Asked by
The land lord inspected the apartment on the day of vacating the premises 24/7/23He check all the electricity and everything in the apartment. He said he will return the bond in 2 weeks. There is a new tenant in the property. Now the land lord says the electricity in the room does not work and it needs to be fixed or he will not return the bond. The land lord checked the entire apatment all lights everything and agreed there is nothing wrong. After someone has moved in he wants it fixed or will not return the bond money. SCT will take time to settle this. Please advise how best this can be settled and the landlord is unreasonable.
Thank you
Kind regards

The legal way out is thought SCT.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

    This can be a tricky situation for both the tenant and the landlord. Here's how it might be sorted with the building management or landlord:

    Understanding the Situation:

    Employment Pass Cancellation: The key factor is the reason for the employment pass cancellation. Was it due to job termination, redundancy, or other reasons?
    New Tenancy Agreement: The date the new tenancy agreement was signed is important. Did the tenant sign it before or after they knew about the potential employment pass cancellation?
    Possible Solutions:

    Open Communication: Both parties should communicate openly and honestly.

    Tenant: The tenant should inform the landlord about the employment pass situation as soon as possible. Explain the timeline of events (when they signed the new agreement and when they learned about the pass cancellation).
    Landlord: The landlord should understand the situation and explore options.
    Negotiate a Mutual Termination:

    If the tenant cannot fulfill the tenancy due to the employment pass cancellation, a mutual termination of the tenancy agreement might be the best solution. This allows both parties to move on without penalties (except potential costs for advertising a new tenant).
    Find a Replacement Tenant:

    The tenant can pro-actively search for a replacement tenant who can take over the lease. This would minimize inconvenience for the landlord and potentially shorten any vacancy period.
    Review the Tenancy Agreement:

    In some tenancy agreements, there might be a clause addressing situations where a tenant can break the lease due to unforeseen circumstances. Carefully review the agreement to see if such a clause exists.

    Thank you for your assistance. Please let me know in a scenario. If an employment pass is cancelled, the tenant has signed a new contract at Hdb prior to being aware of possible cancellation of pass. How can it be sorted with the management of the building or land lord?
    I appreciate your time and assistance
    Thank you
