For tenancy agreements exceeding 2 years in duration, alternative dispute resolution methods may be pursued instead of the Small Claims Tribunal. Here are some avenues for resolving disputes related to longer-term tenancy agreements:
Mediation: Parties can opt for mediation, where a neutral third party assists in facilitating negotiations and reaching a mutually acceptable resolution. The Singapore Mediation Centre (SMC) and the Community Mediation Centre (CMC) offer mediation services for various types of disputes, including landlord-tenant disagreements.
Arbitration: Arbitration involves submitting the dispute to an arbitrator or panel of arbitrators, who will make a binding decision based on the evidence and arguments presented by both parties. The Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) and the Singapore Institute of Arbitrators (SIArb) are reputable organizations that offer arbitration services.
Legal Action: If mediation or arbitration fails to resolve the dispute, parties may consider taking legal action through the civil court system. This typically involves filing a claim in the Singapore State Courts or the High Court, depending on the nature and complexity of the dispute. Legal representation may be advisable in such cases.
It's essential for landlords and tenants entering into long-term tenancy agreements to ensure that the terms are clearly outlined, understood, and legally enforceable. This can help prevent disputes from arising in the first place and facilitate smoother resolution if issues do occur. Consulting with a legal advisor or seeking professional guidance when drafting or reviewing tenancy agreements can also provide added protection and clarity for both parties.
