My wife and I have lived here for more than three-and-a-half years with no issues in regard to tenancy agreements.
But since we moved last year into another condominium, we have had nothing but trouble in regard to the air-conditioning and mould in the kitchen, to name a few of the issues.
We engaged a professional, who found five different kinds of mould, two of which could cause severe health issues. So far, the response has been one of pure ignorance from the agent and owners.
As we have an eight-month-old daughter, we are worried about what could happen and how to find a workable solution. As we see it, we have no rights, with 10 months left of the contract.
Could it be true, in a developed society like Singapore, that greed and a lack of regulation allows owners not to care about their tenants and, in this case, to put them in potential danger?
The only advice we got was to get a lawyer. But if this is the only way, then a sad future lies ahead for Singapore and its tenants, local and foreigners.
