All along i though for 2 room bto for singles with 99 years lease de.

After 5 years mop, the owner can rent out the entire hdb n move out.

Today my cousin who got the 2 room bto. He say the agreement that he sign with hdb says that he "forever" cannot rent out the 2 room bto, after 5 years mop he can sell the hdb to singles or poor families but he cannot rent it out.

Hdb say because the bto is heavily subsidized so owner cannot rent it out.

Is this true? :eek:

What TS mention is OWNER SHIFT OUT, Rent out the whole 2 room unit, and your cousin mention can't be done (from the agreement he/she read)

Pls ask him to show you the agreement and the clause which states what you mentioned. (maybe there is new rule in 2020, who knows?)

or maybe you prefer to believe this official HDB website :
Pls click : Eligibility to rent out whole unit after MOP

Under <<Eligibility conditions for persons who wish to rent HDB flats >> ,
I can see 1room and 2 room flat being reflected there.

To those who are confused, room rental is definitely a NO NO... as the rational is there is no additional room for extra tenant (if owner is already physically staying there.)

Room rental ,
and renting out whole unit,
is two different issues altogether.

Pls don't lump them together and confuse each other.

Hdb flat is for owner occupation. Even if invest in pte property, hv to stay hdb and rent out the pte.

2rm got no seperate room to rent out. So owner stay where? Thats the rationale.

https://www.gov.sg/article/renting-out-your-hdb-flat

For room rental, it's clear 'Only bedrooms from HDB flats that are 3-room or larger can be rented out'

But one is allowed to sublet whole flat after MOP.

My bro rented out his 2rm flat for many years already though new rules allow only 3 years or 1.5 years depending on tenant's status.
