aircon servicing

In the Tenancy Agreement, it was stipulated that a copy of the aircon servicing report needs to be forwarded to landlord for record keeping. In the event that this is not so, what are the repercussions?

minor repairs under fair wear and tear. Who pays?

the toilet flushing system in the unit is weak and making noises. it seems that minor repairs or a look by the plumber is required. i am curious, in such circumstances, who is responsible for the cost of repair - Tenant or landlord? p/s: there is a repair clause in TA that says all expendable items ...

You are voicing your frustrations from tenant's point of view.... but me, as a landlord for first time, also face similar frustrations. The fact that he doesn't bother to understand/look at the unit first before he runs the advertisements in papers/web already pissed me off, after we signed agreemen...

that's what I believe so too...either i am unfortunate or the level of professionalism in these agents are non-existent...

I have paid my agent commission. on hindsight, I should have paid in parts throughout the TA period....or is this practice illegal?

Duty of a property agent

Particularly in the rental market, when would you consider your agent’s duties are done? For e.g., after a tenancy agreement is signed between tenant and landlord, does the agent’s duties end thereafter? Or does it end after a month’s of ‘warranty’ period that all things are fine? Or end only after ...

Nope, I haven't agreed to any of the clause, that's why I was asking. And I haven't done anything to screw the tenant. Whatever he/she wants, stated in the LOI, I have, in my best capacity, gotten for him/her. But because a TA is a legal binding document, before I put my big signature on the dotted ...

yeah, everyone's feedback has a point or two. while i try to put myself in the shoes of the tenant's, i also do not want to sign my life away and end up on a losing end...especially when the opposite party is a corporate who is armed with a team of legal experts. I will try to get them to get rid of...

I am for real, 100%. long story as to why I have to stick to this agent. so only way to protect myself is to check umpteen times on every single details. this is the actual clause. "in the event if there is a closure of the building's facilities like, swimming pool, gym room, tennis court, squash co...

Legal advice needed on tenancy agreement

First, I must state I am a Landlord here. I searched through many forum and noted most times fear/concerns are being raised from tenant's pt of view. But pls note i meant no harm and merely asking for advice here. My relationship with my agent is strained and I suspect he is trying to cheat. In the ...
