BeRt^.^ SG

Now waiting for my flat and renting a room last week room agent called and say landlord says i gotta move out by end September coz my wife is pregnant and they will return me my deposit thats all. Still got 8 months of contract left. Can they do that?!?

isit the "is this legal?" kinda thing again?

technically, they can, bcos they is owner

u cannot die die say wanna stay there. then become the owner come and open thread and ask "i chase my tenant out but he refuse to budge. i already give him back deposit. how can he insist staying. can he do that? is this legal?"

BeRt^.^ SG

no lah. people dun want i stay so buay song. but isnt it breaching of contract on their part? Another agent says they have to top up the difference for my new rent?

FireIce SG

Look into the agreement that u had signed prior to moving in. However, even if the agreement is in ur favour, the ’’damage’ is done! Better to move out gracefully and deal with the fallout!

Hi Bert

The usual Tenancy Agreement would have a termination clause, subject to a notice period. If the current notice period is less than stated in the agreement, he should pay you in lieu of the notice period.

However, he should not be evicting you based on that reason (uless your agreement states that no pregnant person can live in the house, which I think is highly unlikely). Like others have said, check your agreement.
