CHANGES to Singapore's Covid-19 temporary relief framework came into force on Wednesday, including greater powers for government-appointed assessors of rental disputes, and a mechanism for paries to certain contracts to obtain relief in the case of delays caused by the pandemic.
The relevant amendments to the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act were passed in Parliament earlier in September. Rental relief assessors, who are appointed by the Ministry of Law (MinLaw) to deal with disputes arising from the temporary relief measures, are now able to determine the amount of rent to be waived in certain circumstances.
