Hi, everyone. Thank you for your advice so far. I have gone to easy room mate, gumtree, and craigslist to advertise to anyone who may be interested to take over my lease. Since I am paying for my ads in easy room mate, I also advertised my landlord's master's bedroom vacancy and I have been giving h...

Is the person you refer to as the "landlord", the owner of the unit you are staying at? Well, we get the idea he isn't the owner. He tells us that we always have to keep our doors locked because the owner wants to come over to check the place. We have no qualms with that -- we even mentioned that j...

So I don't get this bit from you and SMS. If it is a private property (say condo), a foreigner can own it. Why can't they rent it (or a room) out? Is that explicitly prohibited? Note that OP never said this was HDB. Later posts make me believe you're right for this case because of shadiness, but yo...

i think the OP should man up. i know plenty of foreigners on student/work passes who sublet... or enter into an informal "shared" rental arrangement. let's assume the OP has no contract, but he still entered into a similar arrangement and because he lost his job and he's figured a way to twist the ...

Thanks. We are set to have a discussion on the weekend. I also noticed that he goes back to his home destination every so often, probably to renew his entry stamp to Singapore? If he does have permission from the landlord, can I ask for proof? The contract isn't even stamped. High chance he is doin...

G means he's either on an EP/S or WP. Not a PR. PR starts with the letter 'S". Good possibility that he's doing a illegal unless he's got permission from the landlord. However, I believe that IRAS might be interested to learn that he's has a sideline income that I doubt seriously, he's reporting to...

Currently on EP. Landlord is the same.

EP landlord? I don't believe that's legal. One has to be PR or citizen and even with PR, there are a lot of caveats.

Does your NRIC change if you have been converted to PR? His NRIC number starts with G.

It's a plant I bought from Ikea. I really don't want to leave it.

some asian countries might have an english customs website you could poke around in.

Going to the Philippines. I heard you have to submit documents?

I am thinking of bringing my plant from here (bought it from Ikea) to another country within Asia. Has anyone does this before? Thanks.

I have recently lost my job. I have informed my landlord around 75 days (more than 2 months) about my situation, and that I will be breaking the lease. I have requested that she should use my deposit as my last month's rent, but she has refused unless I find a replacement for my lease. What rights d...
