FAQs
Ask whether pets are allowed, any size or breed restrictions, and cleaning expectations before move out. Disclose allergies or sensitivities early. If you need small modifications, like childproof latches, get written consent and agree on reinstatement responsibilities.
Usually, yes. Many 4-bedroom homes have at least 3 bathrooms (e.g., an en-suite master bath plus one or two other full bathrooms). That gives a big family multiple toilets/showers to use, reducing wait times. It’s good to check the exact count, but typically a 4-bedder is designed with enough bathrooms. You should have far fewer queues than in a smaller unit.
Learn evacuation routes from your room to emergency exits, understand fire alarm procedures, and know where fire extinguishers are located. Check that smoke detectors in your room work properly and report any issues. Understand building fire safety rules about blocking corridors or emergency exits with personal items.
Not typically. You’ll rely on public gyms, community clubs, and neighbourhood pools. Many tenants prefer HDBs for value and convenience to everyday shops and transport.
3-bedroom units offer excellent flexibility for families. Start with a master bedroom, nursery, and guest room/study. As children grow, convert the study to a second child's room. The extra space allows for toy storage, play areas, and separate study zones. Consider child-proofing requirements and proximity to good schools when choosing location.
Landed houses often have higher utility consumption due to larger spaces and multiple floors. Air-conditioning costs can be significant with bigger rooms and common areas. Water usage may be higher with garden watering. Discuss how utilities are split among housemates and whether there are caps or guidelines for usage to avoid bill shock.
Choose multi-functional furniture like a loft bed with desk underneath or storage ottomans. Use mirrors to create illusion of space and maximize natural light with light-colored curtains. Vertical storage solutions like wall-mounted shelves save floor space. Keep the room clutter-free and consider a small fan for better air circulation if the room feels stuffy.
Address cleanliness issues diplomatically by establishing clear cleaning schedules and standards upfront. Document problems with photos if needed, and discuss solutions rather than blame. Consider implementing a cleaning roster, shared cleaning supplies fund, or hiring occasional deep cleaning. If issues persist, involve the landlord or main tenant as mediator. Sometimes different cultural or personal standards require compromise and clear communication.
