FAQs
Multi-story landed houses can have complex privacy dynamics with bedrooms on different levels. Consider noise transmission between floors, whether your room has direct access or requires passing through common areas, and how bathroom sharing works across floors. Upper floor rooms may offer more privacy but require consideration of stairs and emergency access.
Condo living often attracts young professionals and expatriates, creating diverse, international housemate communities. Expect higher living standards and potentially more transient housemates who may move frequently for work. The facilities create natural social opportunities - you might meet neighbors at the pool or gym. However, this can also mean more temporary relationships compared to HDB community living.
Living alone means being prepared for emergencies like power outages, water leaks, or medical issues. Keep emergency contacts readily available, know your building's security and maintenance procedures, maintain a basic first aid kit, and establish check-in routines with family or friends. Know your neighbors and building management for urgent situations when you can't reach your landlord.
Short stays exist but many landlords prefer 12‑month leases. If you need flexibility, ask about minimum term, extension options, and early termination fees before you pay a deposit.
Address issues early through calm, direct conversation before they escalate. Use 'I' statements to express how situations affect you rather than making accusations. Suggest practical solutions and be willing to compromise. If direct communication fails, involve the landlord or main tenant as a mediator. Document serious issues and consider whether the living situation is sustainable long-term.
Go furnished for convenience and lower upfront setup, but inspect furniture condition and note wear expectations. Choose unfurnished for flexibility and hygiene control, factoring in delivery time, storage needs, and the effort to move items at lease end. It really depends on whether you have furniture and want to customize the space or prefer a move-in-ready setup.
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.
Coordinate with your roommate about quiet hours, morning routines, and shared space usage during different schedules. Consider soundproofing measures like rugs, curtains, or white noise machines. Discuss kitchen and bathroom usage during early morning or late night hours. Establish guidelines for guests and entertainment when one person is sleeping.
