ENGAGE A "Cert-in-CEHA" AGENT

More expats fall prey to rogue property agents
More expatriates have become victims of tricky landlords, dodgy tenancy agreements, disappearing deposits and other rental snares. According to the Consumers Association of Singapore (Case), foreigners lodged 32, out of a total of 365, complaints against real estate agents from last October to March this year. This was a 23 per cent increase from the 26, out of 516, complaints within the same period a year earlier. Case said that most of the complaints it received concerned rental agreements. Commonly cited were overcharging and failure to honour agreements, especially with regard to refunds. Dennis Wee Group said: 'At the moment, only about one-third of real estate agents here are CEHA-certified.'
