FAQs
Save the signed agreement, inventory, payment receipts, and all maintenance chats. Store dated photos of existing defects and meter readings. Keeping a single folder prevents disputes and speeds up deposit discussions at the end.
Address excessive utility usage diplomatically but firmly. Document patterns with photos of meter readings or bills showing spikes. Propose individual monitoring solutions like smart plugs for high-energy appliances or separate air-con timers. Consider splitting bills proportionally based on actual usage rather than equally. If direct conversation fails, involve the landlord to mediate or implement individual metering systems.
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.
Older HDB flats are usually more spacious but come with age. They might have older fittings and be a bit more worn, and some can get warm if they lack modern ventilation or insulation. Newer flats have updated interiors and designs, but they often trade off some space – rooms and living areas might be smaller. Think about whether you prefer the extra room of an older flat (and don’t mind a bit of old-school charm) or the fresh finish of a newer, albeit cozier, flat.
Ask whether pets are allowed, any size or breed restrictions, and cleaning expectations before move out. Disclose allergies or sensitivities early. If you need small modifications, like childproof latches, get written consent and agree on reinstatement responsibilities.
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.
Yes – condos strictly limit renovation noise to certain hours. Loud work (like drilling) is only allowed on weekday daytimes (no noisy construction at night or on Sundays). Any repairs or renovation you plan must also be scheduled within the allowed daytime hours.
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.
