Occupant's/Tenant's Responsibility
The tenant is responsible for ensuring that the leased property remains in good condition and minor repairs up to a certain monetary value are usually borne by the tenant. The tenant's responsibilities can vary with the type of property:
- Landed Property: Maintenance of garden, swimming pool and auto-gate, if applicable, pest-control, telephone/utilities bills, and servicing of air-conditioning units.
- Apartment/Condominium: Maintenance and servicing of air-conditioning units, pest-control, and telephone/utilities bills.
Returning of Premises to the Landlord
Upon expiry of the lease, the tenant is expected to return the premises to the landlord in the same condition as the day he received it, subject to fair wear and tear. The landlord will then inspect the premises and check that there has not been a breach of contract. When these are satisfied, the landlord will refund the security deposit to the tenant.
