What should I do? Owner house is compulsory acquired by HDB Post27 May 08 9:48 am
Dear all,

Please give me advice. I rented the house on May 1. After that, on May 3, HDB Officer came with owner and took some photos of the house. Now, I received notice from HDB regarding to this owner. He did not pay monthly installments and HDB intended to compulsory acquired his house...

Did he cheat me to rent his house even though he knew that his house would be acquired? How many days I need to vacate the house in the worst case?

I have my contract stamped. Could I submit a small claim court against this owner?

Thanks alot
Diana

Negotiate with the owner and then move out. Don't waste time now. Better find another place. If you have cash/ CPF, buy a house of your own rather than rent. At least, you can call it home and it is yours.

Just ask him back for deposit and move out. If he does not return, you could fill a small claim court ??? and caveat to SLA??? so that other people know he is involving in court related issues . He may not be able to sell his house then.. Just a 2 cents suggestion . You should check it out ...

Hi Diana.

I am having the same problem too. If the owner is renting the flat from HDB, they are not allowed to let it out for rent. This is because the flat is heavily subsidized. I think you can check this under HDB website under "Renting a unit directly from HDB".

Under the policy, owner that is known to sub-let the place might lose their rights to the place and future HDB apartments (like if they want to get their own unit).

I think to teach these owner a lesson, get another place outside. move all your stuff to the new place and just stay in the unit a while until the HDB guys come again. Best if they confiscate the unit.

I spoke to the HDB people, if they come, plea to them that you are a victim and u need 2-3 weeks to vacate. If you raise the case they might just listen. They hate the owners not the victimised tennants.
