There are also restrictions on who can sublet their flats.

Only Singapore citizens can sublet flats after meeting the minimum occupation period of 3 or 5 years. Singapore PRs are not permitted to sublet their flats.

According to this information, the PRC couple may have rented the flat legally from a Singapore Citizen owner, but are clearly not authorized to further sublet the flat.

Infact, the Singapore Citizen who had rented out this flat is likely to be the one liable as HDB puts the responsibility on the flat owner:

As a flat owner subletting your flat, you will be responsible for:

•Making sure the flat is sublet to eligible subtenants only
•Making sure that there is no overcrowding and the number of subtenants does not exceed the maximum number allowed
•Making sure that your subtenants have entered and are remaining in Singapore lawfully at all times (while the subletting is in force)
•Making sure that your subtenants do not further sublet the flat to other persons
•Making sure that your subtenants comply with all the covenants in the lease and the provisions of the Housing & Development Act and that you are responsible for all infringements, if any, committed by them

刚刚读到这个HDB内容。只能简单的解释

新加坡PR买了房子是不能租房间给人。

二房东不能租了整套房子，或租房间给人。

所有在租房间的人最好查一查，如果被新加坡政府发现了。房子可能会被收会，屋主将面对法律。二房东可能跑人。倒时你所付的首期被二房东拿跑了。又零时找不到房间。你将面对很多问题。
