Asked by
Hi, I had signed letter of intent and paid good faith deposit to an agent for renting an HDB. After the payment we didnt want to rent it. We told the agent that we did not want to continue. But agent said we have to pay the full security deposit anyways because the owner had signed letter of intent. So we paid the full deposit and signed the TA a few days after that. But before stamping the TA, we told the agent that we did not want to go ahead. We told agent not to do the stamping. So stamping was not done. Is the TA still valid? We also not sure whether our money is with the agent or the owner? Are we entitled to get the deposit back since the TA was not stamped? Thank you.

Hi,

I afraid you cannot get the deposit back because both parties have signed the TA and full security deposit have been paid. The TA is a legally binding contract now.

Dear tenant,

Without examining the terms and conditions of the LOI and TA, we cannot determine what your entitlement or consequence is, nevertheless, under usual circumstances where rental transaction is brokered by a registered salesperson, you will not be entitled for any refund and may even be made to pay the full amount of the rental contract if you decide to back out even if you have not sent in the tenancy agreement for stamping.
