5 views
A tenancy agreement is a binding contract between the landlord and tenant to lease a property. It is typically a detailed version of the Letter of Intent and is signed by both parties. Key elements include:
• The names, addresses, and identification details of both landlord and tenant
• The rental amount, payment schedule, and method of payment
• The amount of security deposit, usually set at one month’s rent for every 12 months of the lease term
• Who pays for utilities such as water, electricity, and gas
• Maintenance and repair responsibilities for the premises, including air-conditioning servicing
• The termination clause, including any diplomatic or reimbursement clauses
• An inventory of contents, including furniture and fittings in the property, along with their condition
When the tenancy agreement is signed, the tenant usually pays the security deposit and first month’s rent. Landlords may also require that tenants show valid identification such as a passport, employment pass, or identity card.
