Asked by Ismail Zam
I bought a resale flat in 2002 whilst still a single using my sister's name as co owner. I got married in 2008, and in Dec 2010, I bought over my sister's share of the flat as a sole owner. I understand that the repurchase of my sister's share is considered as a new resale purchase transaction and I fell under the 5yrs MOP which expires in Dec 2015. However, in Sep 2012, my application for rental of whole unit was approved by HDB, to which I did rent out my flat and I paid for the increament in property tax. However, I was not allowed to sell my flat only until I fulfilled the MOP of 5yrs. My question is, why did HDB approved my whole unit rental even before my MOP expires and yet doesn't allow me to sell my flat before the MOP expires?
