Asked by
Will like to know if agent can represent landlord and tenant? Have an agent representing us as tenant but later on went to represent landlord upon non renewal of rental from us. Before handover of unit,agent keeps nit picking on fair wear and tear items which require us to remedy. Is there any case for us to complain?

Hi,

It is an offence for an agent to be a dual representation for both parties.

Dear sir/madam,

In fact, your representing agent's fiduciary duty ends once the unit has been handed over to you when you moved in. (Read https://www.cea.gov.sg/docs/default-source/module/newsletter/4-2018/respect-property-agents-boundaries.html)

In a rental transaction, it is common for such issues of what is fair wear and tear that arises as landlord's and tenant's expectations can be vastly different.
