      It’s ok to leave the HDB vacant. But the period that you are not staying there, will not count towards fulfilling the MOP.


      Eg you move in with your parents for 30 months. Then you move back. Still need to serve the missing 30 months to HDB before they will let u sell the flat.

        i stand corrected. HDB approval needs to be sought for such exceptional cases.

        I have sought exemption but for reasons beyond my control... asking hdb to approve because o get favorable odds for P1 reg? hmmmm

          The only reasons acceptable for HDB are 1. Moving overseas (example, for work) and 2. Taking care of ailing or elderly parents. The period that you are not staying in the HDB will not be counted towards fulfilling the MOP. And in case, you are thinking of gaming the system, don’t play-play. HDB conducts spot check regularly.

          Hence, it’s possible to:
          1. Seek exemption from HDB
          2. If approved, shift to parents’ place and fulfill MOE requirements for 30 months
          3. Shift back to own flat
          4. Fulfill the rest of the MOP

              Hi,


              I will be signing my rental lease agreement next month, which is within 1km of my prefered school. However, the lease agreement is only for 2 yrs. In such a scenario, in the event, I do get thru the school in Phase 2C, what happens if my lease expires after 2 years? WIll moving within the 1km radius of the school be ok? Cos that is what would most likely happen.

              I did ask the landlord to give us the lease for 4 yrs, so that we can fulfil the 30 months from next Jul, but he said its not possible. Wht should I do at this point?

              Thank you.

                You can move to another location or property. However, it must still be within 1km

                  Signing next month as in next week before 2C closes on 6-Aug right? Then use the agreement to prove your address.

                    EDIT: Sorry, just read that your registration is next year. So you're good to go, you just need to keep the school informed when you move to another place within 1km.

                      Thank you. My only concern is that we are not able to fulfil the 30 months of stay in the address registered.

                        Yes, But its for next year's registration. So I would already be staying at my rental place. The lease ends 30 Aug 2022. So in the event, they dont renew my lease, I would have to move house, but will that mean I am breaking the rules?
