It mainly relies on statutes and court cases as its primary sources of information. PLS is selling a lease to purchasers by the developers. If purchasers were misled to believe a property is purchased and not the purchase of the lease, it is considered misrepresentation. An amendment to the law is timely to cater for a scheme that may address a different legal status of the purchaser. Australia introduced a certificate of lease to enhance the security of tenure.</p> <p>Keywords:: Private Lease Scheme; Developer; Cetificate of lease; Misrepresentation.</p> <p><em>eISSN: 2398-4287</em><em>© 2021.
