FAQs
Yes. It should clearly state the monthly rent, the security deposit amount and conditions for return, what’s included in the rent (for example, are utilities or Wi-Fi covered?), the length of stay/notice period, and any specific house rules or restrictions. This protects both you and the landlord (or main tenant) by ensuring everyone knows the terms. Also, confirm that the landlord has approval to rent out the room (especially important in HDB flats, where there are rules on room rentals).
Most 4-bedroom units have one master bedroom with ensuite, and three smaller bedrooms sharing 1-2 additional bathrooms. Some premium units offer two master suites. Common areas typically include larger living/dining spaces and bigger kitchens to accommodate family needs. Check if bedrooms are clustered together or spread throughout the unit for privacy considerations.
Go furnished for convenience and lower upfront setup, but inspect furniture condition and note wear expectations. Choose unfurnished for flexibility and hygiene control, factoring in delivery time, storage needs, and the effort to move items at lease end. It really depends on whether you have furniture and want to customize the space or prefer a move-in-ready setup.
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.
Not all HDB blocks have lifts on every floor. In some older blocks, the lift may stop only on certain levels, meaning you’d need to take the stairs for a floor or two. Check if the flat’s floor has direct lift access for convenience, especially if you have lots to carry or anyone with mobility issues. (Newer blocks usually have lifts on every floor.)
Newer HDB estates offer modern fittings, better insulation, and more efficient layouts, but rooms may be smaller and rent higher. Older estates provide more spacious rooms and lower rent, but may have aging infrastructure and require more maintenance. Newer estates often have better accessibility features and integrated amenities, while older ones offer more character and established community networks.
Equal split is common, but consider room size differences and individual usage patterns. Master bedroom tenants might pay slightly more due to ensuite usage and larger space. Track air-con usage if one person uses it significantly more. Some roommates prefer separate electricity meters or smart plugs to monitor individual consumption for fairer billing.
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.
