About The Fair Tenancy Industry Committee (FTIC)

On 26 June 2020, key representatives from Singapore’s landlord and tenant communities, together with industry experts, formed the Fair Tenancy Pro Tem Committee in a bid to strengthen collaboration and increase the vibrancy and competitiveness of Singapore’s retail, food & beverage (F&B) and lifestyle sectors. The result is an industry-led Code of Conduct for Leasing of Retail Premises in Singapore (“Code”) based on the principles of transparency, reciprocity and sustainability.

On 3 May 2021, the Fair Tenancy Industry Committee (FTIC) was set up to be the custodian of the Code and ensure that it provides guidance to landlords and tenants of qualifying retail premises so that fair and balanced lease negotiations can be achieved. It is represented by both landlords and tenants, as well neutral parties to offer a holistic approach when addressing matters related to retail lease agreements.

The FTIC comprises 14 members who are elected to oversee matters related to fair tenancy for retail premises in Singapore. The FTIC plays an important role to create a symbiotic landlord-tenant ecosystem in which all stakeholders reap long-term benefits from the increased vibrancy and competitiveness of Singapore’s retail and F&B industries.

Goals of the FTIC

  • To equip the industry with the knowledge of the Code that serves as a mandatory guide to fair retail
    tenancy negotiation.
  • To ensure that the Code is kept up to date with the latest market practices, guided by the principles of transparency, fairness, reciprocity, and sustainability.
  • To monitor the performance of the Code and submit recommendations to the Government to enhance the regulatory framework.

The Fattest Ramen Eating Pusheen

/2 Comments/in /by

We recently received a request from a customer.

Hiya, I just made an order and I wanted to make a (hopefully not too weird) request: could I request like a really fat ramen-sheen?

Because sometimes Pusheen’s can be tall and skinnier than their counterparts and I just really love fat ones.

Thank you in advance!

Best wishes,
Customer

Sent from my iPhone

Dear Customer, we understand. It’s not a weird request. We too want our sheens to be fat and chubby.

So we weighed 20 different ramen-sheens to find the heaviest of the lot. Unsurprisingly, most of the sheens weighed the same between 0.220kg to 0.225kg.

Weighing in at a hefty 0.225kg, Pusheen #1 wins!

How to Clean and Wash Stuffed Animals

/in /by

Like all two year olds, my daughter Janavi prefers to play rather than sleep. When she does feel sleepy, she invariably lets us know of the fact by reaching for her beloved soft toy. Intended by its makers to be a giraffe, my girl had decided it was a ‘pony’, and Pony became its name forever. However, Pony has been Janavi’s bedtime companion for quite a while now, and it was beginning to show. Janavi plays rough with Pony, sometimes even biting the soft toy. Her attempts to share her meals with Pony had left numerous spots and stains. We tried replacing Pony with a new (identical) soft toy, but it did not work. Janavi preferred her dingy looking Pony to the shining new replacement we tried to entice her with. Naturally, we could not let her continue to play with her dirty soft toy. Naturally, we could not separate Janavi from her precious Pony either. And so, naturally, there was only one option left to us. Pony needed a wash.
