Paying for a damaged item

Under the Lemon Law in Singapore, which falls under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, buyers can make a claim for a defective product within six months of purchase. Consumers can request for repair, replacement, reduction in price or a refund, says Seng Choon, adding that the law applies to goods and services sold online by a registered Singapore company.

It is a good thing to stroll around with your family on malls. You are having your bonding that you have wanted for a long time. But there are times that we can occur an accident. Like breaking a figurine or damaging a painting. The mall usually has policies that covers the damages that have occured. Usually in the department stores, there are signages like "if you break it, you pay for it".

When people do shopping, they usually look for promotions, discount and sales. But there are a lot more cheaper places to find the stuffs you need. There are online stores that have a cheaper price at the same quality. Some stores have physical stores and even online stores for them to easily contact. If you are looking for good rebates, when for the huge sales that offer a lot promotions and other more.

I think a lot will depend on the full story like why is the adult child still leaving with parents? Anyway if it was me I would handle it this way. Rather than charge rent from my child, I would allow him to live rent free but he has put aside the amount of money he would otherwise be paying for rent it into either a savings or a retirement account. This way in a few years he/she could have saved up enough money to become a home owner.

You sound like an educated woman so I am baffled that you are in the position you are in. First of all I don’t want to speak badly of your relationship but I think it’s rather odd that you are dating a man many years younger than you and one you are probably taking care of. Frankly I will caution strongly against buying a property for your boyfriend but if you must buy one to justify ‘’sharing something together’’, then let the documents be in your name. Anything short of that sister and you will be in for a real shocker in future.

First of all, you need to be careful of your choice of roommates because you are actually renting as a single entity. Everyone on the lease is responsible equally. Secure the services of a lawyer and have him create a lease or binding contract that you and your roommates can sign. Keep one copy, have the roommate keep a copy and also keep a copy with the lawyer. If your roommate defaults on the lease call your lawyer and have him evicted.
