Speaking as a landlord.. At the end of a tenancy, If the damage to any furniture is cosmetic (subjective matter) and to a degree where such an item would not be preferred by the next tenant, would that entitle one to expect a full replacement or cost in lieu, of such item.
Say a faux leather recliner where the leather has peeled off to a large extent.
The tenancy agreement speaks of tenant being "responsible for minor repairs and replacement of parts and other expendable items upto 150 sgd per item. When exceeded, the amount above 150 sgd to be borne by the landlord."
What if the recliner mechanism itself was fully damaged? Then can one expect a replacement or the reimbursement in cost for a new one?
Advise would be greatly appreciated.
