Asked by Mdm. C Ting
For Commercial Office/warehouse tenancy (TA has been signed) but agent has left out clauses, leading to our following questions -
There were no terms and conditions or clauses included in the Tenancy Agreement with regards to Fitting Out. The agreed Letter of Intent states tenant wishes to remove a current partition and build new ones, but nothing was mentioned in TA. Now tenant requests to take the keys 1 month prior to start date of TA, rent free :
1) what can be done to protect the landlord's rights and indemnity should the tenant cause mishaps, damages or fires etc to the unit during the fitting out period since none of this was mentioned in the TA?
2) are there any documents that need to be signed for the start of the fitting out period?
3) is a renovation/fitting out deposit the norm, if yes, what amount and is there paperwork available for this, and should it be collected by landlord, or building mgt?
