Dear Gurus,
I am currently renting a room (have been staying here for the past 9 months) and my tenancy agreement (TA) will expire in Dec 2023. Under my current TA, it is actually 6 months min stay + 1 month notice (diplomatic clause). I am planning to renew my lease before it expires. I have a few questions:
1) Is a new TA required?
2) Can the new TA/extension of TA be based on the same terms and condition (ie. a contract of 1 year but it is a diplomatic clause of 6 months min stay + 1 month notice)?
3) During my current TA, I had to pay a 1 month deposit. When I renew the TA, do I also have to pay a 1 month deposit?
4) Also, does my landlord have to engage the same property agent and does my landlord also have to pay commission to the property agent even though it is just a lease extension?
Thanks.
