Cannot blame them. Mostly are only 1 room flats. Not uncommon to have a family of 4 or more staying in one of such units.

But the rent is very cheap if you are a super low income household and eligible. I think around $27.00/mth excluding S&CC and town council fees.

However the wait can be quite long unless your case is very special then social services may expedite your request.

$26. Comes with its pros and cons. Low SES neighbours for one, not just the ones besides your unit, the ones above matter as well.
Got low class people eat food lazy to clean just throw out the window, then land on your clean laundry that is hung out to dry.

For the very cheap rent, one has to tamper their expectations properly.

Last year I ever walked pass before one rental block unit. Sibei gao lat.

In the living room there is a drum set. The kid play heavy metal music loudly and drum at the same time! Literally a jam studio with windows and door opened!

King kor is not wrong to say rental block area is very happening. Always have some funny sh*t going on. LOL!

Also last time rental block is not near those who paid the flat. Like they got their own Custer


Nowday HDB mix rental and owner together. That why avoid if possible

2 room can be single or those who downgrad


Rental are those cannot afford their home due to his history, kena kick out, cheated, etc..... Some unit change hand offen as they don't stay long. Some lazy to work, wait comcare feed them and keep staying there cause cheap or some no need to pay

Good for lie flat lifestyle!

That's why many foreigners want to become Singapore citizens. 20 years ago the foreigners turned citizens are of higher calibre. Nowadays I think is mostly sub standard types.

Even PRs also exploit gao gao liao. A non married PR couple can have 2x resale flats rent out rooms but lock one room per flat for wayang then return to origin country to retire. Song song gao jurong!

Force sell these properties owned by such PRs you see the price will drop to reasonable level or not.

Don't know PAPaya is deaf or blind of such loopholes. Very important not to issue blank cheque book to them!

My colleague used to stay at a rented unit. He rented it from someone who qualified and then sublet to him. There were crazy people knocking loudly on his door late at night every now and then.

Not a great environment for anyone with kids.

The risers along the corridors have no doors. Easier for CNB to search through when they come a-raiding.

Wah didnt know such story about rental. No wonder i managed to get bto despite poor queue number.
