Dear tenant,
Subject to the signed tenancy agreement terms and conditions, it is not as straightforward as forfeiting your security deposit and paying 1 month agent commission. Most 2 year lease for foreigners has a diplomatic clause that can be applied after 12 months stay and will require the tenant to give a 2 months notice to landlord in order to vacate, but this clause only applies if tenant need to move out of Singapore.
Otherwise, tenant will be subjected to compensate the full amount of the tenancy agreement, therefore in your case, landlord can go after the balance 21 months rent which you have not fulfilled. 1 of my rental transaction was quite similar to this, where tenant just renewed for 2 years lease but was posted out of Singapore by the office just about 3 months into the new tenancy agreement. Landlord took legal action against the tenant and tenant had to pay the remaining months of rent until they fulfilled the duration of lease where they can invoke on the diplomatic clause.
Read the tenancy agreement carefully and if you are unsure about the terms and conditions, I will advise you to seek professional legal assistance.
I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 10years 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 clients’ 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.
