Cars08 1st Gear August 14, 2012 Share August 14, 2012 gist of the issue is.. he declare to HDB. rent out two room. when actual fact he sublet out whole unit minus the one close door.. you know 1 room 500, 2 room is 1000. iirc 2 bedroom plus living plus kitchen easily 1500 to 1700 now.. meaning he is cheating gahmen by 700. plus if you still stay there. the property tax will be 4% if not 10%. he is in actual fact jumping tax too.. I only know PRs or FRs went further to sublet to cover their rental and earn more money for themselves... The fact that he did close up one room means the whole unit is not sublet what...nothing wrong... unless HDB clearly states that by closing one room for your own usage = sublet entire unit. If they didnt spell it out...then many ppl will close one room and sublet the balance. So if u are very clear with your rules then how come ppl tot can close one room and rent the rest? Even agents are telling owners that they can jus close one room and rent out the rest leh... something I heard quite frequently previously unless there are more changes to this... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andylkkg 4th Gear August 14, 2012 Share August 14, 2012 Perhaps, he not happy that his flat is compulsory acquisited by HDB whereas he can fetch a better price should he sell the unit himself in the open market? HDB should have order or compel him to sell off his unit maybe say..within 3 months...etc rather than thru acquisition! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do like wat u say...it is not call punishment liao..the fact that they acquired it back is to punish him..but whether there is sufficient evidence...must see how the case develop...Landmark case...once precedent set...ppl who has the money can sue HDB if they suka suka acquire...they must make sure their rules are concised before they slap such punitive sentence on others... I not supporting this guy..but I dun like HDB... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u r not poor once, how u appreciate what is call hunger? if it is traded in a free market, then nothing to be fair or not fair. But for a regulated market, especially when people couldn't get one yet someone else can rent and not stay in it, i guess it is the public that are red eye about it. nothing to do with poor or rich lah.

Sk65 1st Gear August 14, 2012 Share August 14, 2012 actually its high time the govt ban sub letting wat lock one room lock 2 rooms all are loopholes HDB flats are meant to be subsidized units if kena posted overseas, then rent out whole house, i believe such situations can apply from HDB to be allowed for rental. how many of you heard of, married stay with parents, HDB rent out to pay installment. KNN !@#!$ not that i am directly implicated.... but that really one reason why people are dying to buy HDB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttle2 Supersonic August 14, 2012 Share August 14, 2012 I say, nevermind let this Chew Teck Fatt talk.... bloody hell, lock one room and try to keh kiang, sue HDB. KNN use my grandfather's money and cheat my grandfather and me? let him defend himself...but if he cant prove his innocence, I say take his flat and fine him additional $300k minimum for wasting time and money. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
