Asked by
I am a landlord and was introduced to a tenant by Orange Tee. The tenant signed a 2 year tenancy agreement but moved out after 21 days. Now Orange Tee is asking for payment of the full 24 month commission for introducing the tenant who broke the lease and not paid me rent. Should I pay the full 24 month commission to Orange Tee?

Hi John, in legal term, im sorry that you will have to pay the 1 month rental with gst as commission to the agency. As the commission form had already stated that the agent duty is to source for a tenant and once a tenant is found, the job is done and complete.

Hi John,

I can understand your situation. In this case, you can forfeit the security deposit of the Tenant, and claim all other "damages" from the Tenant who broke the contract. Agents commission can be considered as a "damage".

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi John,

From a professional angle, no one will be able to determine if a tenant will break lease or not when we are marketing a property for rent, therefore when there is a trigger of premature termination to a tenancy, the landlord also reserves the right to seek compensation from the tenant who breaks lease, to recover the amount loss through the tenancy period, should there be a provision in tenancy agreement for such compensation.

Of course, in the best scenario, you can perhaps speak to the agent involve to see if there can be any revision in the amount.

All the best to you.
