Yup. But the tenant actually prepare the agreement.  It is just that  I would like a lawyer to look at it so that my rights are protected. Don't think the tenant will want to pay for this

same fees still apply (25% of monthly rental) if u want lawyer to vet through the agreement.

Just to update everyone. I did engage a lawyer to vet my ageeement. In the end didn't go ahead with the tenancy. But I thought getting the legal advice is worth it. A peace of mind

i assume it's a commercial tenancy?

for house tenancy usually its pretty straightforward. but be careful on commercial / mall tenancies - usually the clauses cannot be changed so u will need to be aware of your obligations under the agreement.

I'm guessing that it should be fairly simple on the terms:-

1. if u want, u can get new furniture, but insert a clause that they have to replace if spoil (fair wear and tear excepted) upon expiry of the term;
2. no sublet (but in reality it's difficult to enforce) - many companies use this to do airbnb business
3. payment of utilities bill every month and show evidence upon payment of rental

I dont think there's much to be disputed on in house tenancies, whether dealing with a company or individual.

on a side note, why wouldn't you rent it to a company to do airbnb? I would think that they would take care and maintain the place even better than a normal tenant would, as their ratings and reviews will depend on the cleanliness of the place.

it's a grey area for now. even if they decide to create new law to govern airbnb, i think it cannot be enforced fully and should be very easy to bypass it.
