FAQs
Discuss overnight stays, notice needed, and how often guests visit. Align on using shared spaces when visitors are around, noise after hours, and shared bathroom etiquette. Written guidelines avoid misunderstandings and help everyone host without tension.
HDB 2-bedroom units offer more space and value but fewer amenities. Condo 2-bedrooms cost more but include facilities like pools and gyms. Landed 2-bedroom units (rare) provide maximum privacy and space but highest costs. Consider your priorities: budget and space (HDB), amenities and lifestyle (condo), or privacy and outdoor space (landed).
HDB estates periodically undergo upgrading works that can last months. This includes lift upgrading, facade improvements, and infrastructure updates. Renovation noise from neighbors is also common and allowed during specific hours (usually 9am-6pm on weekdays). Check if any major upgrading works are planned for your block before signing a lease.
You can use a spare bedroom in many ways. It could be your home office or study, a guest room for visitors, or even a hobby room. Some people turn the extra room into a walk-in closet or extra storage. Essentially, it's bonus space you can adapt to your needs.
Clarify which accounts must be in your name and how meter readings are recorded at handover. Photograph readings and sockets you’ll use heavily. Schedule installation visits early so internet and power changes don’t disrupt your first week routines.
Set polite boundaries. Keep your door closed or locked when you need personal space or quiet. Communicate with housemates about quiet hours (for example, agree on lowering noise after a certain time at night). Use headphones if you’re watching movies or listening to music late. Respecting each other’s schedules and discussing noise or privacy concerns openly will help everyone coexist comfortably.
Look for termite trails, droppings, and swollen wood. Check ceilings and corners for water stains and bubbling paint. Outside, inspect gutters and downpipes after rain. Ask about previous treatments and how quickly issues are handled when reported.
Yes, many couples rent master rooms. If you’re a couple, confirm with the landlord that two people are allowed in that room (most masters are fine for couples, but some landlords set limits). Consider that as a couple, you’ll likely use more utilities – discuss with your housemates or landlord how the utility split is handled for two people. Also, ensure the master room has enough space and storage for both of your belongings. Privacy-wise, a master is great since you have your own bathroom and more space, which suits a couple’s needs. Just be open about being a pair so everyone in the household is aware and okay with it.
