^ now i know why most of the forumers here in finance and banking sector are ignoring u totally
u already have ur own opinion and do not seem like accepting what others think.
i seriously do not even know why u are in this forum when u already made up ur mind on everything...maybe u just enjoy being a troll

probably the autogate system has yet to be updated...delay maybe as u just started work like one month?
yes, just scan the page of your passport with the pic.

yes...i nvr applied anything


well...then his/her case is x-files...unexplainable.

hmmm...that seems very logical.
i know my passport has the chip
need to check my wife's passport (which is older version than mine) but she can scan too.

y would it not help?
the contract is legally binding which can be used in court.
your agent is supposed to work for you.
anything, u pester ur agent and ur agent is supposed to help u

u never ask why u only got back half the deposit?
u dun ask, they dun justify, u consider it a norm?
i got back my full deposit, even though things did not really end in good terms.

silly reason which is not justifiable?
something broke and they used ur deposit to compensate?
u left the house in a mess and they paid for a cleaner to clean the house with your deposit?

the police dun entertain or u did not try for the case deposit to refunded totally.
tried submitting ur claim to Consumers Assosication of Singapore (CASE) ?

do that at your own risk.
there was a case where party A sent a letter of intent to extend the lease 6 months before the lease expire
landlord did not reply.
party A assumed landlord had no problem and agreed and continued paying rent on time and landlord accepted
6 months later after the original lease expired, landlord kicked party A out of the building.
they went to court, court sided landlord as there was no written agreement and landlord did not do any wrong accepting the rent for 6 months.
i forgot whether this happened in sg or somewhere else (read this quite some time ago, probably a few months ago)
party A was industrial or at least business entity, not residential
i believe a contract can still be drafted between landlord and tenant without the agent for rooms rental.


agents did not provide receipt of payment for deposit?

maybe i wrote it wrongly causing misunderstanding
they requested for a 1 year extension roughly 6 months earlier before their lease end (meaning if it ends dec 2012, they wrote in at jun 2012)
landlord did not reply whether they accept the 1 year extension or reject it.

not so sure if that is the normal practice
my rental have been 2 years lease...before and current 1
my friends's lease is also 2 years
we all needed to pay agent fee.

knowing an extra language will always be an advantage

ICA does not reveal the reason...probably to avoid loopholes being found and exploited (just me guessing)
for the rejection...try appealing...there are templates on the internet for you to try out.
my application is still pending...for quite some time now.
