Hquek,
But rental family staying there till may2016
This means as long as rental contract not till 30 mths later they can't use rental address for registration this July?

When the new 30mth rule was first introduced, I believe many would have already moved into the rental unit and many would have NOT signed a 30mth contract then. So we can't say that these people cannot use their current rental address that is reflected on their IC for registration.

Confusing.
We almost bot a unit that the current rental family is doing PV at my boy's future sch.The contract ended may 2015 but recontracted to May2016.
As they r doing PV while we are under alumni phase n we r not in a hurry to move in even upon purchase. So prior & upon announcement of this new rules, we are still pondering abt this unit.
It be touchy if they use the address for registration right?
Means future units that we getting , we have to make sure previous owner/tenant did not use out address for their kids' sch registration?

If you bought this unit with tenancy, then you cannot use this address for P1 registration, the tenant get to use it for registration. It is an offense to use an address (a condo you own but you don't stay in) for registration.

So what will happen after May 2016?

I assume if you do not want to renew their contract, then this family will appeal to school based on a case-by-case basis, hoping that the school will allow the child to stay on as they wanted to renew and stay on in the same rental unit but the landlord wants them out. I believe many will face such situation before the 30th month. The final decision will lies with the school.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

If u (owner) and tenant use the same address to register your child within 1 km of Nanyang primary (or any school) : when they churn out computer report, both your children name will appear on the discrepancy report. Both will be called up by school, why the same address bring used for P1 registration

In this case, the tenant is not at fault right? Supposing I rent the unit for the purpose of putting my child in the school, I have right to do so even though unit doesn't belong to me.

Yes, in this case, the tenant is right to use the rental address for P1 registration as his family is occupying it. Owners not staying in their condo are not supposed to use the address for P1 registration.

In any case if not sure, go to MOE for their assessment on case-by-case basis.

Is the new 30 month rule very sudden or was this rule printed in the P1 registration brochures handled out to the K2s?


Not sure if home owners are aware that they are also affected by the new rule and not just tenants and landlords using rental address.

Those who stay in newer estate like Seng Kang or Punggol, they cannot sell their flats after they meet MOP of 5yrs, they need to continue staying for another 2.5years, cannot upgrade or downgrade their flats now.

The owner is at fault, bec the tenant already staying in the rented unit.

But the owner not staying there, bec rent out to tenant
School will question owner : since already rent out to the tenant, then why still use the same address as tenant, to register child into the school ?

[janet88]

By right, the tenant has the right to register child using rental address…since he is staying there. Not only that, condo facilities (if any) are also for the tenant to use during lease period. I think moe can consider looking into this issue.

Hi, my daughter is already in P1 this year. Ok for us to

move house? We got in last year thru 2C, 1-2km with distance priority. Just wondering if this 30 months ruling affect existing students as well. Thanks!

No, this rule is not meant to affect students who are already in Primary School.

Thanks. Hope existing students won’t be penalized for moving house.
