Use LawDepot’s template to quickly create a standard Residential Tenancy Agreement. Simply enter your information into the questionnaire; then, print or download, sign, and execute your legally binding lease agreement.
To write a Residential Tenancy Agreement, provide the following information:
1. Tenancy details
State the date the tenancy starts, how often it renews (or when it ends), and the date of possession. The minimum rental period in Singapore is at least three months for a private residential tenancy.
2. Property details
Provide the address, parking information, and what furnishings are included (if any).
3. Landlord and tenant details
Give the names and contact information of any and all landlords or tenants that are a party to the contract.
Note that the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore mandates an occupancy cap of six unrelated persons per property.
4. Rent payments
Establish the rent amount, how often the tenant must pay, and the acceptable forms of payment.
5. Property usage
Specify whether the landlord allows pets, smoking, or home businesses. You can also specify whether the tenant is allowed to make upgrades to the property.
6. Utility and maintenance responsibilities
State who is responsible for utilities (such as water, gas, and electricity) and property maintenance (for things such as fixtures, pathways, and gardens).
7. Additional clauses
You can use this optional section of the template to include terms that specify the next steps if:
- Rent is unpaid
- Utilities are unpaid (either by the tenant or landlord)
- Property damage occurs during the tenancy
- The property needs repairs
- A breach of the lease occurs (either by the tenant or landlord)
