FAQs
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.
In most 3-bedroom flats, bedrooms are grouped away from the living area. Often a hallway leads to the bedrooms, separate from the living room. This helps keep noise from TV or guests in the living room from reaching the bedrooms easily.
Agree which tasks are tenant responsibilities, like light bulbs and basic filters, versus landlord duties. Report issues early and follow the preferred contact channel. Keep receipts and before-after photos so reimbursements or approvals remain straightforward later.
Large units require more planning for furniture placement, multiple trips, and potentially professional movers. Book moving services early, plan room assignments in advance, and coordinate utility connections. Consider hiring cleaning services and factor in longer setup time to make the large space feel like home.
Check for window safety features, electrical outlet covers, sharp corners on built-in furniture, and secure balcony railings. Look for adequate lighting, non-slip flooring in bathrooms, and whether the layout allows parents to supervise children easily. Consider proximity to playgrounds and family amenities.
Look for layouts where bedrooms don't directly face each other for better privacy. Check if both bedrooms have windows for natural light and ventilation. Consider whether the kitchen is open or closed to the living area - open kitchens feel spacious but cooking smells spread. Ensure there's adequate storage throughout the unit, not just in bedrooms.
Landed properties may require different maintenance approaches for multiple levels, outdoor areas, and potentially more complex systems. Understand your responsibilities versus the landlord's, know how to access different areas safely, and establish procedures for reporting issues. Consider whether you're comfortable with the maintenance demands of a larger property.
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.
