SINGAPORE – Landlords who evict tenants who are on home quarantine order, or leave of absence (LOA), or based on nationality during the coronavirus situation could be barred from renting to foreign work pass holders in future.
In a joint statement on Monday night (Feb 3), the Manpower, Education and National Development ministries said that the government had received feedback about landlords evicting such tenants.
“Landlords found to have irresponsibly evicted their residents may face restrictions and even be barred from renting out their flats to foreign work pass holders in future,” the statement said.
It added that there are guidelines for landlords with tenants on home quarantine or LOA, and that there is “no need” to evict such tenants.
The ministries reiterated that those placed on home quarantine orders or LOA, who could be workers or students, “are well, and that these are simply precautionary measures to protect Singaporeans” from the spread of the virus.
They added that those who are unwell or with a fever or respiratory symptoms will be sent to a hospital for assessment and isolated if they are a suspect case.
