Asked by
This is my first time renting a HDB unit and I do not have an agent to represent me. I paid the 1mth rental deposit, will only move in end Jun. I went to have another viewing at the unit after my confirmation. There are quite a number of defects in the house. eg,. rusty door knobs, missing door handles. Their agent said they will have it fixed. May I know if the owners are required to get the whole place cleaned up before handing over to us? Will there be a inventory list? What if the appliances or fan stopped working during our rental period? The house is not that well maintained by the previous tenants. So my main concern is if their furnitures and appliances starts to break down, I do not want them to start claiming us.

All these concerns would have been addressed if you were to appoint a salesperson for this transaction. As you have already paid your deposit, withdrawing from this transaction is likely to mean that you will forfeit the deposit.

Subject to terms and conditions you have put in the offer to rent the place, it may not be necessary for landlord to address these defects. You should look into the details of tenancy agreement to find out the covenants of landlord and tenant.
