Residential properties in Singapore cannot be rented out for short-term stays, even if it&#8217;s only one night. The minimum rental period for rentals is usually three months, though the licence may vary between the different residential properties. So if you&#8217;re one of the many b<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">usiness travelers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that are only transiting through Singapore for a few days, you&#8217;re still considered a &#8216;tourist&#8217;. You can only book a short-term stay at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Singapore serviced apartments<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, hotels, or hostels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For long term accommodations and extended stays, you need to be a Singapore Citizen, Permanent Resident, or Long-Term Resident. So you have to be someone with an Employment Pass, Work Permit, Student Pass, Dependent Pass, and a Long-Term Social Visit Pass.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Phew! Now that that&#8217;s out of the way, here&#8217;s what you need to know about renting in Singapore.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap \" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"803\" width=\"1200\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_hdb_flats_yishun.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_hdb_flats_yishun.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_hdb_flats_yishun-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_hdb_flats_yishun-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_hdb_flats_yishun-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_hdb_flats_yishun-600x403.jpg 600w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_hdb_flats_yishun-400x269.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"divider-wrap\"><div style=\"height: 10px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1659950338026{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 id=\"2-singapore-hdb-flat-rentals\"><strong>2.

HDB flats are housing built by the Housing Development Board, the government statutory board responsible for public housing. Most of the time, the regular apartments for HDB flats are more spacious. But if you still need extra space, you can rent the entire apartment. However, most HDB flats are built for nuclear families in mind, so it might be a bit more difficult to find a studio apartment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With Singapore&#8217;s uber-convenient public transport system, you can easily find an HDB flat that can still provide an easy commute to your workplace. HDB flats in Singapore don&#8217;t have in-house amenities, so to speak. But you can still find facilities such as basketball courts or badminton courts in the housing estate. Most neighbourhoods have public pools and gyms to boot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can do away with additional costs from housekeeping services if you rent an HDB flat for your family. And since they have no frills, you can rent an apartment at a more competitive rate. The<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/services2.hdb.gov.sg\/webapp\/BR12AWRentalEnq\/BR12PSearch.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Market Rental Rates for HDB flats are publicly available too,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> so you can easily find the best market rent price for your long-term apartment rentals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One thing to note\u2014most landlords and property owners prefer long term leases. Most lease terms go for one to two years, though you can find leases that go for six months too. And don&#8217;t forget to take note of the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hdb.gov.sg\/residential\/renting-a-flat\/renting-from-the-open-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Eligibility Conditions and Guidelines for HDB rentals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap \" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"800\" width=\"1200\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_sky_habitat.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_sky_habitat.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_sky_habitat-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_sky_habitat-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_sky_habitat-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/expat.metroresidences.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_sky_habitat-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"metroresidences_serviced_apartments_singapore_sky_habitat\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"divider-wrap\"><div style=\"height: 10px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1659950436604{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 id=\"3-singapore-condo-rental\"><strong>3.

Most condominiums in Singapore tout a better quality of life with their wide range of facilities within the compound. The more upscale developments would even boast tennis courts, an all-in-one fitness centre and steam rooms. Not to mention, the fully-furnished apartments tend to have more comfortable furnishings, especially when you&#8217;re renting a unit at a newer development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is a wide range of accommodation options available for condo rentals in Singapore too. You can find anything from one-bedroom apartments to a full-on penthouse. Though a studio for rent in Singapore tends to be smaller, there are plenty of ways to find extra space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And just like HDB Flat Rentals, leases tend to last around six months to two years as well. So it&#8217;s perfect if you&#8217;re staying put for a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">longer period<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. If your employer is generous enough to help cover the rental costs, there are platforms for corporate housing options that rent out condos too.
