It is a willing landlord and willing tenant situation. If you are not agreeable to this increase but wish to fight your case on what is market rate increase, then you will need to engage a lawyer to fight this case. Otherwise, you can look for alternative units.
It is definitely not the best time to look into rental renewal or seeking new rental units in current market. Landlords are not charitable organisations, therefore it is reasonable that they are looking to capitalise on the bullish rental market to get the highest rent possible. There are a handful of landlords who don't mind to increase just a little because of tenant profile and also reduce the inconvenience of handing and taking over but they are just a small fraction out there in the market.
There is no use to look for advise on how realistic they can get the amount or just profiteering from the situation because it doesn't help your case at all practically. Time to move on and commit to a new rental as soon as you can because it is anticipated that rental market is continuing to rise over this last quarter.
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.
