After going through countless listings and viewing several properties along the way, you’ve finally found the perfect property to rent in Singapore. It’s clean, cosy, and the landlord is agreeable. And despite rising rental prices, you’ve managed to snag a good deal. You find yourself staring at it for what seems like an hour, confused with what everything means. Not to worry, we’re here to help you break down the lease agreement.
If you’re the kind of person who’d rather forgo food and water for an entire day than go through a legal agreement line by line, think of your lease agreement as a way to protect you (and your landlord).
A standard rental or lease agreement lists down the terms and conditions that you and the landlord have agreed on. As a tenant, the rights and responsibilities you have are explicitly stated in your lease agreement.
The lease agreement is a document you can take reference from should there be any disagreements about issues such as monthly rent, maintenance and repairs, and privacy.
A lease agreement in Singapore usually includes the following information:
| ➤ Full name and address of both the landlord and tenant |
| ➤ Address of the property to be rented |
| ➤ Lease period |
| ➤ Payment of rent, specifying if it includes the utility bill |
| ➤ Payment schedule and details |
| ➤ Any additional fees, such as stamp fees or agent commission |
| ➤ Inventory list of all the items in the rental property, including their condition |
| ➤ Diplomatic clause |
| ➤ Use of premises |
| ➤ The immigration status of tenant and occupiers |
| ➤ Maintenance of flat and effects |
| ➤ Tenant’s covenants, such as paying rent, no subletting, and keeping the property in good condition |
| ➤ Landlord’s covenants, such as providing a property suitable for people to live in |
| ➤ Notices |
| ➤ Termination of lease |
| ➤ Suspension of rent |
