Hi,

Terminating a tenancy agreement involves a lot of hassle and can be subjected to various penalties or even potential law suit. If things go awry, the sale can't be completed and you can potentially be left in limbo. I'm sure you want to purchase with a peace of mind as well.

Perhaps you might want to consider other units if there's no breakthrough with that unit. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Good evening buyer,

I assume that you are looking to purchase an unit for own occupation.

Normally for unit selling with tenancy, you have to purchase it with tenancy.

Usually sellers wont terminate the tenancy agreement because they will subject to penalty according to TA.

Some standard clauses will be:

1) pro rated commission to tenants for what they had paid to their representative
2) might have to pay security deposit to tenant for breach of contract etc

Thats why you will seldom encounter sellers that will terminate lease for the sake of buyers.

You might want to consider units selling with vacant possession (without tenancy).

By the way, my team has advised and assisted numerous clients in growing and restructuring their property portfolio.

WIll you be keen to find out more about how to save on tax and able to hold *two properties (one for own stay and one for investment)?

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi friend,

As explained by fellow agents, all tenancies are legally bound.

Owners cannot simply terminate the lease as and when they choose, same goes to the tenants.

Since it is a condo, this is just but one of the unit.
Since it is to be sold with tenancy, why dont you just look for another within the same condo project that is not tenanted ?

Do contact me if you need help or more info.

Hi Sir/Mdm,

If there are no early termination option in the tenancy agreement, the landlord will not be able to terminate the lease prematurely.

For your case, it will be ideal to purchase a unit which is selling vacant or a new project that is nearing TOP. For the sale of your HDB, it will be recommended to request for an extension of stay to your buyers so that you will have more than sufficient time to renovate the new place and move your items over.

I have assisted many of my clients transit and upgrade seamlessly from HDB to private properties. Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation and assist you further!!

Hi buyer,

Why don't you buy the unit and terminate the tenancy yourself as the legal owner? With the penalties involved, that's not too wise an option for the current owner to do so, with no legal obligations by you should the deal not go through.

Feel free to contact me, and we can discuss further from there.

Thanks and regards,
