      Hi, I am a hdb flat owner who completed my mop. Looking to rent a private condo near my school of choice to stay there. Do you guys know if I can leave my hdb empty or must I rent it out, while I stay at the condo. Also, if I leave my hdb empty, can I still go ahead to change my nric address?

        You’re free to leave empty of rent out. If u’re using the rental unit bcoz it’s near yr sch of choice, then go to any police post with yr tenancy agmnt or yr evidence of utility bills. Bot parents address shld be same & u can use one address only for sch appln

            You can read HDB Rules in their webpage, which says you can if u fulfil those requirements, or you can call up your nearest HDB Office to check to hear fr HDB to be assured.

            It says “you may rent” or “if you wish to rent” and hv met their min requirements of occupation, etc. You do not necessarily need to rent out if you do not wish or cld not find suitable tenants, etc. Toure free to do your sums.

              Hello,


              We recently got our SC and would like to gather more information. There are not many good primary schools near where we live right now. So the plan is to either buy/ rent a place within 1Km of a good school. We don't want to enrol our daughter to a school which focuses on rote learning and just academics. The school should have good diversity and inclusion.
              I am reading up more and more about schools and their approaches but it is very exhausting.

              I have shortlisted a few schools and would like to know what are our chances of getting admission in these schools, if we secure a place within 1km. Daughter will be eligible for Phase 2C.

              North-East
              Rosyth
              Paya Lebar methodist Girls

              East
              Haig Girls
              CHIJ Katong
              Kong Hwa
              Maha Bodhi

              These are a few we have shortlisted so-far. Ou goal would be to get a place which is near atleast 2-3 good schools so even if we don't secure a place in our school of choice, we can try for others.

              Very confused and overwhelmed with the entire process. Hope to gain some insights and better vision on how to proceed further.

              Many Thanks

                Take PLMGS, <1km 2C chances were high and afflicated.
                CHIJ Katong <1km sure in, also affiliated.

                Haig girls might be good for 2CS backup.
                The other 3 too hot even for <1km
