  2. Hi Roland, Thanks for your sharing. from my experience: - it is harder to rent out a non-furnished than furnished flat. but considering problem that might appear in the future, non-furnished flat is much better for everyone interest. if you have furnished flat, it have to be written in detail, clear, simple, plain and understandable english sentence in lease agreement. if you have a custom/ full wide and high tv cabinet, please be written in detail, clear, simple, plain and understandable english sentence in lease agreement that it can't be fully/ partly dismantle at any time. - tenant probation period. I will lower rental fee 50% for first 3 months, to see/ experience what kind of tenant rent my flat in the future. this insentive 50% for first 3 month because landlord have option for not continue the remaining 9 months of the lease agreement. - late payment terms i will make late payment as: more than 5 days late will have 10% interest form rental fee. 5-10 days or mroe late will have 50% interest form rental fee. 11 days or more late will have 100% interest form rental fee. 3-6 times late, either continuous or not, will have 50% interest form rental fee 7 or more times late, either continuous or not, will have 100% interest form rental fee.
  3. hi, i want share some tips to rent out a flat my own experience. - don't rush to rent out your flat. even a central location flat that walkin to mrt station under shelter in 5 min, could be take 6-9 months or more to get a good tenant. - don't judge the tenant by their profession, nationality, personal status, etc. many people think local people could be less problem of payment, cooperation, etc compare other nationality. many people think have single's tenant is much better than a family that have young kids. dirty place can be somehow clean up with relative small cost but damage place definitely need more cost. - don't shy/ shame to have more than 10-20 pages of lease agreement. make sure the lease agreement written in clear, simple, plain, readable or understandable by common people for each rules/ conditions. do not thinking, it is a standard/ common sense thing. what you think it is standard/ common sense thing maybe not for other people. - be open and straight forward in the begining of the deal, before accept the downpayment. make sure every thing been said have writeen in the lease agreement in simple, plain and understandable english sentence. be open or honest that this agreement is a pure/ 100% business transaction and not something like charity/ non profit/ mercy relief organization, where you can accept a-z, incredible, touching story (just assume it is a real story) of what ever. please don't get anything wrong/ feel shy/ shame about it in the first place, because some tenant think, they are dealing with charity/ non profit/ mercy relief organization instead of normal individual owner. - don't shy/ shame to ask tenant lifestyle/ comfortable level. again, don't judge the tenant by their profession, nationality, personal status, etc. be mature and straight forward that the rent cost is this price for this location/ place. i believe and sure for same available bedroom no. the rent price will be different whether it is 5 or 50 minutes walk to mrt or whether it is central or outside central. because some people have/ used to a very high lifestyle/ comfortable level but with normal earning level. and to achieve that very high lifestyle/ comfortable level, these people will try anything from a-z, incredible, touching story (just assume it is a real story) for excuse of their defence. again, please don't get anything wrong/ feel shy/ shame about it in the first place, - terms of late payment should be as clear as possible. don't shy/ shame to put in clear, simple, plain and understandable english sentence for late payment terms. is it ok if every month payment late more than 10 working days? if payment late than 10 working day, tenant paid the late interest, than when should be the tenant pay for the remaining months. is it ok if every month tenant paid the late interest payment? if the payment due on 1st day of the month, is that mean you will receive the money of that day, or the tenant will take out the money on that day but landlord received 1-3 days later (something like bank transfer/ auto giro/ post/ etc) sad to be hear/ know, something like this people will think/ say "late 1-3 day, you already not happy". to be honest and mature, can you say every month "late 1-3 day, you already not happy" to your car/ flat/ credit card loan person in charge? - be clear about how many bedroom available. if you have 1 bedroom locked, don't shy/ shame to put in clear, simple, plain and understandable english sentence in lease agreement, that the room available is exclude that locked bedroom. don't shy/ shame to put in clear, simple, plain and understandable english sentence in lease agreement, more detail that any kind/ situation, partition to make additional bedroom is not allowed for what ever reason. - be clear about how many percentage that the flat will be use as home, home office, bedrooms and bathrooms only, etc don't shy/ shame to ask this question and write it in clear, simple, plain and understandable english sentence in lease agreemen. do you care if your flat from previously a normal place for living become a pure bedroom and bathrooms only. - don't shy/ shame to share your expectation to rent out a flat. if you expect, a family who will live as a normal family, need kitchen, need living room, need dining room, etc, please stick firm to that expectation. if you expect, any people will do, maybe no need kitchen, no need living room, no need dining room, etc, you can do that too. - be clear about how many average people will visit or just come in and come out in a week. don't shy/ shame to ask this question and write it in clear, simple, plain and understandable english sentence in lease agreemen. do you want about 10-30 different peoples each week in average visit your flat? because some neighbor with young kids feel not comfortable about so many different people come in and out/ by pass their corridor daily. i hope my experience can help many landlord to get a good tenant.
  4. hi.., i have many questions about renting a flat, hope someone can share their knowledge and experience to benefit other people like me who know less about renting rule or can't get this information over internet. 1a. when you rent out a flat, what ideal expectation in your mind about how tenant will do with your flat. I mean dirty, messy, damage, etc should be all in different category. 1b. if you rent out your flat in full furnish condition, what you will do if tenant dismantle a full tv cabinet (wide -+ 7.5 meter, height 1.9 meter) without your permission. 1c. if you rent out your flat with 1 bedroom locked, what you will do if tenant unlock, move the item to living room and use the room without your permission. 2. i rent out a flat without a property agent, but the tenant use property agent to rent the flat. my poa sign only 1 lease agreement. In this lease agreement, there is 2 property agent name as a witness and there are no property agency/ agent name is any page of the lease agreement. in the witness, only have name, nric and Rxxxxx no. of the agent (that i assume a property agent) and no property agency name at all. so is this lease agreement bond to that property agent ? 3a. in my certificate stamp duty, there is a document reference no and document description as tenancy agreement. but my lease agreement don't have a document reference no. Should my lease agreement have that document reference no state in stamp duty? 3b. if at point 5a is correct, this 2 property agent use their own lease agreement and use it to make a stamp duty, is their conduct wrong by sign other lease agreement(my lease agreement) as a witness and manipulate it as a real/ legal one? 4. to be honest, if there is a problem with a tenant(for my case that not use property agent to rentout the flat), is the only way to solve the problem by hire a lawyer? because just dont want waste time to contact some organization and at the end give suggestion to hire a lawyer. thanks in advance for everyone for their sharing and contribution.
  5. hi all, thanks for all suggestion/ idea. the problem till now somehow not clear/ solve 100%. tenant agree to remove partition but since that never open curtain ot door any more as it used too, even for whole sat or sun. headache
  6. Hi.., i rent out an hdb flat with out agent. in the lease agreement that have hdb stamp duty state: not to make or permit to be made any alterations to the premises or to any fixture or fittings or deface any part of the premises. but somehow within just 1 month rent, the tenant created partition in living room for bedroom without inform or seek approval from me. when I tell the tenant to remove the partition, the tenant do not want coorporate/ agree to remove the partition and want to think about it first for 1 week. any suggestion what i can do in advance? to me it is clear the tenant has a not good intention for not coorporate/ agree to remove the partition and want to think about it for 1 week.
