Data on Non-citizen Quota of HDB Flat Rental in Neighbourhoods by Nationality

Mr Pritam Singh asked the Minister for National Development (a) with regard to the HDB's Non-Citizen Quota for Flat Rental, what is the current percentage at the neighbourhood level for each neighbourhood respectively; and (b) how many HDB units, in part and in whole unit respectively, are rented out to (i) Singaporeans (ii) Malaysians and (iii) non-Malaysians in total.

Mr Chee Hong Tat: As of August 2026, about 2% of neighbourhoods have reached the Non-Citizen Quota for renting out of whole flats.

Of the approximately 59,000 whole flat rentals across all neighbourhoods, about 20% were rented out to Singaporean and Malaysian tenants, and the remaining 80% were rented out to tenants with at least one non-Malaysian foreigner. For the approximately 117,000 flats with bedroom rentals, the proportions were about 52% and 48% respectively.
