FAQs
Request to see the landlord's NRIC and property ownership documents or tenancy agreement if they're a main tenant. Check property records through official channels if needed. Be wary of landlords who refuse to meet in person, demand cash-only payments, or pressure for immediate decisions. Legitimate landlords will provide proper documentation and allow reasonable verification time.
Landed houses may require additional insurance considerations due to ground-level access, gardens, and potential flooding risks. Check if your landlord's insurance covers tenant belongings and liability for accidents on the property. Consider additional coverage for valuable items and personal liability, especially if you have guests using outdoor areas or pools.
Yes. Check that there’s an aircon in each bedroom and the living room. Make sure they all work. Also note the number of power outlets in each room. Some older flats have few sockets, so ensure there’s one where you plan to put your TV or computer. If not, you’ll need extension cords. Knowing this upfront helps you plan.
Confirm whether you’ll park on a driveway or street and how visitors should park. Test gate mechanisms and night lighting. If you own bicycles or scooters, ensure secure storage and a practical route without lifting heavy equipment up stairs.
Look for sun exposure, corridor traffic, and window seals. Older blocks may show wear, so check for water stains, spalling, and musty smells. Test airflow with windows open and closed to understand heat buildup and ventilation effectiveness.
Many are, but not all. Confirm air‑con in your room, servicing schedule, usage rules, and who pays for maintenance. Older compressors may be less efficient and noisier.
HDB flats are government-built public housing with practical layouts and affordable rent, but fewer amenities. Condominiums are private developments with facilities like pools and gyms, but higher rent and management fees. Landed houses offer the most space and privacy with gardens, but are the most expensive and may be further from public transport. Each serves different lifestyle needs and budgets.
Furnishing a 4-bedroom requires more furniture (beds, sofas, tables, etc.), so budget and plan accordingly. You can furnish gradually room by room. Cleaning is also a bigger job – more floor space, more bathrooms, more surfaces to wipe. Expect to spend extra time on chores or consider hiring help. It's wise to clean in zones (a room or area each day) so it's manageable.
