Yes, it is perfectly legal to have a tenancy agreement between a landlord and tenant in Singapore without involving an agent. Here's a breakdown:
Validity: A well-drafted tenancy agreement signed by both parties is a legally binding contract, regardless of using an agent.
Benefits of an Agent: While not mandatory, using an agent can offer advantages like:
Drafting Assistance: Agents can help ensure the agreement is comprehensive and addresses key points.
Mediation: If disputes arise, agents can sometimes act as mediators.
DIY Option: If you choose to proceed without an agent, ensure the agreement includes essential details like:
Names and contact details of landlord and tenant
Address of the property
Rental period and amount
Payment terms (due date, late fees)
Security deposit details
Utilities and maintenance responsibilities
Termination clauses

Remember, while a basic agreement might suffice, it's always recommended to carefully review the document to ensure it protects the interests of both parties.
