So, if your status were to change from the above allowable visas, then you would be technically illegal.Citizenship
Subtenants must be any of the following:
Singapore Citizens
Singapore Permanent Residents
Non-citizens legally residing in Singapore who are holders of Employment Passes, S Passes, Work Permits, Student Passes, Dependant Passes, or Long-Term Social Visit Passes. These passes must have a validity period of at least 6 months as at the date of your subletting application
Work Permit holders from the construction, marine and process sectors must be Malaysians
Tourists are not allowed as subtenants of HDB flats
More than 3 months SVP ? None that I know of.x9200 wrote:I didn't check HDB as they have their own regulations and not necessarily the same applies for the private properties, but what is in blue, is the redundancy I mentioned - are there any tourist visas with validity longer than 3 months?
It would be the first, if a landlord threw me out because my pass was cancelled and I am on 30 day SVP.One more related thing: often, after the pass is cancelled ICA/MoM grants short term visit pass just to wrap all the things up before one has to leave. How this would count?
So if I am given the 30 day social visa upon cancellation What should I do ? Just for argument's sake ..BBCWatcher wrote:I cannot find anything official that speaks to what happens after your permit/pass ends, except that you must leave Singapore before the STVP expires. Before a lease begins, private and HDB landlords have to perform due diligence to ascertain whether prospective tenants can legally stay. As I read it, they also have to keep track of permit/pass expiration dates and seek additional proof of renewed status when that expiration date is reached. I also see that HDB landlords have an obligation to report changes in their subtenants' particulars to HDB within 7 days -- if they know about such changes.
....But that's all I can find. The rest seems to be governed (or not) by tenancy agreements, agreed. Consequently there doesn't seem to be any legal barrier to a tenant staying in the same rented property after his/her permit/pass ends for the full duration of his/her immediate, subsequent 30-day STVP.
Anybody seeing anything different?

1) you are fine as per immigration
2) you are (seems to be) fine as per URA if you continue with the lease
3) 1&2 seems to be behind the concerns of HDB.
But if your TA obliges you to inform the LL on any changes in the pass you should do this or you risk possible recourse if the LL suffers some related damages (I am not sure if there could be any realistic).
