FAQs
You need to plan beyond just monthly rent. Budget for your security deposit, utility bills (electricity, water, gas), internet, and any regular maintenance or air-con servicing costs. Also factor in moving expenses and possible agent fees.
Ventilation is key. Always use the range hood when cooking and open windows if you can. In a studio, smells travel fast, so clean up right after cooking. You can also light a scented candle or simmer lemon water to help clear the air.
Living alone can be isolating, so actively build social connections through neighborhood activities, building events, co-working spaces, or hobby groups. Consider inviting colleagues or friends over regularly, join community centers or sports clubs nearby, and maintain regular contact with family and friends. Balance the privacy benefits of solo living with intentional social engagement.
Master rooms offer more privacy for hosting but require coordination with housemates about guest policies. Clarify overnight guest limits, shared area usage when you have visitors, and whether guests can use common facilities. Be considerate about noise levels and bathroom queue times when hosting. Your ensuite provides privacy but ensure guests understand house rules and respect other tenants' space.
If you rent a common room, you’ll likely share a bathroom with one or more housemates. Agree on morning and evening peak times, cleaning duties, and storage space for toiletries. A shower caddy and labeled shelves reduce friction. Expect to compromise a little on timing and cleanliness habits, but overall, as long as everyone is considerate (cleaning hair from the drain, not hogging the bathroom for an hour), sharing a bathroom is manageable.
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.
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.
Landed houses have different safety profiles with multiple entry points, windows at various levels, and potential outdoor access. Ensure proper locks on your room and understand emergency evacuation routes from upper floors. Consider personal security measures and understand neighborhood safety patterns, especially if your room has ground-level access.
