The tenancy agreement may contain access or viewing provisions. Check notice requirements, permitted purposes and any negotiated limitations, then coordinate viewings reasonably with the occupants.
Start with the document
Check the signed tenancy agreement, inventory and any written amendments or messages that form part of the arrangement. The exact facts and wording matter.
Keep evidence
Keep relevant photos, receipts, payment records and messages. Good records make it much easier to establish what happened and what was agreed.
Resolve it clearly
Communicate the issue and proposed solution clearly. If both sides agree to change an existing arrangement, record that agreement in writing.
Can a landlord arrange frequent viewings?
A landlord requests multiple viewings weekly while the tenant needs privacy.
What to do next
- Check the access clause.
- Agree on reasonable notice and timings.
- Confirm appointments in writing.
JC’s practical takeaway: Balance marketing needs with occupancy rights.
General Singapore rental information only; not legal advice. Rules and individual contracts can change. Check the latest official guidance where relevant.
Must tenants allow unlimited viewings during the lease?
The landlord wants daily buyer viewings while the tenant is working from home.
What I would check next
- Read the agreement for access rights, notice and permitted viewing windows.
- Propose reasonable grouped appointments and confirm them in writing.
- Respect privacy, security and the tenant's quiet enjoyment as applicable.
- Keep a record of access arrangements and any cancellations.
JC's takeaway: Clear communication and a dated written record help both sides avoid preventable disagreements.
Can a landlord bring buyers or new tenants in whenever they want?
A property is being marketed while occupied and the tenant is asked to accommodate frequent last-minute viewings.
What I would check first
Read access and viewing clauses; propose reasonable notice and time windows; respect the tenant's use of the home; confirm arrangements in writing.
JC's practical takeaway: Viewing rights and practical scheduling should be discussed rather than assumed.
