The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has reduced its cap on allowable tenants for private properties from eight to six unrelated persons, reported The Straits Times.
In a letter sent out to real estate agencies, the URA noted that while the new rule will take effect from Monday (15 May), it will still allow existing tenancy agreements with seven or eight tenants to run its course until 15 May 2019.
After the said period, the new rule will apply regardless of the expiration date of the tenancy agreement.
