FAQs
Check window seals and drainage before rainy season starts. Ensure you have adequate ventilation to prevent mold in humid conditions. Stock up on dehumidifiers or moisture absorbers. Know how to operate all fans and air-con units efficiently. Test that umbrellas and rain gear are accessible, and understand evacuation procedures if your area is flood-prone.
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.
Common arrangements include parents' master bedroom, children's shared room, and a guest/study room. Some families give each child their own room, while others use one as a home office or playroom. Consider your family's current and future needs, including whether children will want separate rooms as they grow.
Report common area issues like lift problems, lighting, or pest control to the town council. For unit-specific issues, coordinate with your landlord first. Understand which maintenance falls under town council responsibility versus landlord/tenant responsibility. Keep town council contact information handy for emergencies.
Compare total costs including utilities, factor in privacy benefits and not having to share common areas with housemates. Consider whether the studio's location, amenities, and independence justify potentially higher costs than a room rental. Think about your lifestyle preferences and need for personal space.
Yes. It should clearly state the monthly rent, the security deposit amount and conditions for return, what’s included in the rent (for example, are utilities or Wi-Fi covered?), the length of stay/notice period, and any specific house rules or restrictions. This protects both you and the landlord (or main tenant) by ensuring everyone knows the terms. Also, confirm that the landlord has approval to rent out the room (especially important in HDB flats, where there are rules on room rentals).
With multiple rooms and potentially multiple air-con units, electricity costs can be substantial. Consider zoned cooling - only cool rooms that are in use. LED lighting throughout the unit reduces electricity consumption. If sharing with others, discuss fair splitting of utilities based on actual usage patterns rather than equal division.
Yes, even a tiny balcony is useful. You can sit outside for fresh air—place a small chair and table to create a cozy outdoor corner. Some tenants use balconies to dry laundry (if allowed) or grow a few potted plants. It's like having a little extra outdoor space for relaxation.
