I rented out my property through an agent and paid the one month's commission (2 yr lease) as per industry practice. Two years later, my tenant would like to renew the lease for another 2 years. Do I have to pay my agent another one month's commission? I do not read any clause in the original TA that requires me to do that. Since there is no new tenant involved and no effort on the part of the agent, I am baffled as to why I should be paying another month's of commission? Isn't renewal essentially re-drafting the new TA, getting it e-stamped and pay the stamp duty?
