==========Guidelines for Renting Out Rooms
*Subtenants must not be tenants/owners of other HDB flats except for :
Tenants/owners who are divorced/legally separated
- Only one of the divorced/legally separated parties may be a subtenant
Owners who are eligible to sublet their whole HDB flat
- They must sublet their own flat within 1 month after having rented a flat from another flat owner.
- They are not able to sublet their own flat after they move out of their flat as there are other occupiers remaining behind
*Subtenants must not be owners of Executive Condominium units where the 5-year minimum occupation period has not been met.
*Subtenants must not be tourists.
*Construction workers who are Work Permit holders should be Malaysians.
*c. Non-citizens legally residing in Singapore who are holders of Employment Passes, S Passes, Work Permits*, Student Passes, Dependant Passes, or Long-Term Social Visit Passes. These passes must have a validity period of at least 6 months as at the date of subletting application.
* living room, household shelters and utility room cannot be sublet
*No prior approval from HDB is required for subletting of the bedrooms. However, flat owners who sublet bedrooms in their HDB flats will have to register with HDB within 7 days of doing so. They are also required to notify HDB when they renew or terminate the subletting of bedrooms, and when there are changes to their subtenants' particulars.
*If you did not register the subletting of bedrooms with HDB and inform HDB of subsequent changes (termination, renewal of subletting and changes to subtenants or subtenants’ particulars) within the stipulated grace period, the subletting of bedrooms will be considered unauthorized. HDB can take action against you under the Housing Development Act which includes the imposition of penalty. For repeat offenders, HDB can compulsorily acquire the flat.
