FAQs
A common bedroom (smaller room without attached bath) is usually a fit for single renters who want a more budget-friendly option. You’ll trade privacy for affordability, so focus on good housemate fit, clear rules, and a layout that gives you a calm place to unwind.
1-bedroom units often share walls with neighbors, so consider sound insulation when choosing. Units facing busy streets or playgrounds may have more noise. Check if bedrooms share walls with neighbors' living areas or bathrooms. Corner units typically offer better privacy and less noise from neighbors, though they may cost slightly more.
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.
Calculate total monthly costs including rent, utilities, maintenance fees, and transport costs, then divide by usable square footage. Factor in efficiency of space usage - a well-designed 1-bedroom may offer better value than a poorly laid out larger unit. Consider included amenities, storage space, and whether the layout maximizes livable area versus wasted corridor or awkward spaces.
While landlords pay maintenance fees directly, these costs often influence rental prices. Understand what facilities and services these fees cover, as higher fees might mean better maintenance and amenities. Ask about any special assessments or major repair works that might affect the building during your tenancy.
Use multi-functional furniture like storage beds, extendable dining tables, and wall-mounted desks. Create defined zones with room dividers or furniture placement. Utilize vertical storage, under-stair spaces, and consider whether the living area can double as a workspace or guest room when needed.
You can use a spare bedroom in many ways. It could be your home office or study, a guest room for visitors, or even a hobby room. Some people turn the extra room into a walk-in closet or extra storage. Essentially, it's bonus space you can adapt to your needs.
Living alone means being prepared for emergencies like power outages, water leaks, or medical issues. Keep emergency contacts readily available, know your building's security and maintenance procedures, maintain a basic first aid kit, and establish check-in routines with family or friends. Know your neighbors and building management for urgent situations when you can't reach your landlord.
