En bloc sale disputes are not something you want to be involved in. The post-apocalyptic desert in that Mad Max movie is a friendlier place by comparison. But if it does happen to you, here\u2019s how to survive:<\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Understand that the \u201cstayers\u201d camp can\u2019t hide<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order for an en bloc sale to take place, 80 percent of the residents must agree. The voting process is not anonymous, because whoever came up with the rules has a great eye for entertainment opportunities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people will want the money from the en bloc sale, and some will insist on staying in the home where they raised their families (or on waiting for more money.) Now the pro-sale group will know who\u2019s refusing to sign off, and so these \u201cstayers\u201d might be targeted for retribution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20834\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/en-bloc-discussion.jpg\" alt=\"en bloc discussion\" width=\"720\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/en-bloc-discussion.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/en-bloc-discussion-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/en-bloc-discussion-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that, if you are one of them, you might want to form a stayer\u2019s community or group early on. The mutual support will help, in the event you\u2019re targeted by angry pro-sale residents in en bloc sale disputes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to get a member who\u2019s good with home repairs. You\u2019ll see why in a minute.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Install a security camera facing your door<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most notorious en bloc sale disputes in Singapore was fought in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/laguna-park\">Laguna Park condo<\/a>. During this incident, the pro-sale chairman of the management committee vandalised the locks of some residents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was done by injecting glue into the keyholes of their front doors (a tactic borrowed from loan sharks.) Other common forms of vandalism may involve scratching up or painting the door, or slipping threatening notes under it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20835\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/security-camera-condo.jpg\" alt=\"security camera in condo\" width=\"720\" height=\"506\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A CCTV camera \u2013 even if it\u2019s not actually live \u2013 will convince angry pro-sale residents to think twice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actually, the kind of people who resort to these tactics seldom think at all, let alone twice, but it may work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. You may have to park your car somewhere else<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many ways in which residents might try to reach out and communicate. Like informal afternoon tea, or spray painting vulgarities all over your car. In the aforementioned Laguna Park conflict, two residents had acid \u2013 possibly paint thinner \u2013 dumped on their car.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Puncturing tires, scratching your car with keys, or even blocking the exhaust are all things that may happen. In the worst case scenario, you might end up having to park further away from home than usual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One good tactic is to park right in front of a security camera \u2013 don\u2019t pick the obscure parking lots.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. You\u2019d best get your mail sent to a friend\u2019s address<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mailroom in most condos is a shared space. This means the keyhole of the mailbox is also a glue target. It\u2019s also a common form of vandalism to force water (or other noxious liquids) through the letter slot, thus ruining your mail.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17868\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17868\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17868\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/keep-mail-safe-enbloc-sale-disputes.jpg\" alt=\"during an enbloc sale disputes send mail to friend's address\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/keep-mail-safe-enbloc-sale-disputes.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/keep-mail-safe-enbloc-sale-disputes-940x627.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/keep-mail-safe-enbloc-sale-disputes-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17868\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In en-bloc sale disputes, things can, and will, get ugly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is, there is already a camera in the mail room. That <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">might<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> dissuade the vandals. But if it doesn\u2019t, forward your mail to a friend for the time being, especially if you are expecting something important.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. En bloc sale disputes may continue for a long time after several rounds fail<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En bloc sales are like a Game of Thrones novel; it never ends, even months after you got sick of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/horizon-towers\">Horizon Towers<\/a> became notorious after a failed en bloc attempt. Three sets of minority owners sued two members of the sales committee for over $585,000, in a court battle that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lasted 2.5 years and cost over $4 million<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides legal issues, pro sale residents may remain unhappy about their unsold homes. Prominent stayers can expect <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at least <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dirty looks for years afterward, and that\u2019s if they\u2019re lucky.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, you still live in the same place as those pro sale vandals when all\u2019s said and done. You\u2019ll have to be braced for trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Keep an eye out for bribery<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember when I talked about a \u201cstayer\u2019s community\u201d in point 1? Another good reason to do that is bribery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the failed en bloc of Harbour View Gardens, one stayer was bribed with a $200,000 offer by the pro sale camp, along with a marketing agent. This became a legal case when the other stayers objected (if they had also been offered $200,000 it would have been a different story.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the stayers band together, these incidents will be more noticeable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17890\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/enbloc-sales-disputes-cooling-off-period.jpg\" alt=\"residents can retract their signature during the cooling off period to avoid enbloc sales disputes\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/enbloc-sales-disputes-cooling-off-period.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/enbloc-sales-disputes-cooling-off-period-940x627.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/enbloc-sales-disputes-cooling-off-period-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Remember the five day cooling off period<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To provide for issues of harassment and coercion, there is a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">five day cooling off period<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when you can retract your signature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the event you feel coerced into signing, following a suggestion of how your body would fit neatly through the nearest open window, you can always recant after you\u2019re safely(?) back at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might want to sign to avoid an ugly situation, but then retract the signature during the cooling off period and contact the police.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. If you are a tenant, make sure your landlord gives you a contract that provides for en bloc situations<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tenants are mostly doomed, if they are stuck on the property after a successful en bloc. Once the sale is settled, forget about important repairs to your pipes, windows, ceiling, etc. The landlords seldom have any interest in the upkeep of a building that will be torn down soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you sign your lease, ensure there is a clause that provides for refunds or continued maintenance in the event of an en bloc sale. Ask for a contract which ensures that, should you find conditions unacceptable after an en bloc, you can leave without penalty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also do your homework on the possibility of en blocs before picking a place to rent.
