The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) has announced the availability of five rental units at the Hulhumale Island Market.

Unlike previous years, where stalls were allocated through a bidding process to the highest bidder, this time HDC will be selecting tenants through a draw among eligible applicants.

Each unit measures 73.33 square feet and will be leased for a period of two years. The monthly rent for each unit is set at MVR 7,500, with a security deposit of MVR 22,500 required upon signing.

Application forms are available on the HDC website, and completed forms must be submitted via email only to <a>[email protected]</a>.

The application window opens tomorrow at 8:30 AM and will close on September 23 at 3:30 PM. The draw to determine the successful applicants will take place on October 16 at 10:00 AM.
