What are the documents to look out for in commercial rental

For commercial rental, it is usual (but not essential) to appoint an agent in writing to avoid misunderstandings. Oral and implied contracts of agency are difficult to enforce. For real estate work in Singapore, it is prudent to have CEA's prescribed Estate Agency Agreements signed. They include:

- Estate Agency Agreement for the Sale of Residential Property
- Estate Agency Agreement for the Purchase of Residential Property
- Estate Agency Agreement for the Lease of Residential Property by a Landlord
- Estate Agency Agreement for the Lease of Residential Property by a Tenant
- Exclusive Estate Agency Agreement for the Sale of Residential Property
- Exclusive Estate Agency Agreement for the Purchase of Residential Property
- Exclusive Estate Agency Agreement for the Lease of Residential Property by a Landlord
- Exclusive Estate Agency Agreement for the Lease of Residential Property by a Tenant

These documents can be found on CEA's website.
