You need to engage a lawyer to work on this case if you wish to get anything out of the situation. Otherwise the only way forward is either accept their proposal or look for alternative place on your own.

Enforcement of your contractual rights cannot be done via realtors. Read More

Did you have an agent supporting you when you first signed the contract? That would be the first person you might go to for support and mediation with the landlord. If you opted to sign directly with the company without engaging the help of an professional agent on your side, you might have to resolve the issue on your own.

For the amount of rent you are paying, you may not find it worthwhile to engage a lawyer. Nevertheless, you do have that option to seek justice against the co-living company if you feel they have have wronged you.

If you were a client of mine and I were representing you as your tenant agent, I would personally not take 'company policy' as a valid excuse from the co-living company. But you have to weigh your options.

Perhaps seek for a better room from the co-living company at a discounted rent over the 3-month period. Or you can start looking for an alternative place immediately and see if the co-living company will pay you out for the remainder term of your current lease.

All the best and let me know if you need help for your next property move. Besides sourcing for the location, I also help my clients with market research, property analysis, negotiation, tenant protection and paperwork.

QUOTE OF THE DAY " In negotiations, the most important thing is not to win or lose, but to find a solution that is mutually beneficial." Read More

Hi,

1) There is always a laspe between the lease agreement signed by the coliving company & the owner, because it takes time to find a tenant and the a later shift-in date.
2) They are breaching the contract by asking you to move out. Thus, you are on the upperhand.
3) You can negotiate to have more benefit such as monetary compensation, longer lease period at a lower rent, etc.
4) The signing of a fresh tenancy agreement is legal, as this is required by the URA, i.e. law and policy.
5) Although, this should be advised by a lawyer. But, note that if this is going to be handle by a lawyer, the cost that would incurred will not be low.
6) If this is going to be bring up to court, you will be expecting to pay at least $10k to begin with.
7) So, you cannot push all the way. As they might have no choice but to deal this by law.

All The Best!!!
