need out after only 2 months as landlord has not held up promises

Posted by island74 (408 days ago)

I need to move out of my apartment after 2 months as my landlord has not finished the flat as promised. The only phrasing in the tenancy agreement that refers to an early termination is as follows:
"Upon the expiration or sooner determination of the Term hereby created to deliver up vacant possession of the Premises unto the landlord in good and tenantable condition and to repair or compensate any damage caused to the Premises"

Any thoughts on what that means?
Is there any support for tenants in HK who find themselves bound to immoral landlords? Do tenants have any come back at all or is the law totally on the side of the landlord? Thanks

When you say "landlord has not finished the flat as promised" - was nothing regarding finishing the premises mentioned in the tenancy & how long the works would take?
