Important Rental Terms

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Renting a home in Singapore such as renting Woodlands HDB does not have to be so difficult. But if you are dealing with a certain kind of landlord, it will be. 

It happens that some rental terms frequently confuse tenants who are looking for a unit or room to rent in Singapore, especially when it is first time renting. Therefore, before you sign anything make sure you understand these rental terms. There are six important rental terms.

1. Good faith deposit

The most unluckily named deposit in the rental process. Because some landlords have no confidence in your seriousness or ability to rent, they might demand a good faith deposit for booking purpose. 
But in all seriousness, the other reason is that the payment of the good faith deposit stops the landlord from searching for new tenants. The deposit is valid between the time that you sign, and the signing of the actual tenancy agreement. 
The good faith deposit is usually needed upon signing the Letter of Intent (LOI). The standard amount is one month’s rent for each year of the lease.
2. Letter of Intent (LOI)
The Letter of Intent, or LOI in short, states the tenant’s interest in renting the unit. Once signed, the good faith deposit or booking deposit is paid along with it. The LOI is effectively a promise to rent the unit to that tenant. 
The LOI is usually prepared by the tenant’s agent, and sometimes by the landlord’s agent. One of the advantages is that if there is no LOI, there is no good faith deposit. 
There are tenants who never sign an LOI, as they do not want to risk losing the good faith deposit if they do not like the TA.
Also, many tenants who do not engage an agent may not bother drafting the LOI. It is up to you whether you want to go through this step.
3. Tenancy Agreement (TA)
The TA is a legally binding contract that sets out the terms and conditions of the lease. The landlord, or landlord’s agent, will prepare the TA. The TA is supposed to carry the agreed-upon terms and conditions that were in the LOI, but it is your responsibility to check. Be cautious of landlords who sneak in new terms and conditions. 
Some key things that are covered under the TA include: the consequences of paying rent after the due date; acceptable modes of payment and diplomatic clause, which allows you to break the lease if you lose your employment in Singapore.
4. Security deposit
The security deposit is given to the landlord, after the TA is signed. It is generally one month for each year of the lease. The landlord can withhold the security deposit, to pay for any damages you cause when you move out. 
Furthermore, the security deposit can be taken if you break the terms of the lease. If you unlawfully sublet the unit, the landlord can kick you out while keeping your deposit. Moreover, any unpaid rent, or late fees for unpaid rent, can be taken from the security deposit.
5. Tenant’s agent
This is the person who is supposed to be on your side if you are a tenant. In Singapore, it is illegal for property agents to represent both the landlord and the tenant in the same deal. 
Your agent is supposed to help you guarantee the LOI and TA are fair, and to help negotiate the price. For example, your agent should be checking the rental rates of surrounding properties, to let you know if you are getting a good price.
6. Landlord’s agent
On the other side of the fence is the landlord’s agent. The landlord’s agent will vet you, and decide if you are eligible to rent to. They will also try and keep you from negotiating the price down. Note that some landlords never meet their tenants at all, and will request that you direct all issues such as a burst kitchen pipe to his/her agent. 
Make sure you do not have a problem with your landlord’s agent as you may be dealing with this person more than the actual landlord. If you are not happy with this agent’s guts, then look somewhere else.

Avoid Wedding Day Stress Following These 5 Simple Steps



Wazzup Pilipinas!

Wedding days are stressful for everyone. Some people even need to take anxiety medication to calm down before the ceremony begins. If you have extra cash, you can pay for a bridal coach who will help you to get through the day. If you do not have money to spare, here are some simple steps that will help you to avoid wedding day stress:


Get Smart

If you do not have a ‘wedding folder’, it would be wise to start one on your laptop or phone. You can use yours to write any ideas that you might have while doing tasks that are not wedding-related. Evernote is a great app that you can use to do this.

As soon as you get some free time, you can put together your quick thoughts. Doing so allows you to be more organized when planning your wedding. For instance, if you see Azazie offer on your way to work, you can write down a reminder on your wedding folder.


Get Advice

You should speak to people who have been in your shoes if you want to get some advice.

These people also put plenty of effort into their weddings and they have good advice. What do they wish that they had done differently? You should take notes so that you can learn from their bad experiences and avoid repeating them.

You might end up getting some good advice that you would not have thought of by yourself.

This is a great opportunity to bond with your future mother-in-law by asking her for advice. She will probably love to give you advice.


Be Social

In this super-connected world, you can share information with people that you have never met.

Sites such as Pinterest are there for inspiration purposes and they allow you to put all your information in one place. The goal of having a Pinterest account is to put all your pins in one place.

If you end up pinning too much, you will not know what to do. You should use specific boards such as food, flowers, banquet tablecloths, linens, decorations, and dresses. Make sure that you only use Pinterest for inspiration instead of trying to duplicate the pictures that you see there.

Tell your photographer the specific things that you like about a photo. Your wedding day should be unique and not an imitation.


Get a Grip

You should understand what is expected of you to avoid doing too much. Some people tend to over-decorate and overspend when planning their weddings. If you love minimalism, you should let it show in your wedding. Do not try to please other people by doing too much.

When it comes to choosing a wedding gown, opt for something that represents you well instead of going with the trends. In the world of photography, this translates as having a picture that people would identify as yours. Having a recognizable style is the epitome of photography.


Relax

You should take some time to take care of yourself. Meditation and yoga are some of the relaxation techniques that you should do to relax before your big day. You should sign up for yoga classes in your city and attend as many sessions as you can.

If yoga or meditation is not your thing, you can just go for a walk every morning. A little fresh air can do wonders for a stressed mind. When you relax your mind, you will be in a better state of mind to plan a wedding.


Conclusion

Avoiding stress on your wedding day is of utmost importance. The above tips will come in handy for those planning a wedding.
