I rented the whole unit of an apartment, is it right the the landlord claimed the CDC vouchers?

[Alilolo]

Landlord still can withhold address when rented out whole unit? Who is entitle to the voucher?

What is your residency foreigner? House belongs to who?

 

[glarerder]

It's for Singaporeans. Foreigners renting also want to get voucher? Or Singaporean renting?

 

[Clarence NMT]

Yes landlord right, who ask you rent and not lease

 

[James Tang]

It belongs to the owner of the flat. If you take and use them, it's fraud

Poor families renting from hdb?

 

[Wahisfish]

it is for owner.. not for the one who rented the unit.. time to buy own house..

 

[deathan9el]

take a look at your own ID
what does it states as your residential address?

 

[kuti-kuti]

Poor families renting from hdb?

Yah, not their names on properties

 

[glarerder]

Yah, not their names on properties

Then need to check with hdb to collect the voucher with their nric. Cos address would be on nric.

Whole unit meaning the entire apartment and not those "lock up one room" type.

Legally your landlord should have changed address in IC within 28 days of moving...so your landlord is not part of your household.

I am assuming U are Singaporean.

Interesting, apparently happen to a friend, not sure if it matter but is local couple.
was discussing and we have all kind of answer not sure which is correct ...some question why landlord retained rental address ... ...
Hope the authority look into it and give clear guidelines, seem like it quite ambiguous.

I believe the owner has the rights to the voucher as the tenants may just be temporary occupants of the apartments.

Likewise, when owners received rebates for utility bills and town council monthly fees, the owner has the right to keep these and still charge tenants for their monthly utility usage accordingly. High utilities directly corresponds to higher depreciation for equipment such as washing machine, air conditioner, oven/hob, television etc… which the owner may need to replace if faulty.

Owners are also liable to pay for income tax, property tax and also monthly maintenance fees/SCC fees which may amount to $300-500 per month depending on the type of property that tenants need not to bear.

If tenants want claim to CDC voucher, then they just have to be an owner to their own property.

this qn becoming like need to remove plastic wrapper from crabstick type of qn.

 

[MizunoVolley]

It belongs to the owner not who is staying there

bao toh landlord loh

by right not staying there cannot put address there

landlord probably trying to cheat subsidies..

like address put hdb but stay condo.. then still will get more gst voucher, healthcare subsidies etc

cheat ah gong money is serious offence..

cdc is based on your address with ica.. dont stay there cannot claim iirc

 

[dambio]

If you want the voucher, buy the house else suck thumb.
