Kangadrool Supersonic June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 What to do? Many locals especially those hitting 40's have difficulty finding employment with decent sustainable income. That's the only last resort. Am sure most will not want to compromise on their privacy, but when situation calls for, no choice. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count-Bracula Twincharged June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 I am sure if your neighbours are doing that day in day out, you won't be so liberal. Chicken coop is worse. In fact my next door neighbour who's hiding from loan sharks have rented out their entire flat to quite a few foreigners already. So far so good. A Pakistani, an Indian from Punjab region and the latest one, a Serbian guy an his girlfriend. The first 2 were okay but this 3rd guy a rather heavy smoker.

Baal Supersonic June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 If I'm not wrong, losing your flat doesn't mean $0. What HDB does is to return a certain amount (probably valuation) back to the owner's CPF. Correct me if I'm wrong . Another problem is overcrowding due to rental. It's amazing when you see almost half a platoon of different faces go in and out of 1 unit all the time From what i prev understand, they "re-possess" back at 90% of valuation, nett.

Red Eyes is a nationwide pandemic. Also based on the technicality that only HDB owns the flat. The so called owner is but a lessee. But of course whether today's prices reflects that of a lessee leasing public housing, that is a seperate matter... I see, that's not too bad for repossessing. I wonder if HDB will sell at the discounted price the 10% off valuation is the less jialat part. The brutal part is the COV paid.... back then... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Pakistani, an Indian from Punjab region and the latest one, a Serbian guy an his girlfriend. The first 2 were okay but this 3rd guy a rather heavy smoker. AH HA! Now I found out the neighbour is subletting out his whole flat illegally. He has yet to fulfil his MOP and already renting out his flat. Any bro knows the consequences for this? I'm disgusted by this group of tenants indian/blanga FWs who are very rowdy and litter all over the corridor, staircase and lift lobby. They are turning this place into a slum. Am waiting for turn to see MP at MPS, see whether he can help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send email to HDB but you must have some valid evidence that the real owner is not staying in the unit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showster Twincharged September 21, 2015 Share September 21, 2015 Rent out flat not always need to MOP first. There are exceptions that HDB allows... The rowdy issue really need to take it up to see if it is within allowed framework. Littering definitely no, smoking is not illegal. AH HA!

Send email to HDB but you must have some valid evidence that the real owner is not staying in the unit.That was what the volunteer at tye MPS told me, lodge a police and hdb will have a record to work on. Confirm and double confirm the owners not staying here and all 3 rooms are taken up. Have not seen these 2 jokers for almost 1.5 years since they run chicken from the loan sharks. Install CCTV outside your house aimed at his door I have cctv installed but it is only a *ahem* Just email HDB, they will investigate. no need to proof owner not staying there. after HDB mail the owner he will surely ask those tenants to pack up. Really hope they pack up and go, once they start drinking I hate to think what they are capable of, that's why I kept harping on the safety issues at the MPS.

Littering definitely no, smoking is not illegal. Bro, smoking along hdb corridor and void deck is not allowed now. These have been added to the smoking banned areas.
