Evening,

It would be prudent to consult your servicing agent and seek his advice as he would know the details, be it written or verbal, when you have signed the TA.

Dear tenant,

You may also wish to examine the tenancy agreement to see if there is any provision for you to terminate the tenancy agreement prematurely by giving 1.5 month notice to landlord, otherwise the tenancy agreement have stated the lease commencement date and when it expires, meaning there is provision for premature termination. Typically for 1 year lease which I have handled, there is no provision for early termination unless both landlord and tenant agree.

I would encourage you to work out a solution amicably with the landlord instead of going to the lawyer and spend more money to pay the lawyer than the outstanding rental amount which is about 1.5month rent.
