FAQs
Request written consent before drilling or painting. Confirm patching and color reinstatement at move out. Keep invoices for any professional work. Small changes can improve livability, but agreeing responsibilities now prevents friction when returning the unit later.
Moving to a master room means adjusting to more space, privacy, and responsibility. You'll have your own bathroom to maintain, potentially higher utility bills, and may be expected to take more household coordination responsibilities. Consider whether you're ready for the lifestyle change, can afford the premium, and want the additional privacy. The transition often comes with both benefits and increased expectations from landlords and housemates.
For unit-specific issues, contact your landlord first. For common area problems or facility issues, you can report directly to condo management. Some condos have apps or online portals for maintenance requests. Understand the difference between landlord responsibilities (your unit) and management responsibilities (common areas) to report issues to the right party efficiently.
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.
Master rooms often face away from common corridors and have better sound insulation. The ensuite means fewer bathroom queue interactions with housemates. Larger windows might offer better views and natural light. However, check if the master room faces busy streets or neighboring blocks, which could impact privacy and noise levels.
A studio apartment is basically one open room (with a separate bathroom). It's best for a single person or a couple who don't mind a compact space. If you prefer minimal upkeep and everything in one area, a studio could suit you.
Living alone means you bear all utility costs, so efficiency matters. Use programmable thermostats for air-conditioning, switch to LED lighting, and unplug devices when not in use. Consider your usage patterns - cook in batches, do laundry efficiently, and use appliances during off-peak hours if available. Monitor your monthly bills to identify high-consumption periods and adjust habits accordingly. Some units benefit from smart home devices to optimize energy usage.
You get an extra room to use flexibly. For example, parents in one room, kids in another, and the third bedroom becomes a study, home office, or helper’s room. Basically, the third room means you don’t have to sacrifice having an office or guest space—you can have both.
