(1)
Nothing in this Act shall preclude a landlord from making an ex gratia payment to any person (other than a tenant or sub-tenant) using or occupying any part of the controlled premises and not paying to the landlord any rent for that use or occupation under a tenancy, who is bound to vacate that part of the controlled premises consequent upon an order of the Board made in the landlord’s favour under section 4.
(2)
The ex gratia payment referred to in subsection (1) shall be such sum as the landlord considers adequate to meet the cost of demolition or removal of any buildings erected by that person and such other charges as may reasonably be incurred in the removal of that person to another place in Singapore.
