Subject to the amount of deposit yet to be returned as well as the lease duration, you maybe able to send a letter of demand, if still fail, file claims against the landlord in the small claims tribunal should amount be within the range that can be handled by SCT. Otherwise you will need to engage a lawyer to do so.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

    Yes but the bank transfer is instant. We have sent rent on time, even a day or two before regularly for the past 3 years. So the location should not be an excuse.

    You can make file small claims, however, since you mentioned that the Landlord is not in Singapore, this could be the reason in delay of refunding. Is the agent responding to you for the refund process or has the agent gone cold in response?

    Lease duration was 1 year, the deposit is 8k. The landlord is not in singapore though, can I still file small claims
Hi,

Keep checking on the landlord agent on why the delay, and if all else flail, then you may file a claim against the landlord with the small claims tribunal.
