FAQs
Yards need care. Ask if the landlord handles gardening or if tenants must do it. You might be expected to do basics like watering plants or mowing the lawn. If you share the house, agree on a plan so the outdoor space is maintained without overburdening anyone.
HDB living means thinner walls, so noise travels easily between units and rooms. Be considerate with music, phone calls, and movement during quiet hours. Cooking smells can also spread quickly - use exhaust fans and keep doors closed when cooking strong-smelling food. The close-knit community feel means neighbors often know each other, which can be comforting but also means less anonymity.
Families need significant storage for clothing, toys, school supplies, and household items. Look for built-in wardrobes in each bedroom, linen closets, kitchen storage, and utility areas. Check if there's a storeroom, under-stair storage, or if you can add storage furniture without overcrowding the space.
Condo management fees (maintenance fees) are typically included in your rent, but some landlords may pass increases to tenants. These fees cover facility maintenance, security, and common area upkeep. Ask if rent includes all management fees or if there are additional charges for facility usage. Higher-end condos with more amenities generally have higher management fees reflected in rental prices.
A master bedroom (with an attached bathroom) is ideal if you value extra space and privacy. It’s great for couples or individuals who want more room and their own bathroom. You get a larger area to yourself, which is nice if you work from your room or just like having a private bathroom and more storage. If your budget allows and you prefer not to share a bathroom, a master bedroom is a good choice.
HDB estates often have nearby markets, food courts, clinics, schools, and community centers. Many have playgrounds, fitness corners, and resident committee activities. Check proximity to essential services, public transport, and whether the estate has active community programs that might interest you.
In most 3-bedroom flats, bedrooms are grouped away from the living area. Often a hallway leads to the bedrooms, separate from the living room. This helps keep noise from TV or guests in the living room from reaching the bedrooms easily.
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.
