FAQs
For unit-specific issues, contact your landlord first. For common area problems or facility issues, you can report directly to condo management. Some condos have apps or online portals for maintenance requests. Understand the difference between landlord responsibilities (your unit) and management responsibilities (common areas) to report issues to the right party efficiently.
For two roommates, equal-sized bedrooms (and ideally two bathrooms) are preferable. For a small family, a larger master and a smaller second bedroom (for a child or study) works fine. So it depends: roommates usually want a balanced layout, while families can manage with one bigger and one smaller room.
Look for persistent damp smells, water stains, mold, warped wood, peeling paint, pest traces, and poor ventilation. Test taps, appliances, windows, and locks. If something seems off or the landlord avoids answering questions, consider it a red flag.
You get an extra room to use flexibly. For example, parents in one room, kids in another, and the third bedroom becomes a study, home office, or helper’s room. Basically, the third room means you don’t have to sacrifice having an office or guest space—you can have both.
Set polite boundaries. Keep your door closed or locked when you need personal space or quiet. Communicate with housemates about quiet hours (for example, agree on lowering noise after a certain time at night). Use headphones if you’re watching movies or listening to music late. Respecting each other’s schedules and discussing noise or privacy concerns openly will help everyone coexist comfortably.
No, they aren’t equal. Usually, the master bedroom is largest, and the other bedrooms are smaller. Often the third bedroom is particularly tiny – fine for a kid or study, but tight for a big bed. So check dimensions: one room will likely be much smaller than the master.
Deposits are security against damage and unpaid bills, usually returned after handover if conditions are met. Read the break clause carefully, including notice requirements, potential fees, and whether a replacement tenant is allowed. Keep everything documented and dated.
Decide early on how to keep the place clean. Many housemates create a rotating chore schedule so each person takes turns cleaning common areas (like kitchen, bathroom) each week. Alternatively, some households chip in to hire a part-time cleaner for a couple of hours weekly or bi-weekly. The key is to ensure everyone is on board with the plan. Also, basic etiquette helps – everyone should clean up after themselves (wash your dishes, don’t leave personal stuff all over common spaces) so the home stays tidy day-to-day.
