According to Shin Min Daily News, neighbours became suspicious when they noticed the woman frequently bringing men into the apartment along Guillemard Road. The property agent of the unit, Lin Yaohui (transliterated), 46, told the Chinese-language newspaper that the unit had been rented to a Chinese national in his 30s who holds Singapore permanent residency. The man had contacted Lin to express interest in renting the unit and agreed to take it shortly after viewing it. “The other party also provided identification documents and everything seemed normal,” Lin said. However, about 10 days into the tenancy, neighbours alerted the landlord that a woman was frequently bringing middle-aged men into the unit, complaining that many visitors were coming and going every day. After Lin was informed of this, he contacted the tenant to ask whether any illegal activities were taking place in the unit, but the man denied it. Lacking concrete evidence, Lin and the landlord decided to monitor the situation. ## Broken intercom draws attention to frequent visitors Lin explained that the condominium had no security guards and visitors would usually gain entry by contacting residents through the intercom system. However, as the system was faulty, the woman was forced to go downstairs and personally escort visitors into the building. “Precisely because the intercom was out of order, these frequent visitors drew noticeable attention. A neighbour even took photos of the woman bringing men into the unit,” Lin noted. On Sept 30, Lin and the landlord visited the apartment, where they witnessed the woman escorting several men into the apartment, confirming what neighbours had reported. Lin contacted the tenant again to inform him of the complaints, and arranged to inspect the unit on Oct 2. The tenant initially agreed, but became uncontactable the following day. Concerned that something might have happened to the tenant, Lin and the landlord called the police before heading up to the unit on the scheduled day. > After the police arrived, we entered the unit to check and found that the house was already empty. > > — Lin Yaohui When police arrived, the unit was empty. Lin said the landlord wished to keep a low profile and declined to disclose further details about the police report. He subsequently shared his experience on social media as a warning to other property agents. ## Tenant claims male visitors were ‘colleagues’ According to Lin, the tenant had initially claimed that the male visitors were his colleagues and that the woman escorting them was a part-time cleaner. The tenant allegedly explained that the men had come over for meetings while he was working from home. However, Lin found the explanation questionable. He pointed out that the visitors were leaving one at a time, which he felt was unusual. Lin said he had informed the tenant that suspected illegal activities could result in the termination of the tenancy and instructed him to collect his remaining belongings by a specified deadline. He also intended to forfeit the tenant’s security deposit. ## Condoms and stained mattresses left behind Although the occupants had apparently removed their personal belongings, several items remained in the unit. These included unopened condoms, lubricants and other related products. ![Geylang condo, brothel, faulty intercom](https://cassette.sphdigital.com.sg/image/stomp/e242320990f005b2c3cdf3a5f8340731426f7794d6b7bb3453eec979b0562f23) *Unused medication and items found after the rental unit was vacated.* Lin also said the mattresses on two beds were heavily stained and had to be discarded and replaced. “Aside from the apartment being a bit dirty, there were no other major problems,” Lin remarked. Lin declined to comment on whether the unit had since been rented out to someone else. He added that although he knew other property agents who had encountered similar situations, this was his first such experience. Following the incident, Lin advised landlords and agents to exercise caution when screening prospective tenants, particularly those who appear unusually eager to sign a lease or insist on paying rent and deposits in cash.
