HDB and Private Residential Units Tenanted to Six Unrelated People Not from Same Family Unit

Mr Saktiandi Supaat asked the Minister for National Development (a) how many (i) HDB flats and (ii) private residential units are presently tenanted to six unrelated people who are not from the same family unit; (b) what is the profile mix of the tenants of such units by (i) citizenship, (ii) age group and (iii) occupation; and (c) whether the temporary easing of the rental occupancy cap until end-2026 will significantly affect rental prices inadvertently.

This Question has been addressed in the oral reply to the Parliamentary Questions on the Temporary Relaxation of Occupancy Cap, on 9 January 2024. [Please refer to "Rationale for and Impact of Increased Rental Occupancy Cap for HDB Units", Official Report, 9 January 2024, Vol 95, Issue 118, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
