Got it. Thanks!

sorry, off site a bit, may I know if ones own a HDB, can lease out the whole HDB or not?

[winth]

the new hdb rules state that if it’s a new hdb flat, one needs to complete a min. 5 year occupancy before you could lease the whole unit out. for resale hdb, a min of 3 year occupancy before the whole unit could be leased out.


this was told to me by our usual agent, dunno if this is true or not. but i think that’s why DH told me too.

Check the HDB policies here:
http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10206p.nsf/WPDis/Subletting%20Your%20Flat%20/%20RoomPolicies%20-%20Subletting%20of%20Whole%20Flat?OpenDocument&SubMenu=Policies

You need approval from HDB, apply for Stamp Duty, and you will need to pay much more property tax.
