**Yes, you can list your property for rent**, provided you fulfill the baseline legal requirements in Singapore depending on your property type:
---
### 1. If It Is a Private Condominium or Landed Property
* **No Government Approval Needed:** You can list immediately as an owner.
* **Minimum Lease Term:** At least **3 consecutive months** under Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) regulations. Daily or weekly short-term rentals (such as Airbnb) are strictly prohibited.
* **Occupancy Cap:** A maximum of **6 unrelated occupants** (or up to 8 occupants if registered with URA for units $\ge$90 sqm).
* **Where to Post:** Carousell Property, SingaporeExpats classifieds, Facebook Marketplace/expat rental groups, or via a licensed real estate agent for PropertyGuru/99.co exposure.
---
### 2. If It Is an HDB Flat
* **Minimum Occupation Period (MOP):** You must have completed your **5-year MOP** before you can rent out the entire flat. *(Renting out individual spare bedrooms is allowed during MOP, provided you physically reside in the unit at all times).*
* **Citizenship Requirement:** Only **Singapore Citizen (SC)** flat owners are permitted to lease the whole flat. Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR) households cannot rent out the whole flat.
* **Prior HDB Approval Required:** You must register the subtenants and secure formal approval via the **My HDBPage** portal before the tenancy commences.
* **Minimum Lease Term:** At least **6 consecutive months** (no short-term rentals).
* **Non-Citizen Quota:** Check HDB's Non-Citizen Subletting Quota for your neighborhood/block if renting the whole flat to non-Malaysian foreigners.

2. **Tenancy Documentation:** Use the standard CEA Tenancy Agreement template.
3. **IRAS E-Stamping:** Ensure the Tenancy Agreement is stamped via IRAS myTax Portal within 14 days of signing (payable by the tenant).

1. What is your property type (private condominium or HDB flat)?
2. Are you looking to list and manage the viewings yourself, or do you require full agent marketing and tenant screening?
