My tenant (Miss A) just moved in (it’s a 2 year contract). During viewing, she saw the existing furniture. Her signed LOI did not list down any requirements either. I had also provided the inventory list together with the TA to sign, 2 weeks before handover date (which she signed on, 2 weeks before handover date). During viewing and the subsequent days following the viewing, she stated a few times, that she has no requests – no need to remove any furniture, no need for me to provide any furniture. She only has her dog with her (which I’m ok with). Now that she has moved in, she is asking me to remove some pieces of furniture. Pieces that were present in the apartment during her viewing. I had another offer for higher rental but person wanted some furniture removed, and I turned that down to take Miss A as my tenant because she stated she does not need any furniture removed. (I prefer to keep all the furniture.) Is this misrepresentation? I signed the TA with her mainly because she said she is ok to have all the furniture. Can I rescind the contract?
Oh, and just before she signed the TA (16 days after she viewed the unit), she suddenly informed that “she had forgotten to mention that she also has a cat with her”. She mentioned having a dog many times, but during those times, she forgot she has a cat too.
