Man devised 'deliberate scheme' to rent home without paying through shell company, sued elderly landlords
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.
An American man, Mr Anthony Thomas Price, was ordered by a judge to return a landed home to its elderly landlords and pay them S$17,031.98 (US$13,310) in unpaid rent and legal costs. Mr Price, through his company Noranth Ventures, had rented the property in Kembangan from May 2026 to April 2028 without paying rent. The tenancy agreement required monthly rent payments on the first day of each month and tenants to obtain written consent for home alterations.
Mr Price breached these terms, leading to the court's decision to dismiss his lawsuit and allow the landlords to reclaim the home and recover unpaid rent. The judge found a pattern of Price using shell companies to rent residential properties without paying rent, including two other cases between 2019 and 2024.
