Landlord in Jurong East allegedly pressures tenant to move out<\/h2>\n
The landlord of a Jurong East HDB flat allegedly gave their tenant a notice to move out before the six-month minimum rental period, as stated in their contract.<\/p>\n
As the tenant refused, the landlord purportedly began making unreasonable demands and using pressure tactics to make them leave.<\/p>\n
The tenant, Mr Lee, an engineer in his late 30s, is now in a situation where he may be forced to move at short notice.<\/p>\n
Tenant had only been renting for over a month<\/h3>\n
Mr Lee told MS News<\/em> that he moved into the landlord\u2019s flat on 12 April.<\/p>\n However, on 28 May, he received a notice from the landlord telling him to move out within a month.<\/p>\n Image courtesy of Mr Lee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This is despite both landlord and tenant signing a tenancy agreement stating that either party may only issue a notice after a minimum stay of six months, following the Housing and Development Board\u2019s (HDB) regulations<\/a>.<\/p>\n Image courtesy of Mr Lee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to Mr Lee, the notice came after renovations at a neighbouring unit had ended.<\/p>\n \u201cBased on the timing and circumstances, it appears that the landlord may not have intended to rent the room for the full minimum period,\u201d he surmised.<\/p>\n Mr Lee added that this incident \u201cmay reflect a broader problem in the HDB room-rental market\u201d.<\/p>\n He raises the concern that many tenants may leave their rentals prematurely due to lack of legal knowledge, fear of conflict, or lack of confidence to uphold the agreement.<\/p>\n \n\t\t![\"landlord](\"https:\/\/mustsharenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/landlord-pressures-tenant-move-out-2.png\")
