  "account": "An American man, Anthony Thomas Price, is countersuing his former landlord, Angela Chan, in Singapore after allegedly using shell companies to rent landed houses and then defaulting on payments. Chan is seeking S$20,000 in lost working time and damages for emotional distress in her lawsuit against Price and his company, Bundleluxe Pte Ltd. Price argues that the house had over 50 defects making it uninhabitable and that he fell severely ill due to the landlord's failure to maintain the property. Price claims he was not personally liable for the lease as the contract was signed by his company. Chan originally sued Price and Bundleluxe for S$76,500 in rental arrears, interest, and double rent for the two and a half months of overstaying.",
