Hi Sonia,
1) You are right that changing your residential address to your EC will affect the occupancy capacity.
2) URA had changed the previous 10sqm/person to a max cap of 6 unrelated people in a rental premise.

3) The reason is simple is when you stated you are staying in the EC, your property tax will be 4% instead of 10%.
Therefore once you and your sibling are staying there enjoying the lower property tax, the maximum occupancy for renting out is 4 pax only.
Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more query, please feel free to contact me at
