The agent tried everything to get out of it (including hassling my landlord) but I wou...

Thanks for the replies so far. My notice was given in writing and so was the proof from my employer that I was leaving the country.

Hi I'm moving home to New Zealand in a few weeks and I've just run into some issues with my agent.

Hiya

I'm in the River Valley area as well and relatively new to Singapore (arrived last May). Send me a PM if you want to catch up for a drink.
