Your Children Cannot Inherit a Short-Lease 2-Room Flexi (What HDB Refunds Instead)

A short-lease 2-room Flexi is not just a smaller version of a normal HDB flat. HDB's own conditions say it cannot be sold in the open market, and that if you no longer wish to live in it or become ineligible to do so, the flat must be returned to HDB, which pays you the value of the unused portion of the lease. That removes the resale route every other HDB flat has, and the unused portion shrinks every year you live there, by design, because living in it is the whole point. This video walks through the sentence that changes everything, what returning the flat actually means, what HDB pays instead, the one question you have to put to HDB yourself, and who this should genuinely worry. Your flat is one piece of a bigger retirement picture.

Wei is not a MAS licensed adviser and is not a lawyer. The open-market restriction, the return-to-HDB route and the payment for the unused portion of the lease are HDB's published conditions. HDB's public pages do not set out the treatment on an owner's death or how that payment is computed, so no formula is given here. Confirm your own position with HDB and a qualified lawyer.
