Extract from HDB web HDB flats sold under the Home Ownership Scheme are meant for owner-occupation by the owners and their families. However, flat owners may sublet their whole flat or spare rooms if they meet the eligibility conditions. To sublet the whole flat, prior approval from HDB is needed. For subletting of rooms, no approval from HDB is required but flat owners must continue to live in the flat during the period of subletting and comply with other subletting conditions. To avoid committing the offence of harbouring immigration offenders, we advise flat owners to check and ensure that their foreign subtenants are legally allowed to stay in Singapore when subletting their whole flat or rooms. This service package provides information on subletting of whole HDB flats and rooms. It also allows flat owners to submit online applications for transactions relating to subletting of HDB flats and requests to check foreign subtenants' immigration and employment status.
