How are rental agency fees charged in Singapore?

There are usually two situations when it comes to renting a house through an agent:

1.For tripartite contracts, only one intermediary fee is charged.

That is, you sign a lease contract with the landlord through an agent, and pay the rent directly to the landlord every month.

In this case, if you renew the lease with the landlord, then there is nothing to do!

2.The contract between the two parties can be charged multiple intermediary fees.

That is, you sign a lease contract with the agent, and you pay the monthly rent to the agent, not the landlord.

Then when you renew the lease, it is equivalent to signing a lease contract with the agent again, and the agent charges again, which is reasonable!

If you are in the first case, and the agent still asks you for an agency fee, strictly speaking, it is not legal!

However, there are also a large number of shady agents in Singapore who do this, and their means are to collude with landlords to defraud tenants of agency fees. These are also some of the "tacit rules" of Singapore's rental industry in recent years.

If you are in the second case, then you are better off finding a way to bypass the agent and sign a contract directly with the homeowner, so that you can save the renewal fee.

According to the regulations, this is indeed the case.

Of course you can jump out of him. I believe that the landlord has the same plan, because the landlord also has to give half a month.

Negotiate directly with the landlord and don't need this agency fee.

The brokerage fee is generally shared between the tenant and the landlord for one month's rent.

But you say that you have to give him an intermediary fee every year, which is unreasonable.

There are many intermediaries in Singapore, and some of them are quite honest, but the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

Singapore Education Agent Fee:

1. The application fee of the Singapore study abroad agent can be regarded as the basic cost of the intermediary company for each applicant, which is generally 2,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan. As long as the agency obtains the admission letter from the school for the applicant, regardless of whether the visa is obtained or not, this fee will not be refunded to Wuling.

2. Singapore study abroad agent fees are a visa service fee, which is generally 10,000-12,000 yuan, and if the student fails to obtain a visa, this fee will be refunded in full.

3. The tuition fee of the Singapore study abroad agent is usually 10%-30% of the tuition fee of the first year, between 500-1000 pounds. The purpose of this fee is to protect the fundamental rights and interests of institutions and prevent students from not enrolling in the school due to their own reasons after obtaining the visa. This fee is collected by the study abroad agency, and the student will not have the problem of settling this fee with the foreign institution before the student is visaged.

If the applicant is denied a visa, the intermediary company will be responsible for the full unconditional and immediate refund of this fee.

Singapore Student Visa Documents:

1. The application form filled in by the applicant for studying in Singapore should be filled in Chinese.

2. The study abroad plan written by the applicant for studying abroad in Xinjia Qipo is the school that the international student will enter after going to Singapore, the type of course to study and the career plan after graduation, and the application should be in Chinese and its content should be detailed.

3. 8 personal ** of the applicant, the same version as the passport**.

4. The applicant's birth certificate notarization, academic notarization, transcript and deposit slip notarization, notarization materials in Chinese and English versions of the deposit slip amount of 160,000 yuan, if you can provide more sufficient proof of closed funds will be better.

5. A copy of the applicant's personal passport, the photocopy is the first page of the passport.

6. The certificate of work status of the applicant studying in Singapore, the certificate can be obtained at the Singapore Embassy in China, and the official seal of the unit must be stamped.

7. If the applicant's parents run a private business, they need to provide a copy of the business license.

Summary. According to Singapore** regulations, the intermediary fee charged by a Singapore labor agency should be calculated based on the number of years of the employment contract signed: the fee should not exceed 1 month's salary year, and the maximum fee should not exceed 2 months' salary.

For example, if your salary is S$1,000 per month and you sign a two-year contract, the Singapore agent can only charge you up to S$2,000. If you sign an 18-month contract, you will only be charged an intermediary fee of up to 1000x (18 12) = S$1500. What if I sign a 3-year contract?

Or can only charge up to S$2,000.

The agency fee here includes all agency fees received by Singapore agents from foreign workers, including agency fees collected through overseas agents, but does not include fees collected by overseas agents and retained by overseas agents. Other expenses such as medical check-ups, training and airfares to Singapore in your home country are not included in the brokerage fee. In addition, Singaporean agents should not charge foreign workers for training and medical examinations in Singapore.

Renting an apartment in Singapore can be broadly divided into HDB flats, condominiums, terraced flats and bungalows. The details are as follows:

1. HDB flats are similar to domestic flats, which are built by the Housing and Development Board of the People's Republic of China. Only citizens can buy new HDB flats, permanent residents can buy old ones, and others can't. HDB flats have three, four and five bedrooms, which are equivalent to two-bedroom, three-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments in the country.

It is the same three (four, five) rooms, and there are different models, but they are similar to each other. The condominium is equivalent to a high-end HDB flat, the house is large, and the building is well equipped with equipment such as elevators. Townhouses are small two- or three-storey buildings that are interconnected with each other, with one yard per household.

The small western-style building is a small independent building surrounded by a courtyard.

2. Rent a house through the Internet.

If you rent online, HDB flats are the most rental. Singapore** stipulates that HDB flats can be partially rented out without **approval**. For all rentals, approval is required.

The rules on ** can be found in the Housing and Development Board's **. Due to the strict conditions for renting out all of them, many people lock the HDB flat in one room for rent, which is called locking one room, to avoid the rule (to the outside world, the owner lives in the locked room). **There are no restrictions on the rental of apartments, terraced houses and small bungalows, generally renting one or several people and renting a set, the conditions are better, but most of them are not very convenient or far from the Pasta (vegetable market) and shops.

3. Renting a house can be rented through an intermediary.

There are many advertisements for intermediaries in the classified ads of newspapers. Generally, the agent is paid one month's rent (half for the landlord and half for the tenant). In Singapore, as long as you pay a few hundred dollars to the real estate agency, you can become an agent of the company by hanging on to the company.

Sometimes a small company will claim to have a few hundred intermediaries. Intermediaries basically only serve until they get a commission. Generally, a contract is signed for renting a house through an intermediary, but the contract is written by the intermediary.

There is no standard contract. Most of the intermediaries are modified on the basis of the company's sample contract.

Generally speaking, looking for a house through the introduction of others (with a good reputation), the worst is through an intermediary. Except for the intermediary fee, you have to be careful in everything. The purpose of the intermediary is only the intermediary fee, although the attitude is good at first.

Try to avoid many disputes with the owner of the house. It's a good idea to read the HDB's regulations first, so that you can have a good idea when you have an argument with the landlord. When renting an apartment, be sure to sign a contract and read the contents of the contract carefully.

With a contract, it is much easier to resolve disputes with the owner of the house, and it is not easy to suffer big losses.

The purpose of renting a home for newcomers is to live in, and in order to live safely and comfortably, it is best to do the following before renting:

1.Believe in the first instinct - if you are dissatisfied with the landlord when you meet for the first time, there is a high probability that you will be unhappy with each other in the future, so it is better not to rent and prevent problems before they happen;

2.All lease conditions are to be documented in black and white, including any additional commitments from the landlord;

3.Always remember to ask for receipts, especially for newcomers who have just arrived and don't have a check, for any cash payments that can be used as proof of deposit and rent payments in the future;

4.Have a clear understanding of the provisions of the Tenancy Act regarding the rights and obligations of tenants, and if you do not understand something, consult a friend or relevant organization. There may be requests that are considered reasonable, but may not be feasible in the Tenancy Act;

5.Don't move into a house without a purpose;

6.Don't accept verbal promises and guarantees from the landlord or the landlord;

7.Never sign a lease without the correct name and address of the landlord. In the event of a dispute, you will need to provide the above information when applying for an arbitration hearing.

In addition, newcomer tenants should pay special attention to whether they are under the protection of the Residential Tenancy Act, as not all tenants are protected by the law. If the name is on the tenancy agreement, but the tenant rents a separate bedroom and does not share a kitchen or bathroom with the landlord, he or she is a legal tenant and enjoys the protection of the Residential Tenancy Act, and only tenants and landlords who are protected by the Residential Tenancy Act can go to the Residential Tenancy Office for an arbitration hearing.

Also, the landlord cannot ask the tenant to pay the application fee if the application fee has been paid.

If you are looking for an agent who is qualified for certification, you can ask your friends if they are more reliable.

In addition, there is a lot of information on the Lion City website. When renting an apartment, be sure to read the contract clearly, and I heard that you don't have to pay many months' rent in advance.

Hope you can find a nice landlord

You can find a local real estate agent, many of them have Chinese shared houses, and it is good to rent a single room during this time, and there are many personal ** over there, just look for more.

Singapore also has a special rental **, you google it.

How much does it cost to study abroad agents in Singapore?

The agent fee for studying abroad in Singapore is generally 10,000 RMB. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, so it is not impossible to have zero intermediary fees, but it is rare, and students and parents are advised not to think about it. Study abroad agents are not charities, they have their own staff, their own office locations, their own advertising, and if they don't charge a penny, then what do they rely on to make a profit?

Of course, there are also very few intermediaries who do not charge intermediary fees, which is generally the intermediary who recommends students to partner institutions, and the cooperative institutions give intermediaries a certain fee.

University Tuition Fees in Singapore

Generally speaking, the tuition fee of a private university in Singapore is S$4-50,000 for undergraduates, S$10,000 for the first year of undergraduate, and S$20,000 for the second and third years. Singapore's public universities provide students with a 70%-80% tuition subsidy, so the undergraduate tuition fee of Singapore's public universities is about S$15,000 a year, and the tuition fee enjoys Singapore's ** bursary.

There is no unified standard data on the cost of study abroad agents, each country and institution is different, there are high and low, the country and institution you apply for affect the cost of study abroad agent to a large extent, this is the main factor, such as American institutions, studying in the United States is popular, the more people apply, the higher the cost, and according to the ranking of the institution, the cost is also high and low, about 25,000 to 60,000 changes.

Due to the fact that the price department still does not have a unified fee standard for the fees of study abroad agents, and the influence of commercial operations in market mediation, there are large differences in the fees charged by various institutions, and even the same agency has adopted different charging methods for different application countries and even services of different difficulties and different projects. Before signing a contract with an education agent, students must carefully understand the fees and services they provide, and ask about the fees they need to pay in the future, so as to avoid being deceived.
