Clause 10
Landlord may make ex gratia payments to persons using or occupying controlled premises who do not pay rent
(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 such user or occupation under a tenancy, who is bound to vacate such part of the controlled premises consequent upon an order of the Board made in the landlord’s favour under section 4 of this Act.

Such ex gratia payment shall be such sum as the landlord considers adequate to meet the cost of demolition or removal of any buildings erected by such person and such other charges as may reasonably be incurred in the removal of that person to another place in Singapore.
