Tenancy Agreements
Who Are the Parties Involved?
Under Singapore law, the owner of a property is known as the Landlord. The party who leases and occupies the property is known as the Tenant or Lessee. (in the case of a HDB flat).
Where permitted under the tenancy agreement, a tenant may grant a sub-tenancy to another party, commonly referred to as subletting. However, if the tenancy agreement expressly prohibits subletting, any unauthorised sub-tenancy may constitute a breach of the agreement and may entitle the landlord to terminate the tenancy.
What Is a Lease?
A lease grants a tenant the right to occupy and use a property for an agreed period in exchange for rent. It creates a legally binding relationship between the landlord and tenant, typically documented in a tenancy agreement.
A tenancy agreement may be written or oral, and in certain circumstances may also arise from the conduct of the parties. However, a written agreement is generally recommended to clearly define each party’s rights and obligations.
