1. **Direct Contact with Landlord**: According to the **Council for Estate Agencies (CEA)**, tenants are generally allowed to communicate directly with the landlord, especially if it's related to important matters regarding the tenancy. The CEA encourages open and transparent communication between landlords and tenants, ensuring that all parties understand their rights and obligations. If you would like more information, you can check the CEA guidelines on tenant rights [here](https://www.cea.gov.sg/).
2. **Create a Group Chat**: It might be helpful to suggest creating a group chat (such as on WhatsApp or Telegram) with the landlord, property agent, and yourself. This way, you can ensure that all parties are informed of any issues or updates in real-time, minimizing delays and communication gaps.
3. **Request Proof of Landlord's Preference**: If the property agent refuses to allow direct contact with the landlord, you have the right to ask for proof that the landlord specifically prefers not to communicate directly with you. The agent must provide this information in writing to avoid any misunderstandings.
4. **Polite Reminder to the Agent**: Politely remind the property agent that their role is that of a facilitator and witness in the rental process. The **legal rental contract** is between you (the tenant) and the landlord, and the agent is not a legal party in that agreement. You are not obligated to communicate only through the agent if the landlord allows direct contact.
5. **If Agent Provides False Information**: If the agent refuses to provide proof or tells you something untrue (such as claiming the landlord does not want direct contact without evidence), you have grounds to file a complaint with the CEA. You can submit a complaint with the agent’s license number and contact details. It’s important that the agent’s conduct adheres to the CEA's ethical standards.
*"The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said."* – Peter Drucker
