## Featured rationale

The tighter eligibility and rental conditions may constrain the investor and resale buyer pools while preserving prime public housing primarily for owner-occupation.

## AI summary

PLH resale flats require an eligible family nucleus, a prevailing $14,000 income ceiling and no recent private-property ownership, while whole-flat rentals remain prohibited.
