Hi all,
I am looking out for some *trustworthy* agents/agencies contacts for finding a 2 bed room unit some where between Boonlay to Red hill. I have been in Singapore for 2 years. I have personally had bad experiences and I also did see some of my friends having bad experiences with agents here. It almost drives me to night mares to deal with these people.
The first incident is that - we(me and my friends) rented a house. We were only allowed to see the house when the owner was already staying there, so we did not get any chance to inspect the facilities(infrastructure). The house was good though. We took up the house. It was only after moving in, we realized everything in the house was very bad. The sofa was reckoned, bed bugs all around, the water in the taps were thin as a thread, the cup boards were to be handled like a baby otherwise they break down and so on. We tried getting back to the agent from our side - he picks up n cuts the calls or never picks up at all. The house owner side agent yells at us whenever we call. And, the owner was not at all reachable.
In an another incident with my friend - I don't know if its right or wrong, the house owner took a security deposit(one month rent) but later they were unable to move in. So he never returned the deposit. He made them go behind him like anything and finally denied to pay back even a penny. The agent(on both sides) did not even speak a word on this issue. I am not sure if its legal here, but morally sounded very bad to me.
I am not sure if any of you have faced these kind of things, but these made me lose faith in agents here.
Well for these reasons, I am looking for some reliable or trustworthy agents or agency contacts. Thanks.
Cheers,
Abi
But frankly, I am really helpless and had no other go other than to ask it. I am sorry anyways, did not mean to violate the rules.
