FAQs
In a landed house, residents handle all the cleaning. Large spaces (living rooms, kitchen, stairs) mean more work, so housemates should set a chore routine or hire a cleaner together. Agreeing on who cleans what (and when) keeps the big home comfortable for everyone.
Most condos have strict renovation guidelines that tenants must follow. You typically cannot make structural changes, install permanent fixtures, or renovate during restricted hours. Even minor changes like painting or installing shelves may require management approval and deposits. Always check with building management and get landlord consent before making any modifications.
2-bedroom units typically cost 60-80% more than 1-bedroom units, but when shared between two people, can be more economical per person than individual studios. Factor in additional costs like higher utility bills with more space to cool and light. Consider whether the extra space and privacy justify the higher cost for your lifestyle and budget.
HDB units offer excellent value for families with practical layouts and nearby amenities like schools, clinics, and childcare. The strong community environment provides social support networks. Playgrounds and void decks offer safe spaces for children. However, consider space constraints in newer flats and noise from neighbors due to closer proximity than landed houses.
Multi-story landed houses can have complex privacy dynamics with bedrooms on different levels. Consider noise transmission between floors, whether your room has direct access or requires passing through common areas, and how bathroom sharing works across floors. Upper floor rooms may offer more privacy but require consideration of stairs and emergency access.
Use thick curtains or blinds, consider a white noise machine for sound privacy, and establish quiet hours with housemates. Create personal space within your room with furniture arrangement, and communicate your need for privacy respectfully. Good locks and personal storage help maintain security.
Yes, tenants can usually use condo facilities like the pool, gym, function rooms, or BBQ pits. Ensure the landlord gives you a resident access card. Some amenities require advance booking or small fees (e.g., BBQ pits or tennis courts), so check the condo’s booking procedures and rules.
Short-term rentals (6 months or less) offer flexibility for uncertain situations but typically cost 10-20% more per month and provide less stability. Long-term leases (1-2 years) usually offer better rates, priority during renewals, and stable housing, but limit your ability to relocate quickly. Consider your career stability, relationship status, and life plans. Many landlords prefer long-term tenants and may offer incentives like rent freezes or minor upgrades.
