OG sues Hao Mart for alleged breach of Taste Orchard lease, seeks S$6.6 million in rent and other fees
Hao Mart denies these allegations and says that both parties had subsequently entered into a separate ‘oral agreement’, which OG in turn breached
[SINGAPORE] OG has sued supermarket operator Hao Mart for allegedly breaching its lease agreement over Taste Orchard by failing to pay rent from January to November 2024, as well as subletting parts of the premises without seeking its approval.
As Taste Orchard’s landlord, OG claimed Hao Mart’s actions were a breach of the 7.5-year lease it had signed and thus served as grounds for termination.
As at Oct 1, OG is seeking to claim nearly S$6.6 million from Hao Mart comprising S$5.6 million in principal arrears for rent; S$426,299 in increase in property tax; S$366,699 in principal arrears for charges; and S$178,857 in accrued interest so far.
