TENDER FOR STATE PROPERTIES

SLA-managed properties, comprising mainly premises previously used for schools, community centres and camps, are generally available for rental through tender. Agent-managed properties, mainly residential and commercial, can be rented directly from the agents.

The tenure for State properties varies. Some are rented out through tenancies where the tenure depends on the development time-frame for the properties, while others are rented out through Temporary Occupation Licenses (TOLs). TOLs either cover a fixed short term or are renewable on a monthly or yearly basis.

  • SLA’s written consent for sub-tenancy

  • Tenure of the property
  • Prospective sub-tenants should also seek legal advice before signing any sub-tenancy agreements.
