Mercury1 Turbocharged February 24, 2018 Share February 24, 2018 If an agent placed the tenant there (assume 2 yr contract) typically they would act as liaison between tenant and landlord for the first 2 years resolving disputes and what not. From the way I see it if the property is sold with tenancy and the agent brokered the deal and got comms he/she is still obliged to resolve any issues arising between the new landlord and tenant. My tenant had a direct arrangement with the previous landlord so when I took over I was direct liaison (no agent of course). If the tenant is already there, why would you contact the agent to contact the tenant again to give him extra money.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury1 Turbocharged February 24, 2018 Share February 24, 2018 Wear and tear mate haha, 1.5 year of us taking over had - Washing Machine breakdown - Replace - Air Con Breakdown - Replace - Water heater leak - Replace - Tabletop broke (see below) - Replace The previous landlord must have been quite stingy, anyway we replace all to new items and its been good since. Considering the sofas, bed's, curtain etc etc all more than 10 yrs old and the tenant is fine its actually pretty good. Good fortune for me to buy with this chap renting. That's quite an unusual contract. Usually if the tenant breaks anything they have to replace it. And service the aircon 4 times a year and clean the curtain twice a year etc. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he is nice because you decide to replace everything nicely for him. Most landlords will ask for minor repair clause to kick in first before they replace. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoseyboh Twincharged February 24, 2018 Share February 24, 2018 If get this kind of tenant then have to be very careful. If cannot pay rental at the end of the month then have to think very hard on how to get them to make payment. My frend lagi steam. Rented his apartment in Geylang to a few tiong kok chio bu. Knn can collect rental via bank transfer also dun want. Every month go and collect himself. I ask him why. He says chio bu always open the door in pyjamas.

Mercury1 Turbocharged February 25, 2018 Share February 25, 2018 To be honest I didn't recall what the material was but to be fair that countertop was 15 years old already and installed by the developer (probably on the cheap). Lol I recall when I viewed the unit the agent warned me to be prepared Kitchen basin support table quite badly broken until the other side ‘sengkek’ must have put something really heavy ; is this solid wood?? As usually mostly people use synthetic top made of plastic or granite as this wet area is a real headache if chipboard lagi worse -if the water goes in thru the silicon (or if the installer use cheap $2-$3/- silicon Most furnishing provided by landlord are cheap (i.e ikea chipboard style) and the furnishing already 8 + years so everything is abit touch and go. Not to mentioned got kids etc anything can happen, usually if can rent out unfurnished is best but since I got this with tenant and furnished just deal the hand I got. It was a good price anyway, even if I had to replace all the furnishings I would still close the deal Judging from the description you must be living in the cloud.

Polaris888 Neutral Newbie April 16, 2018 Share April 16, 2018 There will be still situation where the are tenants having problems with lease or breaking lease prematurely. Nonetheless it is important to have terms in tenancy to protect landlord's interest like forfeiture of deposit and penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t as the property is not under her name. If have her name then the pay out is according to the % owned. 2. Risks are too high.

For this, it’s obvious that your wife does not stay there and can’t sublet. If your wife stays there, the subletting amount also has to make sense. This arrangement will only invite yourself to IRAS tea. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If say Condo A is your home, under wife's name (who is a housewife) Condo B is under your name, but being rented out. Is it against the law to declare rental income from B under your wife's income tax? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
