SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

Hello, I have been reading this forum as my position is similar to many others who have written before me. The TA for my unit was between my ex-employer (on behalf of and underwritten by me) and the landlord. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I left the employment of this company the same day...

As suggested by some of you previously, I should consider suing the compan...

Can anyone please suggest a good lawyer for advising on tenancy disputes. Much appreciated.

@offshoreoildude & @jr8: Thanks for your reply. I ought to have been more specific about the TA. I was on a local remuneration package (as opposed to expat package) which meant that all my housing, education etc was provided to me on a Cost to Company basis.
