Hi Guys,
Currently I'm renting a HDB room (SGD600) in Bedok with 1 year contract. I'm thinking bout moving out from there and stay at JB because one of my sibling is will be working at JB. My mom request me to stay with him to watch over him since he is a freshgrad... Based on you guys exp, can I just move out? I still have remaining 4 months contract with the owner for now.... |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Jun 17 2016, 06:29 PM) Depends on your relationship with owner and what it says on your contract lor. My tenancy contract allows either of us to terminate early with no penalty with 2 mths notice. The landlord stays inside the house lor. Me just hi-hi bye-bye only with them... And pay rent on time, everytime... |

QUOTE(IwanAGP @ Jun 17 2016, 09:54 PM) Can't look back to your contract. Mine if not wrong... From Dennis Wee Realty is... Minimum is 3 months. The contract is 1 year. Means if you stay less than 3 months you have to cover the rent until 3 months (I think?) and you lose the deposit too (or maybe count towards 1 of the months). Then after that if want to leave, will have to pay the other party (the contract can be ended by both tenant and the owner) the prorated agent fee. Like if you stay half year then you have to pay them 50% of the agent fee they paid to the agent at first. If not wrong is something like that... You really have to read back to know. QUOTE(3rdEdition @ Jun 17 2016, 10:02 PM) depends on ur contract. mine is 1 year contract too but minimum stay for 6 months. so read ur contract. It seems like a big alamak situation for me.» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Hope u guys can give me some advice... |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Jun 17 2016, 11:13 PM) Nothing to advise, your contract already crystal clear what. Just talk to your landlord and explain the situation and see whether he/she willing to accommodate you. If can't then just stay another 4 months, that's hardly a long time. Alamak. I think i better consult the agent first la for advise. Couldn't affort to pay 2 rents at 1 time lol. Me is bangla level only, but think like godlike stays at SG. Kahkahkag... |

QUOTE(nothingz @ Jun 17 2016, 11:19 PM) do you really think you can tahan the life of waking up around 5am in the morning to get in to SG work then reach JB home around 8pm every working day? My current work is shift based bro. 2 days on (1 morning, 1 night) and 2 days off. I'm kinda bored staying here during the off days. Nothing to be done...Because my nature of work, i think i should better move to JB because i only occur 5 morning shift weekdays/month... QUOTE(IwanAGP @ Jun 17 2016, 11:41 PM) You consult the agent first he/she sure ask you don't move... You know why?? Their contract with the owner will stipulate if the tenant leave within "N" month(s) (normally 3), they have to find one new tenant for the owner. Aiya, like this huh? Pening la liddis... |

QUOTE(zephyrus9999 @ Aug 24 2016, 11:03 PM) i wonder what kind of difference? sg meleis are more matured is it? hahaha. or they are way too westernized till cant speak a single word of melei I didn't really mind about language, since i'm able to converse in English as well...Its just the topic itself it different. Well, MY malays loves to talk about politics and religion wherever they go. But SG malays are abit different. They love to talk more about economic and whatsoever. I still manage to sync my wavelength with them if they're talking bout that topic... But when they start talking bout internal SG politics and whatsoever, I couldn't do anything. Since I'm not a Singaporean and dunno anything bout their politics... I find out that anything related to socialism is a taboo here. We can't simply talk about it. Issit true? |

QUOTE(shawnmy @ Aug 25 2016, 02:18 PM) Where do you plan to stay at JB bro ? Any nice place to recommend nearby the second link ? Somewhere at larkin. Bcoz my workplace is at Changi. More convenient using tambak Johor. For 2nd link, i dun have any idea...QUOTE(pandelelasim @ Aug 25 2016, 11:42 AM) hope you dont end up like me..talking to the wall hahaha Same la. I oso end up takling to the wall even i have a gaming laptop. I couldn't play any games due to another tenant hogging the line. Ping is mostly 500 to 1k-ish right after he come home from work....Now, i bring my MY bikes and pay the $4 daily VEP and keep it inside SG. Yes, it cost me another $120-ish/mth to keep the bike but its worth it. Atleast i can jalan2 when i'm bored. Less time talking to the walls... |

QUOTE(Ultimaweapon @ Aug 26 2016, 02:33 AM) I'm not well versed with Singaporean history but just happen to stumble upon "Operation Coldstore" This are what they are referring to. I do remember the bros and uncles told me about this operation, but I couldn't recall the name back then...that does explain the "taboo" in discussing about Socialism history. Refer:- Wiki Even in MY also people didn't really fancy with the word Socialism.... |
