Asked by
I signed the contract directly with the owner of a condominium. The tenancy agreement is one year between Aug 2018 till next year Oct 2019. Only after Dec 2018 I found out that the owner involve in illegal issues (after notify by MOM authorities) and I wanted to move out ASAP before the contract end. The tenancy agreement stated that “deposit is only refundable upon the expiry of the lease”.The question is will I be allowed to do so? And how about my one month deposit?

Hi Yi Lin, it is unlikely that the landlord would return you back the deposit if you chose to break lease. But you could always try to explain the reason behind it and to negotiate about it,

Does the illegal activities that the landlord is involved in prohibits him from renting out his property? From default, it is unlikely that you will be able to get the deposit refunded and you will probably need to decide whichever is more important to you and move on from there.
