2 Bedroom Condos and Apartments for Rent in Newton FAQs
Some noise might travel, yes. If the two bedrooms share a wall, you may hear talking or TV from the other room. Layouts that put bedrooms on opposite sides of the living room help. Also, newer buildings often have thicker walls.
Sharing reduces rental costs and can provide companionship, but requires compatibility and clear agreements about shared spaces, expenses, and lifestyle habits. Consider whether both bedrooms are equally desirable, how to split utility costs fairly, and what happens if one person wants to move out early.
Request to see the landlord's NRIC and property ownership documents or tenancy agreement if they're a main tenant. Check property records through official channels if needed. Be wary of landlords who refuse to meet in person, demand cash-only payments, or pressure for immediate decisions. Legitimate landlords will provide proper documentation and allow reasonable verification time.
Rental demand typically peaks during university intake periods (July-August and January) and expat relocation seasons (June-August and December-January). Prices may be higher during these periods. Consider timing your search during off-peak months for better deals and more negotiating power. Chinese New Year period often sees reduced activity.
Prepare a list of questions about utilities, maintenance, lease terms, and neighborhood amenities. Bring a measuring tape for furniture planning and take photos/videos for later comparison. Check water pressure, electrical outlets, mobile reception, and natural light. View properties at different times if possible to assess noise levels and traffic patterns.
Condo management committees can make decisions about facility usage, renovation rules, and additional charges that affect tenants. While you can't vote, stay informed about upcoming decisions through your landlord. Major changes like facility closures or new rules may impact your rental experience. Good landlords will communicate these changes and their implications.
Run taps and flush toilets to check water pressure (and watch for leaks). Turn on lights, fans, and air-con to ensure they work. Test any provided appliances as well. Check walls and ceilings for water stains or mold. Note any problems and have the landlord address them before move-in. Photograph any defects and attach them to the inventory to avoid end-lease disputes.
Check window seals and drainage before rainy season starts. Ensure you have adequate ventilation to prevent mold in humid conditions. Stock up on dehumidifiers or moisture absorbers. Know how to operate all fans and air-con units efficiently. Test that umbrellas and rain gear are accessible, and understand evacuation procedures if your area is flood-prone.
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.
At move-in, note any existing damage (take photos) and inform the landlord immediately so you’re not held liable. At move-out, return the home in the same condition: clean thoroughly, fix any minor damage you caused, and ensure all items are returned. This way you should get your deposit back.
