Maximize vertical space with over-door organizers, under-bed storage boxes, and wall-mounted shelves that don't require drilling. Use multi-functional furniture like storage ottomans. Check if you can use common area storage like store rooms or if the landlord allows additional furniture.
Clarify with your housemates or landlord how utilities are divided. Often, all occupants split electricity, water, and internet bills equally. In some cases, if one person uses significantly more (e.g., air-con all day), they might pay a bit more. It’s important to agree on a fair arrangement upfront so everyone knows their share of the monthly bills. Keep bills visible to everyone and record transfers for transparency.
Singapore's vibrant food delivery scene means lots of packages arriving. Establish rules about receiving deliveries for absent housemates, sharing delivery fees for group orders, and storing food in shared fridges. Label your items clearly and respect others' food. Consider setting up group orders for popular restaurants to save on delivery fees.
Ask about work schedules, sleep schedules, social habits, cleanliness, and how issues are handled. If one of you is very neat and the other more casual, it could cause friction. Observe fridge organization, sink state, and bathroom tidiness during viewing. Look for someone whose daily routine and approach to shared living align well with yours. Trust your instincts – feeling comfortable with their personality is a good sign.
When relocating from overseas, arrange virtual viewings through video calls, request detailed photos and floor plans, and consider hiring a local representative for in-person viewings. Time viewings carefully around your arrival date, and prepare to make quick decisions in Singapore's fast-moving market. Have all required documents ready digitally, and consider temporary accommodation for your first few weeks to allow for proper in-person viewing before committing long-term.
Common deductions include excessive cleaning needs, damaged furniture or fixtures, unpaid utilities, missing keys or access cards, and alterations made without permission. Normal wear and tear should not be deducted. Take detailed photos at move-in and move-out to document the property's condition. Keep all receipts for any repairs or replacements you make.
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.
Deposits are security against damage and unpaid bills, usually returned after handover if conditions are met. Read the break clause carefully, including notice requirements, potential fees, and whether a replacement tenant is allowed. Keep everything documented and dated.
Save the signed agreement, inventory, payment receipts, and all maintenance chats. Store dated photos of existing defects and meter readings. Keeping a single folder prevents disputes and speeds up deposit discussions at the end.
Factor in daily transport costs to work, not just rent. A cheaper rental far from MRT might cost more overall with daily taxi/grab rides. Consider monthly transport passes, peak hour surcharges, and travel time value. Properties near MRT stations command higher rent but offer convenience and cost savings. Calculate your total monthly housing + transport budget realistically.
