FAQs
Learn evacuation routes from your room to emergency exits, understand fire alarm procedures, and know where fire extinguishers are located. Check that smoke detectors in your room work properly and report any issues. Understand building fire safety rules about blocking corridors or emergency exits with personal items.
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.
Landed houses often have higher utility consumption due to larger spaces and multiple floors. Air-conditioning costs can be significant with bigger rooms and common areas. Water usage may be higher with garden watering. Discuss how utilities are split among housemates and whether there are caps or guidelines for usage to avoid bill shock.
For kids, safety is key. Look for window grilles or child locks if you’re in a high-rise. If there’s a balcony, ensure it’s safe (you might add netting or grilles). Choose rounded furniture edges and secure bookshelves. A simple toy storage system keeps clutter controlled and reduces tripping hazards during busy mornings.
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.
Landed houses usually offer better parking options than condos or HDBs. Check if parking is included in rent and how many cars are allowed. Some have covered parking or car ports. Confirm access hours if there are automatic gates, and ask about visitor parking arrangements. Street parking rules vary by area, so understand local regulations.
Landed houses may have multiple entry points, ground-level access, and outdoor areas requiring different security considerations. Check all locks, consider motion sensors or security systems, and understand neighborhood security patterns. Establish routines for securing the property and coordinate with neighbors if appropriate.
Prepare a list of questions about utilities, maintenance, lease terms, and neighborhood amenities. Bring a measuring tape for furniture planning and take photos/videos for later comparison. Check water pressure, electrical outlets, mobile reception, and natural light. View properties at different times if possible to assess noise levels and traffic patterns.
