\nThe government encourages Singaporeans residing in properties with short remaining leases to plan ahead and look for alternative housing early, said the Ministry of National Development in a written answer to Parliament on Monday.
\nIt noted that seniors have various housing options, including short-lease 2-room flexi flats which has no debarment period for purchase.
\n\u201cResidents can approach agencies for assistance if they need help transitioning to their next housing arrangement,\u201d it added.
\nThe statement was made in reply to the question of Cheryl Chan Wei Ling, MP for Fengshan SMC, who also asked on what measures are taken by the government to ensure that the neighbourhood of private housing estates will not be disproportionately populated by foreign workers or short-term rentals.
\nTo minimise disturbance to neighbours and safeguard the residential environment of private housing estates, private homeowners are allowed to rent out their properties for a minimum period of three months, with each housing unit having a maximum of six unrelated occupants only, said the ministry.
\n\u201cURA will proactively enforce against subletting arrangements that flout the rules, including prosecuting egregious offenders in court.\u201d
