Tenants cannot sublet HDB flats to others
I REFER to Ms Mary Tan's letter last Tuesday, 'Subletting - Relaxation of rules works against genuine residents'. HDB flats are primarily meant for owner-occupation.
Each household can own only one HDB flat at any one time. However, we recognise that some flat owners may need to sublet their rooms or flat to meet their financial needs.
Therefore, flat owners can sublet their flats if they meet the HDB's policy requirements. Flat owners who wish to sublet their whole flat must obtain approval from HDB and fulfil the minimum occupation period. HDB's approval is not needed to sublet room(s) within a flat.
From Feb 1, owners who sublet rooms must register the subletting with the HDB within seven days of doing so. They must also notify the HDB when they renew or terminate their subletting contracts and when there are changes to their tenants' particulars.
The new requirement supports the Ministry of Home Affairs' efforts to eradicate loan-sharking activities, and to better protect HDB residents.
Flat owners who sublet rooms or their whole flat must comply with our terms and conditions, and ensure that their tenants do not disturb or inconvenience other residents unnecessarily.
Tenants cannot further sublet the flat to others. The HDB takes a very serious view of unauthorised subletting of flats and will act accordingly.
