FAQs
Renting a whole unit suits those who value privacy and space. It’s ideal for families, couples, or a group of friends who want the whole place to themselves. You can use and arrange the home as you wish, but you also shoulder full responsibility for rent, bills, and maintenance.
Sharing reduces rental costs and can provide companionship, but requires compatibility and clear agreements about shared spaces, expenses, and lifestyle habits. Consider whether both bedrooms are equally desirable, how to split utility costs fairly, and what happens if one person wants to move out early.
Research comparable listings to understand market rates before negotiating. Be prepared to make quick decisions as good properties move fast. Consider offering longer lease terms for rent discounts, or ask for inclusions like utilities or internet. Present yourself as a reliable tenant with references and proof of income. Avoid lowball offers that might offend landlords.
Address cleanliness issues diplomatically by establishing clear cleaning schedules and standards upfront. Document problems with photos if needed, and discuss solutions rather than blame. Consider implementing a cleaning roster, shared cleaning supplies fund, or hiring occasional deep cleaning. If issues persist, involve the landlord or main tenant as mediator. Sometimes different cultural or personal standards require compromise and clear communication.
Condo deliveries usually go through security. If you're not home, couriers often leave parcels at the guardhouse or management office for you to collect later. Some condos will call you or have lockers for packages. Find out your condo's parcel procedure so you don't miss any packages.
For kids, safety is key. Look for window grilles or child locks if you’re in a high-rise. If there’s a balcony, ensure it’s safe (you might add netting or grilles). Choose rounded furniture edges and secure bookshelves. A simple toy storage system keeps clutter controlled and reduces tripping hazards during busy mornings.
Yes, usually the dining area in a 4-bedroom flat is sized for a big family. You can typically fit a 6- or 8-seater table comfortably. Some layouts have a separate dining room, others a large combined living/dining area. Either way, you should have space for everyone to eat together. It’s wise to measure if you own a huge dining set, but generally these units accommodate family dining well.
Run taps and flush toilets to check water pressure (and watch for leaks). Turn on lights, fans, and air-con to ensure they work. Test any provided appliances as well. Check walls and ceilings for water stains or mold. Note any problems and have the landlord address them before move-in. Photograph any defects and attach them to the inventory to avoid end-lease disputes.
