Question: Using IPA to Rent a place
Hello everyone,
i arrived in Singapore 2 days ago, will start working 6/17, and looking for a place currently. I just performed by body checks and will collect the report on Monday 6/3 for the application of my s-pass.
Until then, i won't have my official s-pass, am I not allowed to sign a tenancy agreement without it?
does anyone else have this problem?
is my IPA enough to rent a place?
cheers,

I don't think it would be illegal. All they need to do is exercise "due diligence". Frankly, you have an IPA in hand, don't look like an axe murderer, there should be no issue.x9200 wrote:No. Some landlords may agree to sign but formally it would be illegal.
And, if the landlord wants to verify your status, it can be done as outlined at this link... your actual EP card is not required.
