Eviction Notice

An eviction notice is a legal notice sent by a landlord to a tenant requesting that the tenant comply with the terms and conditions of the lease agreement within a certain time period. Generally, eviction notices are sent if the tenant has not paid the rent, but they are also used for violations of the terms of the rental agreement.

The tenant and landlord can first try to find an amicable solution. If no solution can be found, the landlord can terminate the agreement, resulting in the eviction of the tenant.

One of the most common grounds for eviction in Singapore is violation of the rental agreement. The types of violations that can most reasonably result in your landlord being evicted are:

To summarize, you must include three things in the notice you serve. These things are as follows:

Themis Partner will help you draft an eviction notice to ensure that you get the best protection and benefits for your situation.

Before seeking financial compensation, it is essential that your lease agreement be properly drafted. Indeed, a well-prepared and drafted lease agreement will give extensive legal protection to your property and will guarantee the payment of rent, and will encourage a claim for sanctions against a tenant who does not pay the rent. In conclusion, it is essential to have all the necessary clauses in your lease agreement before asking for additional financial compensation in case of breach of the agreement by the tenant.

If your tenant does not respond to your notices, we recommend that you contact a lawyer to discuss taking legal action against your tenant. Themis Partner will assist you in this process.

If you do not send in the eviction notice form, you cannot begin evicting the tenant. First and foremost, the landlord must have strictly followed the proper procedures. If the landlord has not sent any notice, the tenant can challenge the eviction process and the landlord’s request, force the landlord to start the whole process over again, or the landlord will not be able to win the case in court.

Eviction is a drastic option that you can leave as a last resort. If the tenant has stopped paying rent and continues to live in the property, another option is to request a “distress” deed.
This is a court order requiring the tenant to pay you rent and allowing you to have a bailiff seize the tenant’s property and hold it until he or she pays the rent, or sell it to cover the cost of the rent if he or she does not. It also allows the tenancy to continue and the tenant to continue living in the property.
