Good morning. I have a question about rental renewal. We have a 2 year contract that is coming to an end in Sept. We would like to renew. We informed the landlord of some repairs that must be done. The landlord's agent has now told us that the landlord's daughter who lives overseas might return to Singapore and move into the property. We feel that this is because they do not want to invest in the upkeep of the property. When we asked the agent when the landlord will decide if the daughter will move in, she said she doesn't know because she doesn't ask personal questions. This is ridiculous as we need to prepare. We are very certain that they are not being truthful about this.
When a tenant wishes to renew the lease, does the tenant have the right to do so as long as both parties agree to terms? I assume the rent remains the same unless otherwise discussed and agreed to. Does landlord need to show proof that her family is moving in if that is the reason for non-renewal? Thank you!
