Stamping of Tenancy Agreement

[babyworm]

Need advice! I recently asked for an extension (of 2 months) of my tenancy agreement with my landlord and my landlord has given me an addendum agreement (which references the original tenancy agreement). He indicated to me that I should get it stamped by the lawyers.

Can anyone advise how I can go about getting it stamped and the fees involved? We are doing this without an agent. Thank you!

Thanks for pointing me to IRAS, ikan bilis, so early wanna makan me...

I searched the IRAS site and found the following info, so share with everyone here:

- stamping can be done online (e-stamping), at 4 SingPost outlets or at IRAS itself and fees vary.
- e-stamping is simple and FOC, on the iras website, simply select e-stamping, then select the type of stamping and fill in an online form. In my case I selected the form for a new Tenancy Agreement (renewals or extensions are considered as new applications).
- Enter details of the property, period of lease, lease amount, landlord name and NRIC, tenant details and then it calculates the stamp duty payable.
- Finally you can make payment thru eNets and when payment is successful, the Stamp Duty Certificate (in pdf) can be printed or saved.

Even if your lease is 1 month, you will have to pay the stamp duties for 1 year (min period) and if agreement does not state, tenant has to bear the stamp duty.

You should hurry your agent. From IRAS:
