True. I have a feeling you will be having most trying to rent out for 18 months (the longest time allowed by HDB for a single lease). You'll pay a stiff premium for a 6 month lease if you do find one. (A good place to start if you are not fussed about distances would be places that are up for en bloc). These often can be had very reasonable. Look for HUDC's that have been privatized and are potentials for en bloc. There hasn't been very many new en blocs, what with the glut of new HDB BTO units over the past three years, but it's just an idea.zzm9980 wrote:You will probably have a hard (or expensive) time finding an HDB unit to rent for only 6 months.
By law you will need a minimum of 6 months of residency left on your visa in order to rent any property in Singapore. Additionally, as you have already noted, you cannot rent for less than 6 months. (There is nothing stopping you from taking a six month lease, paying it in full and leaving after three months, but don't expect a refund for the other three months.manimaran.july1984 wrote:Thanks all for your reply! I'm starting my house hunt in this week and hopeful to get it soon.!
BTW, I raised this question because one of the agent has informed me that I should have minimum of 6 months or more validity on the EP pass.. But I have EP pass validity below 6 months currently. ( 5 months 20 days to be exact ).
I'm not sure why the agent told that.
