FAQs
Students and young professionals often prefer HDB rooms for affordability and convenience. Expat families typically choose condos for amenities and international community. Established families might opt for landed houses for space and privacy. Consider your lifestyle priorities: budget-conscious renters suit HDB, amenity-seekers prefer condos, and space-needing families benefit from landed properties.
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.
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.
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.
Check the agreement for notice and replacement terms. Align on advertising, viewings, and how utilities are split during the gap. Keep shared costs transparent so no one subsidizes unfairly. Get approvals in writing before a new person joins.
Master rooms often face away from common corridors and have better sound insulation. The ensuite means fewer bathroom queue interactions with housemates. Larger windows might offer better views and natural light. However, check if the master room faces busy streets or neighboring blocks, which could impact privacy and noise levels.
HDB regularly upgrades older estates with new lifts, facades, or facilities. While improvements are beneficial long-term, they can cause temporary noise, dust, and access disruptions. Check if any upgrading is planned during your lease period and how it might affect your daily routine and rent.
Use the second bedroom as a study (or an office/guest room combo). If both bedrooms are in use, find a nook in the living or dining area for a desk. For instance, a small desk by a window can serve as a cozy work spot. Pick a corner that doesn't disrupt daily living.
