I understand you're facing challenges with your newly purchased tenanted unit in Singapore. Here's a breakdown of the issues and some advice:
Issue 1: Leftover Furniture
Tenant's Responsibility: Generally, tenants are responsible for keeping the rental unit clean and tidy. This doesn't necessarily include removing furniture that doesn't belong to them.
Verification and Communication:
Check your Tenancy Agreement. It might specify responsibilities regarding leftover furniture.
Contact the previous owner and clarify if the furniture belongs to them.
Discuss the situation with the tenant. If the furniture truly belongs to the previous owner, they might be willing to remove it upon collection.
Resolving the Issue:
If the previous owner acknowledges ownership, negotiate a timeframe for them to remove the furniture.
If no agreement is reached, you might need to explore mediation or legal options (involving potential costs).
Issue 2: Damaged Window
Wear and Tear vs. Damage: Normal wear and tear is expected over time. However, damage exceeding wear and tear is the tenant's responsibility.
Evidence and Documentation:
Ideally, you should have conducted a joint inspection with the tenant before they moved in, documenting the condition of the window (with photos or videos).
If you don't have such documentation, it might be difficult to prove the damage pre-dated the tenancy.
Potential Solutions:
Try to negotiate a solution with the tenant to share the repair cost.
If the damage is significant and the tenant is unresponsive, refer to your Tenancy Agreement. It might outline procedures for repairs and deductions from the security deposit.
