Asked by Mr. jason ang
Hi Guru, I recently bought a property with tenant in it. 3 months before the lease expires, the tenant contacted me for renewal. So I drafted a new contract and get him to sign. Now the problem is 1 month after the new contract is signed and stamped, the agent came knocking and asked for his commission. He then showed me a contract made between the old landlord and the estate agent. Basically the contract says that owner has to pay 1 month commisssion for renewal. I told him that I didn't know that such contract between the old landlord and the estate agent existed, and I didn't sign it, the old owner signed it. Question is do I still have to pay agent commission for the renewal, even though I didn't sign the contract in the first place? It seemed a bit ridiculous paying $7000 for doing nothing, not even for typing the new contract, which I did on my own. thx
