Yes, more and more the norm for MNC firms is the requirement that current leases when renewed be in the name of the employee.

Why do Singapore owners prefer a company lease?
Less financial risk and personal stress in dealing with problems caused by tenants as it is perceived that a company has a longer corporate life than the period of the normal tenant’s lease.

Can I operate a business from a rented apartment or house?
Yes, however, signs or signboards are not allowed.

Is Singapore safe?
Public safety is worthy of 9.8 on a perfect scale of 10. There is an extremely low crime rate in Singapore, which has allowed this country to be the 23rd most peaceful country in the world. (Global Peace Index)

Do I need insurance?
We suggest all clients to have basic insurance that covers household items, cars, health, etc.

Can a lease be transferred or extended for another tenant to assume my contractual obligation?
Yes, however, this takes extra work and planning to make possible.

Can I sublet?
Normally it is not allowed. However by extra effort, it is possible.

What is the best type of transportation to take an injured person to a hospital?
If the situation is critical, call the Emergency Ambulance Hotline at 995. However, if it is a non-emergency, call the Non-Emergency Hotline at 1777. The best way to transport an injured person is by ambulance as taking a taxi or driving them there may increase the risk of more injuries.
