FAQs
Check whether it’s in the kitchen or bathroom and listen for spin noise near the bed. Ensure there’s a drying area with airflow. If stacking is possible, measure carefully. Quiet operation matters when your sleeping and laundry zones overlap.
Many require a booked timeslot for lift padding and may collect a refundable deposit. Confirm required forms, booking windows, and whether your landlord handles them. Plan deliveries to match the approved window so movers aren’t turned away unexpectedly.
Singapore's vibrant food delivery scene means lots of packages arriving. Establish rules about receiving deliveries for absent housemates, sharing delivery fees for group orders, and storing food in shared fridges. Label your items clearly and respect others' food. Consider setting up group orders for popular restaurants to save on delivery fees.
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.
3-bedroom units offer excellent flexibility for families. Start with a master bedroom, nursery, and guest room/study. As children grow, convert the study to a second child's room. The extra space allows for toy storage, play areas, and separate study zones. Consider child-proofing requirements and proximity to good schools when choosing location.
Having a private attached bathroom is convenient – no sharing with others. You can use it anytime without waiting. However, you’ll be responsible for keeping it clean (there’s no one else using it). Check that the ensuite has good ventilation or a fan, since moisture can build up. Ensure the drainage slope, water pressure and hot water in the shower are good when you inspect. Overall, an ensuite adds comfort and privacy, but comes with the task of sole upkeep.
Verify the main tenant has landlord approval to sublet by asking to see the original lease agreement. For HDB rooms, check that the flat meets minimum occupancy requirements and ethnic quota rules. Ensure the person renting to you is actually authorized - meet them in person and verify their identity. Get everything in writing including house rules, deposit terms, and notice periods. Be wary of cash-only transactions or reluctance to provide documentation.
HDB has ethnic integration policies that may affect room rentals. Some HDB flat owners can only rent to tenants of certain ethnic groups to maintain racial balance in the block. This is a government policy, not discrimination. Ask landlords upfront about any restrictions and understand it's about maintaining community diversity, not personal preference.
