Reviewti HDB Rental Guide
HDB Room Rental Agreement Singapore: What to Include
A written tenancy agreement should clearly record the parties, room, rent, deposit, rental period, utilities, house rules, repairs, notice and deposit-return terms. CEA provides a residential tenancy agreement template for HDB flats that parties may adapt.
Terms worth recording clearly
- Names and contact details of the contracting parties.
- Exact HDB address and room being rented.
- Start and end dates.
- Monthly rent and due date.
- Deposit amount and refund/deduction conditions.
- Utilities, internet and other included charges.
- House rules and permitted use of common areas.
- Repairs and maintenance responsibilities.
- Notice and early-termination provisions.
- Move-in inventory/condition record and key handover.
Use a recognised starting point
The Council for Estate Agencies provides a tenancy agreement template for HDB flats. Use of the template is not compulsory and parties remain free to negotiate their terms, but it is a useful structured starting point.
