FAQs
Usually yes, but it’s important to clarify the rules. Ask your landlord or flatmates about kitchen use: Can you cook full meals anytime or is it “light cooking only”? Also, check how fridge space is shared. Make sure you clean up after using the kitchen (wash your dishes, wipe the stove) as a courtesy. As long as everyone respects common areas, you should be able to use the kitchen and store your groceries in the fridge without issue.
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.
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.
HDB units offer excellent value for families with practical layouts and nearby amenities like schools, clinics, and childcare. The strong community environment provides social support networks. Playgrounds and void decks offer safe spaces for children. However, consider space constraints in newer flats and noise from neighbors due to closer proximity than landed houses.
Yes, a larger space usually means higher utility costs. In a 4-bedroom, you may run four or more aircon units plus more lights and devices, which adds up. More people/rooms also likely means more water usage. So expect to pay higher electricity and water bills than in a smaller unit. To manage costs, use AC and lights only when needed and choose energy-efficient appliances.
A lot of 1-bedroom units have small bedrooms. A queen-size bed usually fits, but a king-size might be a tight squeeze. With a king, you might have little room left for bedside tables or a dresser. Always check the room dimensions beforehand to ensure you can still move around comfortably.
Decide early on how to keep the place clean. Many housemates create a rotating chore schedule so each person takes turns cleaning common areas (like kitchen, bathroom) each week. Alternatively, some households chip in to hire a part-time cleaner for a couple of hours weekly or bi-weekly. The key is to ensure everyone is on board with the plan. Also, basic etiquette helps – everyone should clean up after themselves (wash your dishes, don’t leave personal stuff all over common spaces) so the home stays tidy day-to-day.
Look for stains on ceilings, peeling paint, and musty smells after rain. Outside, inspect gutters, downpipes, and ground drains for blockages. Ask about recent roof repairs and how quickly water pooling or leaks are handled when reported.
