linggie 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2008 Hihi Linggie, Think it's bcos of the staying near/with parents scheme. Though we did not take any grant for it. Yah, if dont remove her name as a occupier, then she cant buy another flat. You know anyone who ever had the same problem as me? Any advice? Anyway, how's life in the states? Fun being a taitai there? I am good thanks! haha I set up a blog to stay in touch with my friends back home. if you are interested: http://www.ring-a-ding-a-ling.blogspot.com/ anyway I think you are facing the same issue as Lynn (if you refer right to the begining of the forum) in her case, her in-laws have to sell the flat within 6 months of them collecting the keys to their flat as they also listed their in-laws as occupiers. In the end, they decided against staying with in-laws so they forfeit the flat. There is no grant given to those staying the parents as HDB has deemed the selling price is already discounted for first time buyers. I guess your chance now is to appeal to the MP because I think HDB take quite a hard stance to your situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fun being a taitai there? hhmm... your situation is a bit tricky here. pardon to ask, why did you include your MIL as an occupier in the first place? was it to qualify for some scheme? or were your bf and MIL the original owners and you were added in later? if it is the former, i guess you have to prove that you did not gain any unfair advantages in doing so. if it is the later, then more tricky as HDB rule states that the original owner i.e. your MIL cannot be remove from the list. as linggie has stated, HDB is quite strict on this.

Hi Crazycar, Hmm, cause their current plc is both of their names mah, so when apply for this new flat, then add her name as occupier lor. Besides, applying under the married child priority scheme to stay near/with parents, as their current plc is near the new plc. Didnt know 1 yr later, they now wanna buy another flat, so have to take out the name as occupier. Btw, do you happen to know anyothers who had the same situation as me? Cox seems u r very clear of hdb's policies. Got any advice? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. me no HDB rules expert. just that i was also in a unique situation before (though not the same as yours) and had to have many dealings with them. so read up a lot on these HDB rulings. since you have include your MIL as an occupier to qualify for the married child priority scheme which indirectly gave u a higher chance of getting the new flat, HDB is not likely to allow your MIL to be remove as an occupier.

Hi Crazycar, The married child prioriy scheme is stay with or stay near parents scheme mah. ie within the same estate or within 2km, so we told hdb we will buy another plc within the 2km for my MIL, but HDB also dont allow. That's why so headache lor! Struck in between. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbp026 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2008 Hi all, My unit number plate drops from the main gate. I tried to attach back with 3M tape but it still drop after a few days. I reported to the bsc already, however, they cant confirm when the contactor can come to fix my plate. Anyone encounter similar problem ??? Please advise what should I do now ? I feel so uneasy without my flat unit number... The bsc is still as inefficient as before... kbp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
