Asked by
I had rented a room nearly to a year, out of sudden the agent contacted me that the landlord are going to exercise her right to serve 2 month notice to retrieve back the room due to health reason. I respect her decision to do so. However, a lot of funny things happen after the notice started.
1. Not allowed to use the fridge
2. Knock on my door in the middle of the night or wee hours
3. Others till I cant remember

I started to have depression and worried to stay over the room until i move out earlier than expected.

5days before I handover the key, the agent posted again the new listings for that room. I suspect the landlord and agent are together on this, please advise or how to let the next tenant not to be their victim.

Sorry to hear about this, but if you have documented evidence of these, you may wish to report to CEA for wrongdoing of the agent. Somehow, agent may also be influenced by the landlord to carry out the activity, but if such things are happening, the best interest for you is to move out as soon as possible so that you know that you are in a safe place.

✔1 If your tenancy was ended for “personal use” but the room was re-listed shortly after, it raises concern. While not illegal by default, it may show lack of transparency or possible bad faith

✔2 You can document all evidence (messages, timelines, incidents) and consider reporting the agent to Council for Estate Agencies if there is unprofessional conduct

✔3 To help future tenants, share a factual and honest review on rental platforms or forums so others can be more aware before committing

Sorry to hear about your experience. It sounds like the landlord wanted to to move on to a new tenant. Hope you are able to move on to a different place where the landlord treats the tenants better.

Hi, sorry to hear about your experience — that sounds very stressful.

From a Singapore rental perspective, there are a few key points that may help clarify things:

1. Notice vs. right to stay
If your tenancy agreement allows the landlord to serve a 2-month notice, they are generally within their rights to do so. However, during this notice period, you still have the right to quiet enjoyment of the premises.

2. Use of common areas
If your agreement included access to shared facilities (e.g. fridge, kitchen), restricting this without valid reason may be considered a breach of the tenancy terms.

3. Disturbances (late-night knocking, etc.)
Repeated disturbances, especially at odd hours, can be seen as interference with your peaceful occupation. Tenants are entitled to reasonable privacy and comfort during their stay.

4. Re-listing of the room
It is not uncommon for landlords or agents to market the room before the current tenancy ends to minimize vacancy. On its own, this does not necessarily mean wrongdoing, unless there was clear misrepresentation or bad faith tied to contractual terms.

5. If you feel unfairly treated. You may consider:
*Reviewing your tenancy agreement for any breached clauses
*Keeping records of incidents (messages, dates, etc.)
*Reaching out to the agent for clarification in writing

If needed, you can also approach the Council for Estate Agencies if the agent’s conduct is in question, or the Small Claims Tribunals for certain disputes.

Wishing you a smoother transition to your next place, and hope your next rental experience is a much better one.
