste and style. It does not 'increase' the exclusive/luxury factor towards the brand. They can also be purchased online or smaller shops in HK or TW.

Well LV is one of the most popular brand for fakes. Further, the price for most of the much loved designs by LV, Burberry, Gucci, Prada are not beyond the reach of the less/mid income earners.

You become the guarantor and liable when the company defaults on its debt.

Try craiglist. Tend to have many expats/foreigner renting out their room.

Loophole it may be. Once your neighbour convince HDB that the owner indeed rented out the whole unit and is staying at another place, prepare to pack your bags.

What is the cheapest and reliable method to transfer money back to Malaysia.
I found out that via Maybank SG TT is $15, which is the cheapest so far. But the draw back is that I have to have a MBB SG account. Otherwise, over the counter is $30, which is an exorbitant amount. Any other banks offering competitive rates?

Not prepared to take the risk.

The old passport number will be written at the back page of your new passport.

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

Its stamp duty.
HDB don't care a shit about what is written on any tenancy agreement.

Extremely cheap. Fully furnish? Location?

Firstcoach, punctual and affordable. Guarantee reach in 5 hours if 2nd link is smooth.

You have an issue being a Chinese now?
If you have nothing better to contribute here, feel free to start your own forum.

LOL!!!

If you can get the break down of that statistics from Singapore Department of Statistics, then we will talk.
