I am living in a country as a permanent resident which only citizens are allowed subsidised housing. I have to rent a flat at market rate. This flat as advertised is rented from the government is not allowed to sublet and is against the law too.The owners are old couple living with their children. I went to view the flat and many people from Thailand/India also keen. But the owner's daughter offers to me because I look like the locals and wants to avoid suspicion from the neighbours.The flat is $650 per month with bedroom/hall/bathroom, washing machine, water heater, aircondition and fully furnished. I told the lady I can't afford and I asked for $500 and she agreed. Earlier the real estate agent told me this flat has no contract or paperwork because it is a government's flat and she only can issue me a receipt. I wonder if this is the right way. Should I accept the flat? Tomorrow I have to pay the deposit, can someone tell me what I should do? This is too good to believe.

Just pay one month advance rent, that all. No written contract ? never mind only $500. Even if there is a written contract for you and should anything turn bad, you think you want to take legal action for the sake of $500 ? In Singapore, taking legal action can cause you anything about thousands of dollars involved. Go ahead, don't worry !

i smell something fishy going on here...without any contract, there will be nothing to back u up my friend. Just follow your own gut feeling, if u think it is safe, well go on...but if i was u, without any contract, i wouldnt buy, purchase especially rent anything....at the end of the day, we r living in a doggy dog world...be careful

I think you better don't believe such things. If they sublet to you, they are against the law too. I think it is better to get all documentation in black and white to play safe, otherwise when they turned their back against you, you are in deep trouble too
