Hi Joanne,

Under the legal perspective, you are entitled to claim back whatever amount that you would have lost based on the existing tenancy rate if the breaking of lease is volunteered by the tenant without sufficient grounds. Nevertheless, what Joel has mentioned is very realistic. In my usual practise, I will advise my landlord to start looking for a replacement tenant, and have the existing tenant to continue paying for existing rental until the replacement tenant is found. The service fees for seeking a replacement tenant should also be borne by the existing tenant. I believe this is a amicable way in resolving the existing issue which is fair for both landlord and tenant.

Hi Ms Joanne

Based on what the others have said and advice over here, and if the tenant is hostile and does not want to negotiate further, you have the right to forfeit the 2 months security deposit.

In any case, I guess you have to start looking for a new tenant then...

Pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

Hi Ms Chua, Sorry to learn that you are going through such problem. It is a bit tough to provide any precise solution to your question as everything has to fall back to the tenancy agreement made between Landlord and Tenant. I had seen some TENANCY agreement that had spelled clearly on CONDITIONS of break lease before the 12+2 months DC. Everything fall back to the TA. I hope it help. Read More
