\nDespite the prosecution of two men in December for providing short-term stays via Airbnb, some home rental agencies are still offering short-term accommodations to tenants by including an early termination clause into their contracts, reported Channel News Asia.
\nThis was discovered when the news agency tried to rent units from two accommodation providers.
\nIn responding to a request for a three-week stay, the first company\u2019s staff said it was \u201cnot a problem\u201d provided the tenant will sign the termination form during the end of his or her stay.
\nThe company\u2019s agent said in an email that \u201cas per Singapore rules and regulations, the minimum lease duration in residential developments in Singapore is three months but it could be terminated earlier with no penalty if a notice of termination is sent 30 days before the departure date\u201d.
\nAn early termination notice form was even provided by the company.
\nThe second accommodation provider also granted its request for a short-term stay.
\nLawyer Amolat Singh said these companies are skirting the minimum tenancy rule by inserting an exit clause. \u201cSo I could enter into such an agreement and say: \u2018Sorry, after one week I want to quit,\u2019 and that will be acceptable to them,\u201d he said.
\nThe Urban Redevelopment Authority revealed that around 600 properties were investigated between January and September last year.
\nIt noted that companies providing accommodation services are subject to enforcement action once they are found to have violated the regulations.
\nIn the event of such breaches, owners are primarily responsible, while tenants could also be subject to investigation, added URA.
