<h3>Citizenship</h3>
<p>Only Singapore Citizens are allowed to rent out the HDB flat. Singapore Permanent Resident flat owners are not allowed to do so.</p>
<h3>Minimum Occupation Period (MOP)</h3>
<p>You can rent out your flat after fulfilling the 5-year MOP. If your flat is non-subsidised (purchased from the open market without a housing grant) and purchased before 30 August 2010, the MOP is 3 years. Owners of Prime and Plus flats are not allowed to rent out the flat even after the 10-year MOP.</p>
<ul>
    <li>If you are the original purchaser, the MOP is computed from the date of purchase of the flat</li>
    <li>If there has been a transfer of flat ownership, the MOP is computed from the effective date of the transfer of flat ownership, or the date the owner was included as an authorised occupier of the flat</li>
    <li>After a resale of part-share, the owners have to meet a fresh MOP computed from the effective date of resale</li>
</ul>
<p>You can print the confirmation of your eligibility to rent out the whole flat before you <a href="https://services2.hdb.gov.sg/webapp/BR12AWFlatRentOutApplication">apply to rent out your flat</a>.</p>
<p>Power of Attorney, Donees named in the Lasting Power of Attorney or Court-appointed Deputy may <a href="https://www.hdb.gov.sg/write-to-us">write to us</a> to confirm the owners' eligibility to rent out the whole flat.</p>

Eligibility conditions for flat owners

<p>When renting out your flat, you will need to consider the NC quota if any tenant is a non-Malaysian non-citizen (Singapore permanent resident or foreigner). If the quota is reached, only Singaporeans and Malaysians can rent a flat in that neighbourhood or block. The quota does not apply if the family renting the flat includes at least 1 Singaporean and all unrelated tenants are Singaporeans or Malaysians.</p>
<p>The quota aims to prevent the formation of foreigner enclaves in public housing estates. Malaysians are not subject to this quota in view of their close cultural and historical similarities with Singaporeans. The quota is set at 8% at the neighbourhood level and 11% at the block level. This quota does not apply to the rental of bedrooms.</p>
<p>You may <a href="https://services2.hdb.gov.sg/webapp/BR12AWNCQuota/">check the NC quota</a> to see if your flat can be rented out to non-Malaysian NCs.</p>
