Yes it's possible, but there are currently no units available for rent in that block.

In general, the blocks in this cluster of HDB should be able to rent through open market, however, I am unable to get the details of the unit mix in this block therefore I suspect these units are rental blocks direct from HDB.

This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.
With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

**No, you cannot rent a flat at 5 Banda Street through the open market.**
---
### Why Open Market Rental Is Not Allowed
1. **100% Public Rental Housing:**
Block 5 Banda Street (Kreta Ayer / Chinatown) consists entirely of **1-room flats (430 units)** designated under HDB’s **Public Rental Scheme**. None of the units in this block are sold or privately owned.
2. **No Subletting Allowed:**
Because all units are directly owned and leased out by HDB to heavily subsidised, low-income lower-tier households or vulnerable seniors:
* Existing tenants are strictly prohibited from subletting the flat, rooms, or bedspaces on the open market.
* Engaging in open-market rentals or unauthorized subletting here constitutes an offense under HDB regulations, leading to immediate tenancy termination and eviction.
3. **How One Actually Gets a Flat Here:**
Flats in Block 5 Banda Street can only be tenanted directly from the government by applying through **HDB's Public Rental Scheme** (e.g., under the Family Scheme or Joint Singles Scheme), subject to stringent citizenship, housing history, and household income ceilings (typically $\le$ S$1,500/month).
---
### Open-Market Alternatives Nearby
If you want to rent a room or whole flat in the Chinatown / Central Area on the open market, you should look at neighboring **homeowner-sold HDB blocks**, such as:
* **Smith Street (Blk 335–336 / Kreta Ayer Heights)**
* **Sago Lane (Blk 4)**
* **Upper Cross Street (Blk 534–538)**
* **Tanjong Pagar Plaza / Cantonment Close**
These blocks have private individual owners legally authorized to rent out whole flats or spare bedrooms on property portals.
