I've heard some stories that that is the case for some.gonzales wrote:Perhaps the LL wants you to break the lease by making you miserable so he can keep your deposit & rent to another tenant at a higher price or perhaps I am very cynical.
How would a shrewd western landlord look at this: I have a tenant in place, they're good, no hassle, and they pay the rent on time. Now they have a lift, they have even more reason to stay. That means I have a tenant that knows and values 'the deal' he's getting, he is no hassle, in fact he's happy to almost help me out if needs be, if a workman needs to call or suck-like. Yes the market might be $X00 higher these days, but if I re-let then I'd have a void, make-good bills, hassle, and the unknown of new tenants.pragmatic wrote:thanks for the info..
when we signed the contract the LL wanted the money in cash. they decline to simply give us their account number to have it transfered.
One possible reason why they are doing this is becoz the upgrade of the hdb is near to end. new lift just outside their door is finished. i guess they want us out so that they can have the unit rented out to someone else with higher offer...
will update you guys what will happen next..
