The WP Applicant can only postpone the appointment to a later date or time (for maximum 2 times) while flat selection by subsequent sequence number in the waiting list will proceed during this period and the preferred units/unit types indicated or short lease quota left for this subject WP Applicant will therefore NOT be guaranteed upon the rescheduled appointment. Any change of the appointment shall use up 1 round of flat inspection and selection schedule. (8) Is the short lease renewable at the end of the lease term? The short lease signed after the launch of waiting list arrangement is 2-year fixed term. Renewal of such lease will NOT be guaranteed and will be subject to the availability of the unit concerned and other units that may be available for short lease at the relevant time, taking into consideration of the short lease quota available. 16
