Hi,

As tenants, are we violating law if we rent unapproved HDB unit? if the relevant authority find out, will action be taken against the landlord, the tenant or both?

As thus far, most of the agents that i met said that it is not a problem to rent an unapproved HDB unit.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Why go thru the hassle of renting an unapproved unit, as whatever one does against the law, one has no recourse. Imagine if the owner does something against you, u have no recourse. One also does not pay stamp duty on the tenancy, & the court of law does not recognise the tenancy.

Why end up as the losing party?

    Hi. Thanks for the reply.

    Then what's the whole practise of locking one door of an HDB unit all about then? Can i assume it's an unapproved HDB unit if the owner locked one room (utility room) during our lease?is it a common practice in the industry?

If an unapproved unit is rented, both parties may face consequences.
It’s essential to verify the approval status with HDB or a reliable agent before proceeding.
Remember, it’s crucial to follow the regulations to maintain a harmonious living environment. If you have any doubts, seek professional advice or check directly with HDB
