Man devised 'deliberate scheme' to rent home without paying through shell company, sued elderly landlords
A Singaporean court has ordered a man to vacate a rented property and pay outstanding rent after finding he used a shell company to orchestrate a rent-free living scheme. The judge described the man's legal attempts to block his eviction as an abuse of the court process.
Why it matters
This case highlights the legal risks landlords face from tenants who exploit corporate structures to evade financial obligations.
Mr Anthony Thomas Price had previously used shell companies to live rent-free in two other properties, said the judge, who ordered his firm to return the property in the latest case to its landlords and to pay them unpaid rent and other sums.
