All About Home Addresses

[wildboys]

Hi, my friend's apartment is within 1km of her choice of sch, but it's being rented out now until June of the year her kid will be in P1. She said should be able to use that address to register for under 1km by showing the tenancy agreement that she can only move in in June, her arguement is that the system can allow those whose condo only TOP within 2years, why not her case? Is she right?? I was thinking she probably have to break the contract, but then even so, how does she proof to the school that she will move in before school starts in Jan?

1. for those condo under construction - it is assumed that it is purchased for owner occupation, and there is a need to show proof of moving in after TOP after the Pri 1 admission, else the kids get transferred out

2. for the existing tenanted-out unit, it is already evidential that the owner is not staying there - therefore, cannot use that address for registration. how / what else to argue about this ?

3. even for breaking of contract, must prove that she is staying there by changing of NRIC address, utilities bill etc

One can own practically the whole neighbourhood but not living there, it does not count

Hi, question for the group. A person purchases a new property within 1 Km of the school of choice and it goes TOP not long before the P1 registration time. Can they use that as home address even if they haven’t moved in yet, as long as they fully intend to move there if successful in getting a place in the school? If not successful, they intend to stay on in the current residence and rent out the new property instead. The current residence is not within 1 km of the school. Assume that both current residence and new property are owned by the person and the new property will be empty at the time of registration. I feel this should be ok as long as they move to the new place and stay there for the duration of the child’s primary school attendance. It’s just that they are deciding where to live based on whether they are successful in getting the place in the school. What do people think?

Since already TOP, your IC address must show the within 1 km address if you intend to use that for P1 registration. No excuse. Other parents in the same category as you will complain, and school also will not accept

i understand that for new property still under constructn, just show sales n purchase agreement and sign agreement that u will move in within 2 yrs of getting the child into P1,


but does the same rule apply if the new property purchased is a resale project?

No, it does not.

i think u can use the OTP as evidence...but it will be a pain to prove as your NRIC address will be different. U will likely be put on a list of 'Parents to be visited and watched' to verify home addresses.

Actually, I think the OTP is not good enough. A better piece of document will be the Sale & Purchase Agreement.
