Do I need to stamp my tenancy agreement, and who pays?

Yes. A tenancy agreement is stamped through IRAS, and unless your agreement says otherwise the tenant pays. For a lease of up to 4 years the duty is 0.4% of the total rent for the whole term.

Before paying for a rental: verify the agent and home

Search the advertised number or the number used by the person contacting you in CEA's Public Register. Compare the profile and agency details. CEA warns that a number without a matching agent profile is likely a scam even when the name and registration number belong to a real agent.

Can I rent out my condo on Airbnb for a week?

No. In any private home in Singapore, stays must be at least three consecutive months. Shorter lets are illegal, with fines starting at up to $5,000.
