My landlord did not renew our tenancy lease agreement for three months now but we still pay on time and she still accept our payments. She now wants to increase the lease so we asked to negotiate, she declines and now says we need to leave due to the 6 cap rule. We are a total of 7 pax in the apartment which has partitions. She accepted the most recent tenant knowing she will exceed the cap, now she asked for increment, but when we didn't say okay in the very beginning, she threatens us with eviction.
1. With the lease being expired, does that make us illegal occupants here in the apartment?
2. Does the agreement on the expired lease now null and void?
3. Does that mean she can enter the room without our permission? (She changed the doorknobs of the other tenant in front of us before for late payment of rent)
4. Can she really evict us this way? (She has been trying to evict one tenant the past 7 months but the old man blocked her on WhatsApp, does not come out of the room when she is around, etc due to safety hazards)
5. Where can I report her exceeding the cap and if I do so since I am the one with an expired lease (for all I know), will I still be the losing party here?
It is really difficult for us to find time to pack and move, nevertheless to look for a suitable room to rent in. We are also planning to move out of Singapore this year anyway so we just want to stay in for the remaining months ahead.
Thank you to anyone who will reply.
