In Singapore FOR 1 ROOM RENTAL, terminating a tenancy agreement early due to health reasons can be a complex situation. Here's a breakdown of your situation and what you can do:

Deposit Forfeiture:

The landlord can only forfeit your deposit if there's a legitimate reason as stated in the tenancy agreement. Health reasons might be considered depending on the agreement's wording.
Rental Fee:

Early termination typically requires paying rent for the notice period stated in the agreement (usually one month). However, if your health condition genuinely prevents you from staying and you can provide documentation, there might be room for negotiation.
Agent Fee:

The landlord cannot force you to pay the agent's fee for finding a new tenant unless it's explicitly stated in the tenancy agreement that you're liable for such fees in case of early termination.
Here's what you can do:

***THE KEY IS :Review your Tenancy Agreement: Carefully examine the clauses related to early termination, deposit forfeiture, and agent fees.***

Hi Jackson,

Sorry to hear about what you are going through. As we are unaware on the terms and conditions of your agreement with the landlord, it will be inappropriate for us to have any opinion on this. In most of the agreements I have handled where there is no premature termination clause involved, tenant will need to pay for the remaining lease period even if the lease is terminated earlier, and in this instance, landlord can be considered lenient if he only forfeits the deposit as well as looking to claim back the agent fees. Do seek professional legal advise if possible.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.
