FAQs
Condos regularly conduct fogging for mosquito control, especially during dengue seasons. You'll receive advance notice to close windows and stay indoors during fogging. Remove or cover food, drinks, and personal items that might be affected. Understand the schedule and duration of these activities, and plan your day accordingly. Some buildings also do regular pest control that may require temporary room access.
Landed houses can attract more pests (like mosquitoes, ants) since they’re at ground level and have gardens. Check for window screens and ask if regular pest control is done. Also look for water stains or damp spots that could signal roof or drainage leaks.
Condo management fees (maintenance fees) are typically included in your rent, but some landlords may pass increases to tenants. These fees cover facility maintenance, security, and common area upkeep. Ask if rent includes all management fees or if there are additional charges for facility usage. Higher-end condos with more amenities generally have higher management fees reflected in rental prices.
HDB estates often have nearby markets, food courts, clinics, schools, and community centers. Many have playgrounds, fitness corners, and resident committee activities. Check proximity to essential services, public transport, and whether the estate has active community programs that might interest you.
Create zones with rugs, shelving, and lighting changes. Use furniture placement to carve out separate areas. For example, a shelf or screen can divide your bed from the rest of the space. Try to group your bed, sofa, and desk separately, so sleeping, relaxing, and working each have their own corner in the room.
Use multi-functional furniture and vertical space. For example, a bed with drawers underneath or shelves up high on the walls adds storage without taking floor space. Declutter regularly and use hidden storage (like ottomans or coffee tables with compartments) to keep your studio organized.
Aside from rent, you cover all ongoing costs. Budget for utilities (electricity, water, gas if any) and internet each month. If the unit has air-con, plan for regular servicing. You’re also responsible for minor maintenance like replacing light bulbs or filters. Basically, all household bills and upkeep fall to you.
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.
