Tenancy & Lease Agreements

A tenancy or lease agreement should help the parties understand how the premises may be used and what each side is expected to do. Lim Wong & Partners assists landlords and tenants with tenancy and lease agreements. The discussion can address a new arrangement, proposed renewal or an existing draft that needs closer attention.

Useful terms often concern rent, deposits, the permitted use, maintenance, alterations, access and the handover of the premises. The right emphasis differs between a home, an office and a shop. Explain the actual intended use, the condition of the property and any special promises made during negotiations.

Before the discussion, write down what has already been agreed and what remains open. If there is an existing tenancy, identify the relevant dates and the changes being proposed. Photographs, an inventory and correspondence can help explain the practical background without relying on recollection alone.
