Hi Sherry,..diplomatic clause is only applicable to non-singaporeans.Diplomatic clause is valid if the tenant can produce proof of documentation by the company their working with.From there u can see whats the reason he is appointed elsewhere.pls take note,to leave the premises early,he/she needs to show you a written document and proof if it is under diplomatic clause. If they cant give you any proof,meaning to say,they have breach the contract if they are leaving the premises early.u can forfeit the deposit and they have to pay you the remaining rental month.for example,a 1 year lease with 6 months minimum occupancy.they decide to leave after 2 months.then they will have to settle the balance 4 months,..but,it also depends on what is in the contract...do call me if you need more enquiries.

thanks.

Tenant needs to show proof rgd his employment etc for him to exercise the diplomatic clause

eg in a 2yr lease, it is probable (and common) that the diplomatic clause can only be exercised after completing 12 mths and by giving 2 mths notice to the landlord

There are cases when the Tenant's employment is terminated after 6 mths (due to no fault of the tenant). In this case, the termination of the lease has to be discussed and mutually agreed by both landlord and tenant (amicably).

It is most likely that the deposit will be forfeited (due to no fault of the tenant, in this example)

What is the Diplomatic Clause?
A diplomatic clause is a provision in a rental agreement that allows tenants to terminate the lease early without penalties under specific conditions.
It is particularly relevant for expatriates and foreign tenants who may face sudden relocations due to work commitments1.
When Can the Tenant Invoke the Diplomatic Clause?
Typically, the tenant can exercise the diplomatic clause if they meet certain criteria:
The tenant has occupied the premises for a minimum period (usually 12 months).
Their employer requires them to leave Singapore permanently due to a job transfer.
The tenant provides written notice to the landlord at least one month in advance.
Documentary evidence (such as an employer letter) accompanies the notice2.
Verifying Tenant Departure:
To ensure the tenant has indeed departed for another job or terminated, landlords can request supporting documents, such as:
Employer confirmation of relocation or termination.
Proof of the tenant’s new job location (if applicable).
Landlord’s Actions:
If a tenant is found to be untruthful:
The landlord can take legal action, such as seeking damages or eviction.
Consultation with a legal professional is advisable to understand specific rights and procedures.
Remember, it’s essential to have a well-drafted tenancy agreement that clearly outlines the diplomatic clause and related terms. Always consult legal advice for specific situations!
