ST : Case #1: Fined

Mar 28, 2010

Case #1: Fined

The owner had locked up one room in her four-room flat and sublet the rest of it to a family.

But she did not live in that room. She was staying in her parents' home, which is a private property.

This case of illegal subletting was uncovered during a routine check by the HDB.

It found out that the owner had bought her resale flat in 2006 but had not been living continuously in it.

Instead, she had sublet her flat without the HDB's approval since July 2008.

This was short of the five years that she must live in her flat, having bought it with a CPF housing grant, before she could sublet it out.

She was receiving $1,500 a month in rent, according to a written statement that the tenant gave to the HDB.

The tenant also confirmed that the owner had locked up one room, but was not living in the flat.

The owner eventually resumed living in her flat and paid HDB a fine of more than $6,000.
