Singles who successfully apply for a flat under this new scheme piloted by the Housing and Development Board should be able to move in by the end of January next year, the housing agency said in a media release on Friday.
Under the pilot, instead of having HDB source for a flatmate, a social service agency will be appointed to match singles with a suitable flatmate and manage flat-sharing arrangements. "The flats will come with partitions installed to provide more privacy for the tenants," said HDB."General household furnishings and appliances, such as wardrobes, water heater, washing machine and refrigerator, will also be provided within each flat for tenants’ use."
Anticipate more singles in future as more and more youngsters do not want to get married. So please plan for future rental models.
