Rental revision not 10%; no renovation cost deal

I REFER to the Bloomberg article "S'pore empty homes may climb to highest since 1998" (BT, Jan 19).

I am Sam King's landlord, and I can confirm that the rental revision was 3.75 per cent lower, not 10 per cent as the article stated, and that I have not agreed to "split some renovation costs, and provide new curtains and lights".

While I am sure that your readers are well aware of the softness in Singapore residential rents, I am equally sure that they would appreciate the correct information.
