Unveiling the Complexities of Public Housing Ownership

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the intricacies surrounding private ownership of public housing in Singapore. It delves into the legislative and regulatory framework, covering topics such as the rights of owners, the role of town councils, and the restrictions on transfer. With its clear and accessible writing style, it serves as a valuable resource for professionals seeking in-depth information on public housing, as well as students and researchers interested in urban housing and its legal framework. HDB flat owners, in particular, will find this book enlightening as it offers insights into their rights and responsibilities.
