Yes, it is necessary to update the property ownership records with the relevant authorities before proceeding with renting out the unit. Here’s why:
1. **Property Ownership Accuracy**: The records with the government and the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) need to reflect the correct ownership, especially after the passing of your aunt's spouse. This ensures that the property is legally owned by your aunt alone, and the rental process is smooth.
2. **Legal Requirement**: For the rental listing to proceed, the ownership details in the system need to be accurate. Without updating the records, your aunt may face legal or procedural issues when entering into a rental contract.
3. **Role of the Lawyer**: A lawyer will need to assist in updating the records to reflect the change of ownership after your aunt’s spouse’s passing. This is a standard step in ensuring everything is in order for legal matters, including renting out the property.
It’s best to follow the advice of the agent and consult the lawyer to make these updates before listing the unit for rent.
in LAYMAN TERMS >> FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF TENANT , ESP guided by Tenant agent > if ownership show 2 names > then by right TENANCY AGREEMENT should have also spouse signature on it / 2 owners name on it >> then if from convenient landlord aunty side who might argue " spouse has passed away , so only 1 signature will do" >> this is STILL VERBAL , WITHOUT PAPERWORK PROOF >> and if by this argument is okays >> then why should there be Tenancy agreement with all written agreements , and to begin with >> tenant and landlord started all as strangers >> landlord MUST SEE tenant proof of occupation >> then tenant SHOULD ALSO/ MUST By right can validate the Right sole 1 ownership. Past tenant might be okays because everything went smoothly but a careful tenant might logically require the Right status of ownership and not based on Hear-say verbal .
