FAQs
Run the shower and taps to test water pressure and hot water – make sure it heats up and flows well. Flush the toilet to ensure it works properly. Look around for any signs of leaks or mold (check under the sink and around the edges of the shower). See if there’s a ventilation fan or window, because you’ll want moisture to escape to prevent mildew.
Consider your family's growth plans and changing needs over the lease period. Evaluate room sizes for current and future occupants, proximity to schools and family-friendly amenities, and whether the layout supports aging in place. Factor in the total cost of ownership including utilities, maintenance, and potential rent increases. Choose a location that balances space needs with commute convenience and community resources.
Be wary of listings with prices significantly below market rate, requests for payment before viewing, or landlords who can't meet in person. Verify ownership through property records if possible. Never transfer large sums without seeing the property and meeting the actual landlord or authorized agent. Use secure payment methods and get proper receipts for all transactions.
Ground floor units offer easy access without lift dependency, convenient for moving furniture or groceries, and potential for small gardens or patios. However, they may have less privacy, more noise from foot traffic, and security concerns. High floor units provide better views, more privacy, less noise, and better ventilation, but depend on lift access and may be less convenient for daily errands.
Look for termite trails, droppings, and swollen wood. Check ceilings and corners for water stains and bubbling paint. Outside, inspect gutters and downpipes after rain. Ask about previous treatments and how quickly issues are handled when reported.
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.
Landed houses often have helper's quarters or space for live-in domestic help. Clarify with your landlord whether you can employ helpers, if there are designated helper areas, and what additional costs or responsibilities this entails. Understand helper accommodation standards, work permit requirements, and whether helper facilities like separate bathrooms or kitchens are included in your rental.
Yes, tenants can usually use condo facilities like the pool, gym, function rooms, or BBQ pits. Ensure the landlord gives you a resident access card. Some amenities require advance booking or small fees (e.g., BBQ pits or tennis courts), so check the condo’s booking procedures and rules.
