Actually you can ask the agent who drafted this agreement to find out the answer?

This clause is a relatively standard legal phrasing used in tenancy agreements to define who is considered the "Tenant" for the purposes of the agreement.

The clause is saying that "The Tenant" refers to the individuals named in the agreement (xxxxx, yyyy, and zzzz), and that this term also includes any legal representatives or successors in title (such as heirs) of those individuals, as well as any permitted assigns (such as sub-tenants or roommates).

In other words, anyone who legally succeeds or takes over the tenancy agreement from the original tenants is also bound by the terms of the agreement, as long as they are considered "permitted assigns" under the terms of the agreement.

This clause is important because it ensures that the obligations and responsibilities set out in the agreement apply not only to the named tenants, but also to anyone else who occupies the property during the tenancy period.

Hope it helps!

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.
