Renting out your condo anything a month or less is illegal and against the MBPP law.

i think the residents are against it.

my friend rented a 3 bedroom condo above PTS back then when we attended a friend's wedding, when we 'check in' there is this ang moh very unhappy and kept telling the owner that she was not allowed to do this.

They even followed us up to the unit, i suppose to jot down the unit number

Wow! so I think is illegal to rent for less then a month else MBPP won't just simply take action.
