@ecureilx: You're right. My case shouldn't be a judgement on the SCT itself. I would imagine it's still dependent on the individuals. In my case, unfortunately, I felt the registrar was quite dismissive (as if it wasn't worth his time) without even going into the details. I also received wrong advic...

Hi missfong02 and others - Apologies for the delay in posting. Got completely caught up with following up on my case and then some travel, so couldn't reply earlier. So I have a conclusion to my issue now - part good and part bad. Last I had mentioned that I was going through the LL's agency to try ...

@x9200: He just mentioned 'residential address'. After I mentioned that the LL may be living overseas, he said the SCT won't be able to do much in that case and that I'll need to take it up in the Magistrate Court, which has more power in terms of being able to send the notice outside of Singapore, ...

I'm not sure if that is actually the case. I didn't get any of these documents addressed to the LL at that unit. The Registrar didn't seem to be willing to accept that either - when I told him that the unit was the only address I could find for the LL (having done the DP check and checked the owners...

Thanks JR8. Over the last few days, I've pushed my agent more. Unfortunately, she seems a bit clueless herself, so I've asked her to speak around in her agency and find out the next best course of action. I would have followed the method you suggested for serving the notice. However, in my case, the...

Although I don't have any document stating that the particular agent represents the LL, in the Tenancy Agreement it just states the name of his agency as the 'Agent in the transaction'. Apart from that I only have whatever communication I received from the agent on behalf of the landlord. I also fin...

My agent hasn't been very strong in this matter unfortunately. She helped me dig up the title deed for the unit, and has been the go-between for me to the LL's agent. Apart from that, she told me to use the SCT. I think the fact that it's taking a legal route has spooked her, and she's basically tak...

That could be true as well. I wouldn't put it past this agent.

Thanks for your reply. So, to give more details - the crack wasn't there when I took the unit, and neither was it there till the day of the handover. In fact, there were 2 handovers - the first time was the day after my contract expired. It was attended by me, my agent, the landlords agent and someo...

Hi all, I've tried to read most of the posts on this thread to see if there's a solution to my problem, but haven't seen one yet (apologies if I've missed it). I'm in a similar situation as many of you who've posted above, in that the landlord has withheld my deposit and it's now been a month since ...
