    @Golem Yeah. I've heard horror stories about renting flats in HK but this is the first time it has ever happened to me. When the lease ends (if she lets me), I'll definitely move out to another place before she raises the rent to the heavens. I just need time to prepare and save enough money to move.

    Wow, 80%? That's crazy! I agree, renting places here are the worst. It is like there is no end in sight for raising rents.

    @shri Not sure about the landlord's copy as we didn't really discuss anything about the break clause. I assume it is blank too or else she would have texted me immediately last Sunday about it to put me in my place. So far no reply from her.

    Yeah, thank god the agent left it blank (by mistake or intentional) or else I would have to pay more rent. Anyway, I'll keep that in mind about the break clause when I sign next lease. Thanks.
