Actually not just HDB is a rental. Leasehold encompasses condo, landed as long as it is a leasehold. A lease means it's RENTAL. Just that HDB have alot more red tapes in relative to the leasehold Condo and leasehold landed. It a huge difference between a leasehold and freehold. Huge huge difference. I experienced the true meaning of freehold during my extended time overseas not SG type of brainwash you that you "own" a property that is on a leasehold lol....
