Hi.
I keep hearing that it's not uncommon for landlords in Singapore to keep all of the security deposit/bond for no reasonable reason. That they consider normal wear-and tear to be damage caused by the tenant and that small things (e.g. a chip in the floor tile) to require a complete new replacement (e.g. re-tiling the entire floor). That would be something like renting a car and the rental company keeping all your deposit because you wore the tyres down by a few hundred km's and they have to buy band new tyres I guess.
I'd just like to gauge how common this is by running a poll (first attempt at a poll) of forum users based on their actual experience.
Yes, I'm sure there are a few people who'd love to made cynical comments but I'd like to be a litle serious here and get some vaguely statistical information.
Thanks for your time.
