FAQs
Ask about air-con use and costs. Many HDB owners let you run it at night but expect you to share the electricity bill or servicing costs. Check that the air-con unit is working well. If it's older, it might be noisier or less efficient.
Condos often run entirely on electricity (no city gas), so heavy air-con or hot water use can push up the power bill. Expect to split utilities—electricity, water, internet—with housemates. Clarify your share and which bills are included in your rent to avoid surprises.
You’ll likely enjoy space, privacy, and potential outdoor areas. You won’t share walls or floors with neighbors, so noise is less of an issue. It suits families, pet owners, or hobbies needing storage. In return, expect more maintenance involvement. Clarify responsibilities for gardens, drains, and exterior checks before signing the agreement.
Popular facilities like BBQ pits, function rooms, and tennis courts often require advance booking and may have peak time restrictions. Weekend slots fill up quickly, especially for BBQ areas. Some facilities have time limits or cleaning deposits. Download the condo's app or check with management about booking procedures, cancellation policies, and any additional charges for facility usage.
Clarify which accounts must be in your name and how meter readings are recorded at handover. Photograph readings and sockets you’ll use heavily. Schedule installation visits early so internet and power changes don’t disrupt your first week routines.
Use thick curtains or blinds, consider a white noise machine for sound privacy, and establish quiet hours with housemates. Create personal space within your room with furniture arrangement, and communicate your need for privacy respectfully. Good locks and personal storage help maintain security.
Ground floor units offer easy access without lift dependency, convenient for moving furniture or groceries, and potential for small gardens or patios. However, they may have less privacy, more noise from foot traffic, and security concerns. High floor units provide better views, more privacy, less noise, and better ventilation, but depend on lift access and may be less convenient for daily errands.
Yards need care. Ask if the landlord handles gardening or if tenants must do it. You might be expected to do basics like watering plants or mowing the lawn. If you share the house, agree on a plan so the outdoor space is maintained without overburdening anyone.
