FAQs
Condos regularly schedule maintenance for elevators, water systems, and facilities that can disrupt daily routines. Stay informed through building notices, plan alternative routes during elevator maintenance, and keep backup water supplies during plumbing work. Communicate with your landlord about any major disruptions that affect your room's habitability or access.
Master rooms typically consume more electricity due to larger space and ensuite bathroom usage. You'll likely run air-con longer, use more lighting, and the ensuite adds water heating costs. Discuss with housemates whether utility splitting accounts for room size differences or if everyone pays equally regardless of consumption.
Condos often require advance notice for moving, elevator booking, security deposits for potential damages, and specific timing restrictions. You may need to register with management, provide tenant information, and understand building access procedures. Plan ahead and coordinate with your landlord for smooth move-in logistics.
Check that the kitchen has adequate ventilation to prevent cooking smells from overwhelming the living space. Ensure sufficient counter space for meal prep and storage for kitchen essentials. Look for a proper range hood and consider the proximity to your sleeping area. Some studios have kitchenettes with limited cooking capabilities - confirm this meets your culinary needs.
Master rooms often face away from common corridors and have better sound insulation. The ensuite means fewer bathroom queue interactions with housemates. Larger windows might offer better views and natural light. However, check if the master room faces busy streets or neighboring blocks, which could impact privacy and noise levels.
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.
In most 3-bedroom flats, bedrooms are grouped away from the living area. Often a hallway leads to the bedrooms, separate from the living room. This helps keep noise from TV or guests in the living room from reaching the bedrooms easily.
Use thick curtains or blinds, consider a white noise machine for sound privacy, and establish quiet hours with housemates. Create personal space within your room with furniture arrangement, and communicate your need for privacy respectfully. Good locks and personal storage help maintain security.
