I have dispute with LL agent where they hold partial amount of my deposit for something they claims "damage" e.g rusty hinges, slight stain on kitchen top or some loose part...
I have file case with SCT. My case a bit complicated where landlord are: A & B, they gave power of attorney to C for signed the rental agreement. All the renting process however deal with their agent (called it D).
A, B and C all overseas. We only liaise with D (agent) and all the "damages" were also raised by D.
Submit SCT, I have file against these 4 person due to I do not have contact details for the A,B,C. Registrar mentioned I have file against wrongly or file too many people in this case. What can I do when I do not have their contact?
1) I have sent registered post of the consultation notice to the unit I have rented before since that is their property. It seems with this I can't proof they area aware of this SCT. I have email address of C and did sent soft copy of the respondent copy to him, but I never receive any reply.
2) I have signed 2 years contract initially and extended the stay by signed again another 2 years contract. Under SCT jurisdiction, max tenancy is just 2 years. D claims that my case not under jurisdiction of SCT due to 4 years stay. I have seek legal clinic for lawyer advice, lawyer mentioned it is fresh 2 years agreement. However, I'm not sure does court/judger review the same?
May I know any expert here or anyone have similar experience with me could share some thought with me, if my case is fall under jurisdiction for SCT? If it is not, anything else I can do?
Thanks!
