Asked by
My wife (Singaporean) & I (PR) wish to purchase a resale HDB. Lets said I'm able exercised the OTP by April 2023, while waiting for the application to be approved by HDB, can I temporary rent the HDB unit from the seller for 2-3 months? Cause my current rental contract will end by May 2023, and I do not wish to extend the contract for another year.

Good morning Kok Wei,

minimum HDB rental duration is 6 months so it's not possible to rent 2 to 3 months from seller. Unless you can find a vacant unit for sale and able to take on 6 months rental and completion ends after the lease then shouldnt be an issue.

Have you speak to your landlord to extend for a few months after May 2023?

Or should we look for an unit asap? How come you wish to secure an unit by April 2023?

Hope my sharing helps in aiding in your enquiry. May I know how can I value add further in your property needs?

Best regards,

YT Tan

Hello
The seller cannot rent the unit to you for 2-3 mths as that is illegal for HDB rental. HDB rental minimum term is 6 mths.

Therefore you need to time your buying and selling timing as closely as possible.

Hi Kok Wei,

Minimum rental period for HDB is 6 months therefore the proposal of 2-3 months is illegal.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 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.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!

Hi Kok Wei,

1) A legal HDB rental period is a minimum of 6 months.
2) To rent from a seller is possible as long as they agree, but this will not change the minimum rental period.
3) In order for you to have more options in choosing your purchase, I would suggest you discuss with your current landlord to extend a few months rather than signing a complete 1 yr contract.

Please give me a thumbs-up if the answer provided is relevant to your main concern. Thanks!!!

I'll be glad to assist.
