Here’s a breakdown of your situation and some advice on what to do next:

1. **Tenancy Agreement Revision**: If one party becomes unemployed, the tenancy agreement (TA) does not necessarily need to be revised or renewed. However, it’s important to review the terms of your TA to see if there are any clauses related to changes in employment status.

2. **Deposit**: The deposit is typically held as security for the duration of the tenancy. Unless the TA specifies otherwise, the deposit should not be forfeited solely due to a change in employment status. As long as the TA continues and both parties fulfill their obligations, the deposit should remain unchanged.

3. **Next Steps**:
- **Review the TA**: Carefully read through your tenancy agreement to understand any clauses that might be relevant to changes in employment.
- **Communicate with the Landlord**: Inform your landlord about the change in employment status. Open communication can help address any concerns and avoid misunderstandings.
- **Seek Professional Advice**: Consult a property expert or legal advisor to get specific advice tailored to your situation. They can provide guidance on any necessary actions or adjustments to your TA if both landlord and tenant both agree.

Given that 1 party will became unemployed, then this person will be unable to stay in Singapore and will be unable to continue living in this rental unit. You may wish to check if there is any existing premature termination clause for the tenancy agreement, if there is not such provision, it maybe difficult to leave earlier without full payment or perhaps some form of penalties.

If the other party can still finance the monthly rental, but require a new housemate to support, try speaking to the landlord to allow for such provision in private. Any landlord who is reasonable and understanding is likely able to accommodate such arrangements.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 years 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.

This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's 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.
