Conservancy & Maintenance Charges HDB properties are subject to monthly conservancy charges which are dependent on the relevant town council in charge of the property. Similarly, private condominiums and developments are subject to monthly maintenance fees payable quarterly to the relevant management corporation. PROTECTION OF LANDED RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY There is generally no restriction on foreign ownership of commercial or industrial property. However, transactions of restricted residential property (generally landed property) involving foreigners require prior approval by the Minister of Law in accordance with the Residential Property Act. Besides individuals who are foreigners, a foreign person is also defined in the Act to include a company incorporated in Singapore if the company has directors or members who are not Singapore citizens.
