Hi, my sis (50 year old single) just bought a resale 4 room flat and intends to rent out 2 common rooms while locking the master bedroom. She will not be staying in this flat. She will still be staying with my mum as my sis needs to take care of her. Is this legally permitted by HDB? Thanks

It is not permitted by HDB, unless she writes in for permission to do so. She will need to fulfill the 5 years MOP, during this period she can rent out the spare bedrooms, but she must still be living in this property.

If permitted by HDB, she can rent out the whole apartment, just that during this period of time, it will not be counted as fulfilling the 5 years MOP. Hope this helps!

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. 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.

Hi,
This is not allowed. HDB will repossess the flat if she does this. The better way is to bring mum to her new place and get approval to rent out mum's unit. HDB will legally allow this.

Please contact me so that I can be of further assistance.
Cheers!
