No matter how much people say it\u2019s a renter\u2019s market, it\u2019s not cheap.<\/p>\n<p>Which is why the traditional practice of giving security deposits needs to change.<\/p>\n<h2>If you rent, be prepared for disputes<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/lojil9HflxEjOq4gBz\" width=\"480\" height=\"414\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/lojil9HflxEjOq4gBz\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing we\u2019ve learnt from being tenants in Singapore, it\u2019s that nightmarish landlords exist (terrible tenants too, but that\u2019s another article for another time).<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get us wrong, paying for damage you\u2019ve caused is perfectly reasonable. But sometimes landlords try to squeeze every dollar out of us with unreasonable cleaning demands and accuse us of causing damage \u2013 even pre- existing ones caused by former tenants.<\/p>\n<p>How much should you pay for that damaged wall? Is it your fault that the air-con has stopped working? What about that leaky tap? Did you cause that stain on the floor?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to always do a comprehensive check of the property before you move in. Take pictures of stains, cracks, dents, mold, marks, scuffs and dings. Record faulty appliances, make notes of damaged furniture.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that\u2019s easier said than done. And more often than not, we put our faith on people to be reasonable and non-greedy. Which is perfect. Until you move out and learn that your landlord is intending to deduct large amounts from your security deposit.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a passive, non-confrontational person (like myself), you\u2019ll probably just suck it up and surrender to your landlord\u2019s demands. That\u2019s not ideal.<\/p>\n<h2>Security deposits lock up large sums of money<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/ND6xkVPaj8tHO\" width=\"480\" height=\"446\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/cat-money-cash-ND6xkVPaj8tHO\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tenants here typically give up to one to two month\u2019s rent&#8230;which if you think about it, is a lot of money, especially if you\u2019re renting a condominium or landed property.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s important because to tenants, liquidity is everything. Suppose your rent is $5,000 a month. That security deposit? It\u2019s $10,000. Not a huge sum, sure. But not a small one either. $10,000 could easily cover all your transport costs for a year \u2013 or close to a decade, if you take public transport.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Other uses for an extra $10,000<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/xTiTnqUxyWbsAXq7Ju\" width=\"400\" height=\"480\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/yosub-money-donald-duck-cash-xTiTnqUxyWbsAXq7Ju\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A cash cushion, should you unexpectedly lose your job<br \/>\n&#8211; Good insurance coverage for you and your family<br \/>\n&#8211; A well deserved holiday to prevent you from burning out from work<br \/>\n&#8211; A helper to help out with the kids at home<br \/>\n&#8211; Paying off all high interest credit loans<br \/>\n&#8211; 3 years supply of Chicken Rice<br \/>\n&#8211; Diversifying your investments (and take some additional risk)<\/p>\n<p>All these nifty uses aside, you\u2019re parting ways with money that has no guarantee of ever making its way back to mou.
