Can a PR rent out the whole landed property?

If you are a Singapore PR who bought a landed residential property (outside Sentosa Cove), you generally cannot rent out the whole landed house; approval to purchase such “restricted residential property” is usually granted only on the condition that it is for owner‑occupation by you and your family.

Key points:

- Landed properties (terrace, semi‑D, bungalow, most strata landed) are classified as restricted residential properties and PRs need Singapore Land Authority / LDAU approval to buy them.
- One core approval condition is that the property must be used only for your own occupation, not for full-unit rental.
- PRs who breached this owner‑occupation condition by renting out their landed homes have been fined.
- The only common exception is Sentosa Cove landed homes, where foreigners and PRs may buy for their own stay and typical private‑property rental rules can apply, subject to URA and SLA regulations and any specific approval conditions attached to your purchase.

You should check your SLA/LDAU approval letter for the exact conditions attached to your landed property; if it states “for owner‑occupation only,” you cannot legally rent out the entire house.
