"As of 30 June 2017, owners of private residential properties are prohibited from renting out their property for less than 3 consecutive months. This is unless they have permission from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) to do so.
Private residential property owners found guilty of renting out their property for less than 3 months can be fined up to $200,000. If the rental continues even after conviction, the owner can be fined up to $10,000 for each extra day of rental after conviction (or part thereof).
Repeat offenders are subject to the same consequences, in addition to a possible jail term of up to 12 months.
Former property agent Joel Su Jiqing was fined $158,000 for subletting six residential units in Geylang for illegal short-term stays through Airbnb.
This fine consisted of a $46,000 fine to account for the profits that Su had made from the illegal rentals (after deducting lease payments), as well as a separate $112,000 fine to punish him for his offences."

See ah. Singapore sometimes work like this….authorities only enforce when it becomes a problem. Other than that, the tend to know it exist but if no one complains, or there is no SD measures being flouted or covid cases coming from there, they will close one eye and wait see. With many Ang moh tourist coming in u think they will shut Airbnb meh
