Can a PR rent out his landed house?

A Singapore Permanent Resident (PR) can rent out their landed house, but there are specific conditions and approvals that must be met.

Firstly, the PR must have obtained approval from the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) to purchase the landed property, as landed houses are considered restricted properties under the Residential Property Act. To qualify, the PR typically needs to have been a resident for at least five years and must have made exceptional economic contributions to Singapore.

Once the PR owns the landed house, they can rent it out, but they must comply with the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) guidelines. This includes ensuring that the rental period is at least three consecutive months, as shorter rental periods are prohibited unless explicitly approved by the URA.

Additionally, the PR may need to apply for a variation of conditions under the Residential Property Act to rent out the property, depending on the specific terms of their property ownership.
