Can tenant pay 6 months rental instead of monthly

In Singapore, the payment terms for rent are typically specified in the tenancy agreement. While the standard practice is to pay rent on a monthly basis, it is possible for a tenant and landlord to agree on alternative payment terms, such as paying 6 months of rent upfront.

However, this would need to be mutually agreed upon and clearly stated in the tenancy agreement. It's important to ensure that both parties are comfortable with the arrangement and that it is legally binding.

Additionally, if the rental payment terms are changed, it may affect the computation of stamp duty, which is based on the total rent for the lease period. Any variations to the lease, including changes in payment terms, should be reviewed to determine if additional stamp duty is payable.
