The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) has also announced today that they will be checking if the flats they have allocated are being rented out to others.

HDC stated that the Social Housing Scheme is a government program to provide affordable housing to those who lack housing housing facilities. Therefore, renting out these flats to others is a violation of the agreement between HDC and the flat recipient.

HDC said that they will be monitoring whether the flats they have allocated have been rented out to other parties.

"We also announce that if flats have been rented out to others in violation of the agreement, action will be taken against those parties as stipulated in the agreement," HDC said in their statement.

HDC has issued this statement following an incident where a three-bedroom apartment from the Gedhoruverin flats developed by Fahi Dhiriulhun Corporation (FDC) was advertised for rent at MVR 25,000, even before the handover process was completed.

In response to this, FDC has stated that they will investigate the matter and take action.
