Singapore Room Rental Agreement — FAQs
What is a room rental agreement in Singapore?
A room rental agreement (also called a room tenancy or lodger agreement) is a contract between a property occupant and someone renting a single room within the unit. Unlike a whole-unit tenancy, the tenant shares common areas with the landlord or other occupants. The agreement covers rent, utilities, house rules, notice period, and deposit.
Is a room rental agreement legally binding in Singapore?
Yes — a signed room rental agreement with consideration (payment of rent) is legally binding. Stamp duty applies: 0.4% of total rent for leases up to 1 year, payable to IRAS within 14 days. A written agreement is strongly recommended to avoid disputes over deposit, notice periods, and house rules.
Can HDB flat owners rent out rooms?
Yes, Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who own HDB flats may rent out rooms without requiring HDB approval for subletting, subject to the flat's occupancy cap (typically 6 persons for 3-room flats, 9 for larger flats). The owner must continue to live in the flat. For whole-flat subletting, HDB approval and meeting the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) are required.
What should a Singapore room rental agreement include?
Key items: full address and room description, monthly rent and payment date, utility bill arrangement (included or split), security deposit amount and refund terms, notice period (typically 1 month), house rules (guests, noise, shared spaces), and the landlord's right to access the room with notice.
How to terminate a room rental agreement in Singapore?
Give written notice per the agreed notice period (usually 1 month). If the agreement has a fixed term, early termination without a break clause may result in forfeiture of deposit or compensation to the landlord. Room renters classified as licensees (rather than tenants) have less legal protection than whole-unit tenants, so a clear written agreement is especially important.
