HDB flats are primarily for owner-occupation, and there are rules and checks in place to guard against misuse.

Flat owners are not allowed to sell or rent out their flats, or purchase any other residential properties, until they have met the MOP. The MOP restriction applies to both HDB flats bought directly from HDB or the resale market.
