U save is tagged to the bill isn’t it? How to have two electrical bills for the same house?
That's why i asked the question . Cos reading that post, it sounds like both will get. But how can . Cos there is only one bill.

If each family member can claim from each different units, shouldn't be possible right

Possible.. it's disturbed by the ICA registered address... like if in some case... if a husband and wife are living separately.. and have 2 different address registered under ICA (I don't know maybe separation or moving in to aging parents home to take care of them) and .. they are still technically still family members but they are still able to claim from each of their own residing address...

So if a very rich person bought many houses, each house registered under their different children, each child will get 1 set of CDC vouchers, wow!!!
Yes that will work. if you have 3 children above the age of 18 and 4 houses.. you can ask them to registered their address into each properties.. then u have 4 set of CDC voucher... But then isn't it better if all living in just one or two house and rent all the rest out ...

Sinkie tenants renting the whole unit and have their residential address updated can claim, by right the landlord suppose to update their residential address also and would not be eligible to cdc voucher under their tenanted address.

Screw the misleading answers here

Tenants have no rights

It belongs to the owner of the flat. If you take and use them, it's fraud
He can't claim cos the household is registered under the landlord and not the tenant. If landlord's IC still showing the address then landlord gets to claim. It's for household with at least a Singaporean. FT renting a whole unit is not entitled.

Nope... if he is a Singaporean.. and he had registered the rented address with ICA... The landlord presumably the owner did not update his current residing address with the ICA...

Then it will depend who is faster .. the tenant should technically able to log in a claim ..

Is it a must for landlord to change their residential address if they rent out the whole unit?

YES .. it's a must .

if you don't change the address deliberately.. You can get owner occupied rate for property tax. or maybe some other perks like GST voucher.. Isn't it Tax evasion and cheating the system ?

if the landlord's ic is still showing the address, he would be fined $5000, or jail.

There were cases where people update bogus addresses to get their child into p sch. Kenna caught and sent to court.

Addresses should be updated to where one is legally allowed to stay. Even if landlord has 10 units and rented out all 10 of his apartments, he should only update to the one address he is finally staying. Tenant will update to where they are legally staying according to valid tenancy agreement. Simple as that.

Each household should not take more than one CDC voucher. G already counted and stated 1.27m households only. It is per household, not number of apartments per household owns.

you pay property tax when u rent the whole unit? or landlord pay?
by your logic... The richer you are , you should be getting better treatment from the government . cause u pay more tax.. like if you pay for luxury car COE ... Did our government build you a special lane... only for luxury car ?

Or if you are the top 1% , when you go into our public hospital.. u get immediate treatment for maybe a minor illness ? Do you get a special cabin all on your own in our mrt ?

Then again you are 1% , you wont use the public services.. then why you need to pay tax ?

lol so many wrong answers here

The Singaporean staying at his registered address will claim the vouchers. So if he is renting will claim at the rental address .

Doesn't need to be landlord.

The landlord will claim the CDC vouchers at HIS own registered address which CANNOT be the rental address ( if whole flat has been rented out)

there is an exception when the landlord is renting a room to another singaporean tenant. Then whoever claim first.. the other can go cc to appeal
