FAQs
Request written consent before drilling or painting. Confirm patching and color reinstatement at move out. Keep invoices for any professional work. Small changes can improve livability, but agreeing responsibilities now prevents friction when returning the unit later.
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.
1-bedroom units offer better entertaining space than studios with separate living areas. However, overnight guests may need to use a sofa bed in the living room. Consider the bathroom situation - ensure guests don't need to go through your bedroom to access facilities. The kitchen size may limit your ability to cook for larger groups.
Expect a quieter, more suburban lifestyle with potentially longer commutes to city centers. You'll have more space and privacy but fewer nearby amenities compared to HDB or condo living. The pace is generally slower, with more responsibility for property upkeep. Consider whether you prefer the space and tranquility over urban convenience and connectivity.
Landed houses have different safety profiles with multiple entry points, windows at various levels, and potential outdoor access. Ensure proper locks on your room and understand emergency evacuation routes from upper floors. Consider personal security measures and understand neighborhood safety patterns, especially if your room has ground-level access.
Check for window safety features, electrical outlet covers, sharp corners on built-in furniture, and secure balcony railings. Look for adequate lighting, non-slip flooring in bathrooms, and whether the layout allows parents to supervise children easily. Consider proximity to playgrounds and family amenities.
HDB 2-bedroom units offer more space and value but fewer amenities. Condo 2-bedrooms cost more but include facilities like pools and gyms. Landed 2-bedroom units (rare) provide maximum privacy and space but highest costs. Consider your priorities: budget and space (HDB), amenities and lifestyle (condo), or privacy and outdoor space (landed).
Clarify whether you can use gardens, patios, or outdoor areas, and what maintenance responsibilities you might have. Some landlords allow tenants to use outdoor spaces for relaxation or small gatherings, while others restrict access. Understand any rules about outdoor furniture, plants, or modifications.
