| You may try report to the nearest police neighbourhood station. State your case to them, though they might not be able to help, at least you can use the police report to taunt the owner. |

One thing you need to know is most landlords are bad and cannot be trusted. They won't keep their promise and they are blood sucker. Kindness landlords are less (but I bet you will not lucky always to meet these angels). Remember don't return anything to landlord if you haven't get back your deposit. If he wants the key, then ask for deposit. Reject any excuses given by landlords from not to return your deposit.
From my opinion, I believe he will forfeit your deposit. There are many victims cannot get back their deposit. I hope you will not be the next victim. Be careful with the greedy landlord. |

A tenant has no rights in Singapore. The contract you signed is worth nothing. Its only useful if OWNER wants to use it.
Police wont help you. There have been worst cases I know where they refused to take any action against landlord.
So only thing you can do is to co-operate with the landlord. Let him bring new tenants. Try to be in his good books. So that he takes pity on you and refunds you the deposit without too much fuss. If you try to report to police or anything, you can definitely say bye bye to your deposit.
In Singapore everything is perfect if you dont get into some trouble. But once you are in a problem, it is terribly difficult to get out. System is totally biased against the employee/tenant etc. Rules always support the rich and powerful. Thats just the way this country is. Get used to it. |

There should be a diplomatic clause stated in the TA...if not then it will be difficult to claim.
However if there is and deposit are being forfeited, do take legal actions against owners as they are voiding the terms of tenancy...
AGENTS! Please understand that your job is to provide real estate service and advice..please do not pass unscrupulous remarks..BE PROFESSIONAL |

Agreed. Check if there is a diplomatic clause in your tenancy agreement.
Did you go through an agent to get the property for u? If so, you may have to pay back a pro rated amount to the landlord for the commission he paid to the agent to secure your tenancy.
As for the refund of your deposit, its all subjected to the conditions stated in your tenancy agreement
Its obviously the owner wants someone to continue the tenancy. Its your choice to assist him or not in this case.
Cheers! |

Yupe ..singapore is in a sorry state for low end workers due to out of control rentals.
Owners and agents are charging and quoting rents that are astronomical. Imaging paying $1.8k / month for a property valued at 180K. You would have paid more than 180k in 10 years.
In another words, if you are not an expatriate, you will be working for the landlords!! |
