FAQs
HDB's ethnic integration policy may limit rental options based on the current ethnic composition of the block. This affects both tenants and landlords. Be prepared for potential limitations and understand that this is a government policy designed to maintain racial harmony, not discrimination by individual landlords.
Consider your family's growth plans and changing needs over the lease period. Evaluate room sizes for current and future occupants, proximity to schools and family-friendly amenities, and whether the layout supports aging in place. Factor in the total cost of ownership including utilities, maintenance, and potential rent increases. Choose a location that balances space needs with commute convenience and community resources.
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.
Many 1-bedroom flats have a bathroom door off the living room. But some layouts only have an en-suite bathroom accessible through the bedroom, meaning guests must enter your bedroom. If you host often, look for a unit where the bathroom is accessible from the living area.
Condo living offers natural opportunities to meet neighbors through shared facilities like pools, gyms, and BBQ areas. Be respectful of facility rules and considerate of others' usage. Participate in condo events or activities if available. However, respect privacy - some residents prefer minimal interaction. Building good relationships can lead to helpful neighbors and a more pleasant living experience.
Know your landlord's emergency contact and preferred repair service providers. For urgent issues like water leaks or electrical problems, act quickly to prevent damage and notify your landlord immediately. Keep receipts for emergency repairs - some landlords reimburse reasonable emergency costs. Understand what constitutes an emergency versus routine maintenance that can wait.
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.
Sharing with 3+ roommates requires clear agreements about shared spaces, cleaning schedules, utility splits, and house rules. Consider personality compatibility, lifestyle habits, and how to handle conflicts. Establish guidelines for common areas, guest policies, and what happens if someone moves out mid-lease.
