What is rental reinstatement in Singapore?

Rental reinstatement in Singapore is the process of restoring a rented property to its original condition at the end of a tenancy, as required by most tenancy agreements. This includes repainting walls, restoring flooring, reinstating fixtures, and removing any tenant-installed modifications.

How much does reinstatement work cost in Singapore?

Reinstatement costs in Singapore typically range from $1,500 to $8,000 for a standard 2–3 bedroom condo unit, depending on the scope of works required. Factors include unit size, extent of modifications, flooring type, and number of rooms to repaint.

How long does reinstatement take in Singapore?

Most standard condo reinstatement projects in Singapore take 3 to 7 working days, depending on the scope. MCSG coordinates all trades simultaneously to minimise downtime between tenancies.

Who is responsible for reinstatement — tenant or landlord?

In Singapore, the tenant is typically responsible for reinstatement works at the end of a tenancy, as specified in the tenancy agreement. The tenant must restore the property to its original handover condition, fair wear and tear excepted.
